In an attempt to get more organized before Levi gets here
and throws us into hectic chaos, I decided to create a Chore Chart to keep us
on track. Call it nesting if you will…haha! I don’t know how on board Justin is
with the idea, but he did say that it would be good for us to have a set
routine and to get used to it so that we can set a good example for our kids. I
know he hates prescribed to do lists though, so we’ll see. I assigned different
chores to different days and spread things out throughout the week so it wouldn’t
get overwhelming. I know, I know. This sounds so simple and obvious, but we, unfortunately
have not been using this strategy up to this point. We’ve been going based on
need and not efficiency. No more! I’m also convinced that if we keep up with
it, everything will take less time to do because it is done regularly.
I originally made the chart in fun bright orange and fuchsia,
but Justin shot that down (no pink!)…so now it’s classic Baylor colors – green and
gold (well, pale yellow). Wife created, Husband approved. I’ll let y’all know
how it works out, but so far I’m loving it! I’m a to-do-list kind of person,
but I can get stressed out if I can’t cross off everything on my list. This
chart doesn’t let me cross things off, but I can see what needs to get done all
the same. It feels more flexible. I posted it on our fridge inside a sheet
protector so it’s easily accessible and out of the way.
