I first came across the idea of "zones" with FlyLady a very long time ago. Her zones never suited my house so I learned to make my own. Having just moved into a new house the old zones from a 100 year old house don't suit a modern home with a proper laundry and 3 bathrooms. (Yes, a Proper Laundry and 3 bathrooms!)
I have taken my old schedule and tweaked it a bit. It generally takes a good few hours and a bar or two of chocolate to sort it out, but it is so nice once done to have a plan. And of course the motivation to get it done is high when you have just moved out of a house and noticed just how much dust there was on the tops of the books and how many cobwebs were hiding on walls where I couldn't reach them before.
My scribbles:
I have now created some lovely pages which I will print out and bind with my menu plans for a complete housekeeping book.
I know there are prettier ones out there but I just wanted functional and easy to understand. This will work quite well for me for 6 months when I will most likely decide to tweak it.
Now to finish those boxes, create a plan for the new homeschooling authority I need to work with, and figure out how I am going to get enough time to do Uni studies in 2 week's time.
Best wishes
