How do I keep my house clean and not feel overwhelmed?

Okay are you tired of constantly cleaning to no relief? Don't want to spend all your hard earned money on a maid? Perfect!
Here's how:

First you make a list of everything and anything you think should be done within your house.

Now place everything on that list under one of these categories
Here's an example is use

Daily: sweep, dinner, dishes, counters..etc
Bidaily: I don't use
Weekly: each room in house, mop, vaccume
Monthly: dog baths, clean cages, windows..etc

Go to excel and create a chore chart examples below.

Assign a weekly/bi weekly task  under each day

print and put in a pocket/sleeve protector and you can mark off done items with a dry erase marker as you do. :) for kids make a rewards system.

**So audrie (shes 4) gets a sticker for every chore she completes when she fills up her sticker chart she gets a toy from dollar store or something small like a candy bar.

**for older kids you can do vacation days. So everyday they do all of their chores with no complaints they earn 1/4 of a vacation day. They need all 4 to skip their chores for a day. Feel free to put vacation day earnings on your chart so you and them don't forget!

-And if they have a vacation day either you can do it, or if it's not important let it go undone till next week when it pops back up ;)
