Spring Cleaning doesn't usually happen in my house is my favorite activity
OK. That's not really my house but it sure makes my house look SPOTLESS! LOL!
I clean. I just don't do the toothbrush version that some moms do. I usually clean the outside of the windows and organize a few closets and drawers and call it Spring Cleaning.
This year I am, starting TODAY, SPRING STREAMLINING!
I am categorizing the hours in my day so I am more productive both in good health and in our home.
If everyone is healthy and going to school, I have an empty house from 8:30 am - 1:00pm. That's 4 1/2 hours a day to be productive. Of course I can still fold laundry and do dishes when the kids are home but those 4+ hours are UNINTERRUPTED hours and if you are a mom, you know that is GOLDEN!
So, when the last kiddo hops on the bus @ 8:30, I have devoted that first hour to exercise. This morning I walked (in the rain) for an hour and 10 minutes. (9:30) I have Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and we have the JUST DANCE 2 Wii game. I will be juggling these as my mood suits.
The second hour I am tackling a project or cleaning. This morning I gutted my youngest's room and put it back together. Some stuff is going to Goodwill, some went to the garbage, sheets were stripped and I vacuumed up a ton of crumbs and junk. (10:30)
The third hour will be MY CREATIVE time. This is when I will work on one of my manuscripts, do some illustrating, catch up on my scrap booking, make some jewelry... in other words, an hour of PURE JOY! (11:30)
The fourth hour and the extra half will be the discretionary hour. Grocery shopping, paperwork and correspondence, out to lunch with hubby, running errands, heading to Barnes & Noble, etc. (1:00)
I am NOT a scheduled person - I HATE living by the clock. But, I have seen over and over in my life, my
To-Do list just grows and grows and things fall by the wayside and I don't pay attention to what I need to be focusing on.
These hours I have constructed are still guided by the clock but as you see I have choices within those hours to suit the mood and give me an option for having each day be different from the one before.

Sounds like a great plan. I'm an empty nester who works from home, so I really have no excuse not to get more done. My husband's gone by 7am and usually isn't home till 4. My hours are my own and I tend to fritter them away. I believe I accomplished more when I had 4 kids at home and worked 2 part time jobs! It's said that you fill up the time you have--if you have 20 mins to get something done, it takes 20 mins. If you have 2 hrs for the same task, it'll take 2 hrs. Seems to be my motto.
A good blog always comes-up with new and exciting information and while reading I have feel that this blog is really have all those quality that qualify a blog to be a one
