Making Your Routines Solid – Getting Organized

Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
                      
Each month we practice a specific routine. As you are practicing this month’s routines, how are you doing with shining your sink and decluttering daily?

Your routines are like a dance. You take it one step at a time in a certain order, and before you know it, you are done! Of course, I know there are things that pop up that you have to work around sometimes. Appliances break. Children get sick. You get sick. Appointments pop up on your calendar.

The secret to managing these interruptions and not losing your momentum with your routines is to keep them simple and keep practicing them. As I am writing today, I have had the dishwasher running, the washer going, and the dryer on. I get up every 45 minutes to switch things out and drink my water.

You can do this with your routines. If you need a sticky note or a written list in a sheet protector, then write out simple routines for yourself. It will help you keep track. If you have an iPhone, you can download a free app to help you.

FlyLady Plus is a free app that is a part of The FlyLady family, and it is available in the app store from iTunes. Your three daily routines are set up in the app. The Zone Missions are also set up in the app.

Today’s Zone Mission in the kitchen is to shine your sink. That was our habit in January. How have you done with keeping your sink shiny since January?

Your Home Blessing for today is to dust and vacuum.

My menu plan for Tuesday is tacos and a salad.

Have a wonderful day!
