Housekeeping tasks - weekly/ monthly/ yearly schedule anyone?!

[squashpie]

Hello,
I'm feeling rather overwhelmed! I like things to be neat, clean and organized and yet they rarely are and then I feel out of control. I thought perhaps I ought to have lists so that I can know what/ when Ishould be doing something but the whole things seems so huge, I don't know where to begin. Does anyone else work to such things and, if so, would they be willing to share them?

TIA for any help!

Come and see us on the Slatterns thread?? We all do lists, any type of list to get us through the day/week/month....

EVeryone's list is different, but you will get some good ideas from them all and be able, maybe, to create your own lists....
