Weekly Cleaning/Chore Schedule

So I was cruising through blogs the other day,

and I stumbled across this little beauty from Household Management 101

I think I found it on facebook?

Regardless, I know that I've been beating myself up a lot about my housekeeping.

I always have. It's just never a skill I developed.

My mom is like amazing at keeping things tidy.

And I'm just the epitome of a clutter trail wherever I go.

Please tell me there's others like me out there. Let's form a group! We can go to CA meetings.

Clutterholics Anonymous.

And through a passing conversation with my mom,

as well as finding this little beauty of an inspiration,

I figured I'd try implementing something like this.

And since if I put it up on the blog, maybe I'll follow it better,

here we go!

Now I'm going to be making my own, mostly because I have to customize things.

Just the itchy fingers I've got I guess.

Besides, some of these things don't apply, and I also know I need extra.

I am hoping this will alleviate the overwhelmed feeling I get all the time,

and I can have a more continual sense of accomplishment,

and a more continually tidy house!

All right boys and girls,
I think that I finally have it nailed down!
Now I just have to try and get it done on schedule and diligently.

This way I won't get overwhelmed.
I know I'm doing enough each day because it's all planned out.
And I can feel that sense of accomplishment each day,
instead of feeling unhappy because there's still so much to do.

I am going to do this.
Going. To. Do. This.

Tell me, do you have any success stories with a cleaning schedule?
Do you need/have one or are you one of those super cool people who don't need it
but your house is still well kept?
