    Hi Cath,

    I have finished reading through all of your daily chores. They said spot on with what I might be doing should I suddenly stop working f/t. Thanks for sharing (all those years ago) but I have one question. If you were working outside of the home, leaving at 8am and arriving back home at 4pm, with three kids still at school, how would you suggest tweaking the chores? I always start the week with great intention and motivation but by Wednesday/Thursday, I am exhausted.
    Kinds regards,
    Vicky

      Hi Vicky, the secret it to stick to the routine! I did this with three kids at school, and working full time. Each time you do the routine, it gets easier. The first time will be harder, because obviously it is the first time. Then then next time is a little easier and faster, and so on. These days it takes me about 35 minutes on a Monday to get through the list, it is habit. But the whole list must be done every week. After about 3 - 4 weeks it is pretty much just a maintenance clean, the deep cleaning has been done, and you won't ever need to do it again. I used to get up about 6am, before the kids, to get started with my day. If you don't think you can get it all done in the morning, split it and do some of an evening. It really doesn't take that long, if you do it. I also found that if I sat down, then it was harder to get going again, so I'd get stuck in and get things done then sit down. Depending on how old your children are, they can help, even toddlers can pick up toys or take washing to the laundry etc. But the main thing is stick to the routine, even if you think you can skip a week, don't. It will just make the next week that little bit harder and longer.
