Every month or so I sit down, devise an elaborate system of to do lists, bullet journals, whiteboards, apps and charts in order to organize my lazy arse and have a streamlined and efficient lifestyle a la Pinterest.

Then I get so exhausted with the planning and the planning gets so complicated that it shortly goes all awry and I'm left a disorganized mess with an untidy house, a pile of washing and unfinished paperwork lying on my desk silently mocking me..

Please tell me how you successfully organize your day-to-day and save me from my self!!

Work Monday - friday. Schoolnrun non and toes with dd in wraparound so quick tea those days.

Alternate doing bed times with dh.

Have a family planner on fridge and everything goes on there.

Dh does weekly shop Friday's (he works mon and tues) and he cleans then too.

I clean bathrooms at weekends.

Take if in turns to have weekend lie in

All bills through direct debit.

I have this week off.I am not doing extra housework or guilt.
All bills are on direct debit coming out on the first if the month so I just check what my budget is left.I have dd doing the meal plan so shop twice a week.l tidy as I go and a quick clear before bed.
I am recharging my batteries this week,I toyed with the idea of blitzing the house but apart from being able to cook meals that take a bit longer than I have done as little as possible.
Someone up thread though has reminded me that I too have bulbs to plant so may have to rise from the sofa at the weekend.

@IfyouseeRitaMoreno you’re very welcome though I exagerate all the time and also put pressure on others. So everything needs to have a limit. I am working on it Smile

I was the same before becoming a Mum. DD has been at nursery for a visit and I had a couple of hrs and have blitzed the house while she’s been gone.

I don't put this much thought into it to be honest. I have robust childcare/school in place so dc know the routine for that. I go to work 3.5 days. When I'm not at work I sort washing, cleaning, shopping.
We have a large diary with a column for each person so me and Dh fill in work, social commitments as they come in. We then do the dc ones for them. All ticks along fine most of the time
