Housekeeping: that household mess, it keeps going and going and going. It’s a perpetual chore that we diligently need to keep going on to stay on top it. We all have different ways of keeping ourselves energized.
\n<\/p>\n

\nAssignment:
\n<\/strong>How do you keep energized so you can get it all done? bouncy music? treat it like a workout? Do you use a schedule?, a housekeeping binder system? luck of the draw system?.. or is this an area where you need encouragement? Do you need God’s help to keep order and beauty in your dwelling place? Take this week to tell us how You diligently keep going with your housekeeping chores.<\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

I have tried many different systems over the years.  The one that I always go back to is MotivatedMoms.com<\/a>.  I tie it into the kid’s program, Accountable Kids<\/a>, and that seems to work best for us.<\/p>\n

I must confess, though.  I have a housecleaner come through once a week for three hours.  I keep my house tidy, but she keeps my house CLEAN!  Half of my part time paycheck goes to her, but it is totally worth it.<\/p>\n

<\/font>I kept a binder for a while.  My favorite one is called "Yearbook for the Homekeeper"<\/a>.  Not only do you track chores, you also track homeschool plans, menus, grocery list, etc.  It is an excellent "one – stop" resource.<\/font><\/p>\n

When I am not feeling motivated, I will set the timer for 15 minutes and clean as quickly as I can.   I have the kids do this as well and give them a specific goal to work on, not just "clean".  When I used to watch TV, I would clean during commercials. <\/p>\n

I have a channel on my computer for music that is called "Kickin’ Christian".  It helps me keep my energy up when cleaning.<\/p>\n

I often take the time that I clean to pray for those who God brings to my mind.  I also give thanks for the floors I sweep, the clothes I wash, the dishes I clean.  There are so many who don’t have what I often take for granted.<\/font><\/p>\n
