I always appreciate being able to look at examples of my home keeping tasks.  I’m just sharing today in a simple list format my home-keeping tasks broken down into daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annual and annual tasks.

It isn’t meant for you to follow task-for-task but to ponder your home and what are important home-keeping tasks for your home and family.  I don’t get to all this every week, month, year, etc. but it serves as a guide.  I am most consistent with my Morning and Evening Routines.  They have also become habits and just happen without thinking about it.

Every day doesn’t go as planned and the Lord may have other plans for me other than cleaning my kitchen or family room, but I can usually get a few items tidied and taken care of in each room.  I focus on what needs the most time and attention.  If you don’t get to anything else, at least try to tidy the room for the day (quick feather dust and vacuum make a big difference too). I used to zone clean but just spending an hour a day in each room has been a lot easier for me.  This is a great time to train your children to help with chores around the house.  They are great dusters, vacuumers, organizers & scrubbers!

    I really love your ideas here and appreciate you listing it out! I love seeing how other people run their homes and do life and getting bits of inspirations. You’ve given me some great ideas here and I really appreciate it!

    I like how you list everything out. I used to have printed list and I seem to do better when I have one. Of course, then sometimes I get stuck trying to get my checklist “done” instead of doing what is important. I found you through the Homestead Barn Hop.

"God's written Word, the Bible, is God's greatest "God's written Word, the Bible, is God's greatest earthly gift to his people, second only to the living Word, Jesus. And because the living Word perfectly lived out the written Word, we are blessed beyond measure. Jesus fulfilled every precept found in Psalm 119, keeping the principles and commandments of this psalm, and he did so on our behalf.⁣

Our failure to live wholeheartedly is covered by Jesus, who lived it perfectly for us. Ultimately, he is Psalm 119 in human form, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14)."⁣

I’m sharing a walkthrough of various tools and s I’m sharing a walkthrough of various tools and systems that help me to get things done. It’s a practical episode, and I hope to encourage you, if nothing else, to take a look at how your days are going and ask yourself some simple questions like:⁣
⁣
What is working and what is not working?⁣
Where do I find myself wasting time?⁣
Where can I make better use of my time?⁣
Can I simplify my days or various tasks or automate them?⁣
⁣
These are just a few questions to ponder, and there are many more you can ask, but the main one is to seek the Lord and ask him, are you a good steward of your time? Is your desire to honor Him amid your days and in how you spend your time?⁣
⁣
Many more than ten systems or tools help me manage my days, but these items top my list. I’ve shared more in detail on some of these in past blog posts or podcast episodes, but I wanted to put together an episode that walked through how I use each one.⁣
⁣
An episode like this one is more helpful to me than you because it helps me to think through my days and systems and tools and determine what is working for me and what isn’t.⁣
