Working Towards: A clean home

So I woke up this morning with a new outlook on cleaning. For a while now, I've been dreading any sort of cleaning. In reality, my house is a complete mess again. My living room is yet again the cleanest room in the house. Cleaning doesn't have to be something that you dread every time you wake up, it could become something you look forward to. Even a few small things that you do when you walk past a certain area of the house could make a huge difference. The tough part is the things you don't think about or look at on a regular basis. Those things for me would be dusting just about anywhere, mopping our hardwood floors and tidying up all of the shelf surfaces in our house. I never think to do those. 

So the trick is juggling the easy with the hard. To do this, I decided I'm going to use popsicle stick. Now you're probably wondering how popsicle sticks are going to help me with my cleaning, I can understand why you would be confused! I mean really, popsicle sticks?! 

Popsicle Stick Chores

Well what I decided to do is take two plastic cups, one for the "good" or daily and one for the "bad" or weekly. 

I'm sure you know where I'm going with this now. I painted all of the popsicle sticks white and wrote on each of them a different chore. After that I separated them into the two cups (Daily and Weekly). 

My plan is to finish every stick in the daily cup daily of course and I want to work on the weekly cut within the first 3 days of every week. I chose the first 3 days because I want the weekly chores to always be about a week apart. 

Next post I'll update you guys on how the popsicle stick chores are working out!
