Basic Weekly Plan

So I’ve spent a few minutes (maybe a couple of hours) putting together a basic weekly plan and some basic routines.  This has worked for me in the past using Flylady.net basic premise and helps.  This process, when put together, makes up a good part of my Control Journal.  My Control Journal is all the information needed to run this house, simplified.  Here’s what I got so far:

There are so many other things that I do in a day, to list them all would be way to overwhelming.  By listing what I have here, I can focus each day on those items and know that if I miss them one week, chances are I’ll catch them the next week.  I feel that this is easier for me to stick to than the MOTH schedule that schedules every single moment of every single day.  I get behind and then get frustrated if I have to live by such a strict schedule.  Also, with the above chart, I can give one of the older girls a job to do and we can work on the list together.
