Personally, chores are the bane of my existence. No really, there is nothing less I would rather be doing on a Saturday than cleaning. In fact chores don’t even break my top 100 list of things I want to do. With that said though, I know they have to get done (as I am not rich enough to afford a live in maid). Despite my dislike for the tasks at hand, I have found that it is in my best interest to complete my chores as fast and efficiently as humanly possible.
Like most things in life, if you simply make a list of the chores that need to be done and a schedule when you would like to have them completed; you will quickly and easily be able to keep your home in spic and span condition.
You may not currently have your own list, that’s OK. Feel free to use one of ours (which you can find at the bottom of this page) or if you are feeling really creative or your simply don’t like our chore checklist, you can simply use our checklist as a guide and make you own.
If you’re in that creative mood here are the top 10 areas that need to be cleaned on a regular basis in the average house.
1. Bedroom(s) 2. Kitchen 3. Bathroom(s) 4. Office 5. Family Room 6. Living Room 7. Dinning Room 8. Basement 9. Game/Play Room 10. Front and Backyards
No matter what you decide to do (make your own list or use ours) you will be amazed at the amount of time you can save by being organized and having all of your weekly chores in one spot. Not to mention, at a glance, you will know exactly what has been cleaned and what still needs to be done that week.
If keeping your home more organized and much cleaner then it currently is wasn’t good enough in and of itself; a good chore checklist will also help keep the other members of your family in line and on top of their assigned chores. If you ask me, that is reason enough to have an established list of things to clean. In the end getting your cleaning system in place should ultimately mean less cleaning for you.
