Keeping It Together Part 2

I have a problem. I physically can NOT relax or think clearly if I'm in a messy environment. If the floor is hiding beneath piles of dog fur and the sink is bulging at the seams with dirty dishes, you really can't expect me to relax and enjoy my day with Lady. I can't get the bills paid or the family brain filled out unless the house is in order.

I've tried different approaches to keeping the day family household ship shape all the time and here's the list of things that didn't work and why:
1. A cleaning day (because it must be done more often then once a week and I hate missing out on an entire day of events just so I can catch up with my laundry)
2. A chore list for HIM and HER (they never work for reason's that don't need explaining :))
3. Trying to do it all every day (I was missing out on valuable time with Lady because I couldn't always squeeze it in between her naps)
4.5.6.... (all the other ways that never work because by the time I get done cleaning, I have no energy left to do the stuff I NEED to do!)

SO I HAVE DEVISED A PLAN and so far it has been working out nicely. We are still in the trial period but it has been over a month now and I've found the success rate to be high and the stress rate to be low..... It's a way to avoid wasting an entire day or week away to cleaning your house. If done properly it should not require more than 24 minutes of you day, that's shorter than an episode of the Brady Bunch! That is only 1.7% of the total minutes you have in a 24 hour period. That means you get 98.3% of your time spent on more important stuff and you're happy because your house is in order!..... Stay tuned:)
