Checklists to Change Your Life



For man
y of us, we desperately want to be more organized or keep a better house, but don’t know where to begin.  Here are some checklists to give you the jump-start you need.

Things to do every day:

- Make your bed

- Wash the dishes

- Put clothes and shoes away

- Process incoming mail

- Wipe down kitchen and bathroom counters

- Take out trash, even if it isn’t full

- Scoop litter box, if applicable

Things to do before bed:

- Wash the dishes in the sink – regardless of how few

- Put together tomorrow’s outfit – be sure to include accessories

- Set up coffee, tea, breakfast

- Make lunch(s)

- Locate your keys and put them where you know to find them

- Charge your electronics

Things to do every week:

- Wash sheets

- Dust surfaces

- Vacuum/sweep all floors

- Wash, dry, and put away laundry

- Wipe down stovetop and oven door

Things to do every month:

Whatever you have to do to remember to do these things, do it!  Print this and put on your refrigerator, set alarms in your phone, ask your kids to remind you.  Whatever it is that you need, just do it and watch the magic that happens.  Fall in love with your home again.
