My life is hectic. Trying to accomplish all of my daily tasks can be next to impossible some days. I have three dogs and three guys who keep me VERY busy. There are meetings and appointments, errands to run, laundry to do, meals to cook, a house to maintain and so much more. When you add it up, I generally have a to-do list that’s about a mile long. I have learned that creating lists keeps me organized and on task. Plus it helps that I have become a master multitasker.
One thing I learned long ago is that doing things right the first time is the best way to stay on track. Spending more time than needed on one project can create chaos in already busy day . That’s why when it comes to cleaning products, I learned long ago to choose quality products and pass up those cheap products that just cause me more work.

I use an app (todoist) to help me keep track of everything major that needs to get done each day, as well as plan out reminders for smaller weekly tasks that need to be taken care of.
I try and list things by rooms in the house–easiest to the hardest. I clean and straighten each room and move on to the next room. While cleaning I put a load of clothes to be washed in the washer; Also before cleaning starts I put food in crock pots or in the oven. I feel like I’m accomplishing more than one thing at a time.. I take breaks periodically. Turn off my TV and computer.
Divvy up tasks between family members and make sure everyone pitches in a little to accomplish things faster.
