Busy Busy Days

I have so much work to do in the house that it's driving me up the wall. Any tips on effective housekeeping will be very helpful.

I am amazed when I go to other people's homes and they always seem to have things in order. My home, more often than not, is a mess. I can't seem to keep up a lot of the times. I gotta get another approach to my housekeeping otherwise we're forever gonna be apologizing to guests and I'm forever gonna be feeling guilty.

Anyway in order to get organized a bit, here's some ways that I'm planning to get the house in order and have it stay in order:

1. Clean up room-by-room.
2. Finish one task before starting another.
3. Do whatever I'm doing well.
4. Set practical goals.
5. Ask God for help.
6. Don't get overwhelmed- just think of the task at hand.
7. Don't compare with others.
8. Spend half an hour before going to bed to put the house back in order so the next day starts with a clean house.
9. Get into the habit of putting things back where they belong as soon as they're used.
10. Try to minimize household clutter.
