It all begins with a plan. Write out all of your daily chores and divide them among the masses to get them done daily. If you are the only body in the house you may want to simplify the things you need to get done by eliminating the obstacles in your life that make you crazy. This might include buying paper plates to reduce dishes, finding a good laundry service or hiring a house keeper once a month for bathrooms and dusting. If you are a family of 4, divide the responsibilities as evenly as you feel fair. Everyone wears clothes, uses dishes, and sits on the throne; those chores might be where to share. Just as we need to write down the foods we eat in order to fully understand what is going into our bodies, so do we need to write down our responsibilities to fully appreciate where we spend our time.
Chores that need to be done less often might be better accomplished if they are penciled in. Prioritize. Categorize your 'to-do's' in piles of want, need, and must. From there, make appointments to get'er done!
What do we do with all of the free time? Again, make a plan. Look at a local area calendar to find concerts, events, wineries, runs, or fairs that you "wish you had time to attend!" You've made the time! You've gotten your house in order! Now go and enjoy all of those fantasies and festivals that you have been daydreaming about. Time off should be time well spent! Give yourself some time free of work and spend it on you!
Before you go, fuel up with real, naturally occurring food, drink plenty of water, give your vitamins their vitamins and, as always, remember to wash your hands. (Especially in the port-a-potty at that fair you'll soon be attending~ ) You deserve the nourishment! Enjoy~
