Now that the kids are back in school, I am trying to get myself more organized. I feel like I am constantly cleaning or folding laundry so instead of spending the day mopping, doing laundry, dusting and cleaning each room, I set aside at least 30-45 minutes each morning once the kids get on the bus to complete a certain task, before I start work. While there are still things that I need to clean daily like the counter tops and dishes, breaking up the cleaning tasks over a weekly period has helped me focus on getting projects and work done while the kids are in school.

Thursday: Bedrooms

Saturday:

Sunday: Meal Planning & Laundry

How do you stay organized?
