Getting Organized at Home - free cleaning list!

Life just seems to be getting busier! Between work commitments (which is most of the time, what can I say love the job!), volunteer, fun with the BF, and other things I seem to lose track of time and getting things done. Life has started to go back into forgetting to clean the place and eating out way too much. So, I gained some inspiration from Honey We're Home and worked on creating a home organization book. I aimed to not spend much money, so the only out of pocket cost for me was a hole puncher which I seemed to not own anymore since the trapper keeper is no longer in style. Other items I just had on hand included a binder and file folders.


I created a quick intro page just with a pic of the house:

So my categories are right now:


Meals
Chores
Finance 
Projects 
Health


I actually use a Franklin Covey planner for my day to day activities, so unlike the one on Honey We're Home I do not have a daily list to do in this binder.


For Meals, I use Emealz to help get ideas. Since I am limited since I do not eat dairy, I pick and choose from this. When I am being really organized I cut and paste the meals I like from there, then I have a master list in excel of all the meals. To make the week I cut and paste into a document. In this case I just printed the mealz document for the week.

For Chores, I found a template on microsoft site and just changed it for the areas I want.

Here is the document I created for chores - feel free to customize it yourself!

I am currently attempting to use the Dave Ramsey method for budgeting, so those documents are on the next tab. I have a big goal to pay off the house as soon as possible!


Finally, I made a list of projects for the house - wow it is big! Hopefully this will help me stay on track! I need to spend some time over the holidays building stuff
