My Favorite Chore Planner

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy .

Have you ever started a project that lead to another project, which lead to another project? I have! In the end, it would seem like I just made a bigger mess and nothing got done. This would often leave me feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and like a terrible homemaker.  To top it off, making a list was time-consuming in and of itself. Not only did it take forever, but I was forgetting things that I needed to do to maintain my household, like changing the air conditioner filter. Can any of you relate? Sometimes you just need someone to tell you what to do. That’s why I was excited when I discovered Motivated Moms over 6 years ago.


Disclosure: I received this product for free. All opinions expressed are my own and I was not required to post a positive review.

Motivated Moms is a chore planning system to help you have a clean and organized home and still have time for yourself. It is an easy system to help you know what to do each day. Just consult the list, do the work, check it off for the day and enjoy your free time!

Learn More About Motivated Mom Chore Planner

  • The chore planner is available as a printable eBook which comes in several layouts to pick from.  It can be downloaded and then printed.  Perfect for those of you that like to physically cross things off a list!
      
  • It is also available as an app from iTunes, Google Play, or Amazon. With the apps, you can add unlimited custom tasks and assign tasks to people and rooms, which in turn you can then sort. I LOVE these additional features of the app!

          

How I Use this Chore Planning System

First, I stick to the plan.  Once I started using this planner I only allowed myself to do what was on the list, which has eliminated a lot of my frustrations. On days I didn’t get something done I’d let it go, knowing that it would show up again. With the list already created for me, I no longer worry if I am missing something and I feel good about accomplishing just the few chores I have to complete each day.

Second, I assign tasks to family members. As you can see from my picture below, each week I go through and assign different chores by color-coding.  Each member of the family has their own color. I love that we all work together to complete the week’s chores and that there are several tasks that are perfect for my preschooler.

The Bottom Line

I can’t say enough about this chore planner.  Overall, this is a great system to help you stay on top of your household chores and still have free time in your day! I highly recommend it!

    I’m not sure there is a specific chore that I detest but the remembering them before someone mentions it and I feel like a horrible housekeeper.

    Honestly, I think that doing the laundry and everything that the job entails is the absolute worst chore in the house. I don’t mind cleaning my bathroom because it is just the two of us using it, but the boys bathroom is another story. That one is the punishment chore when the boys are extremely naughty. 🙂

    My least favorite chore is cleaning the bathrooms unless you count decluttering as a chore. I am a pack rat! I really need help in the cleaning department. I have been slacking and my hubby wants me to create a schedule so this might help if I won it.

    Sweeping and mopping — with 5 littlies under the age of 6, it is a constant chore! I’m envious of your steam mop! Maybe I should ask for that for Christmas…

You all, it is so important to do everything you c You all, it is so important to do everything you can to make sure to maintain your health and your family's too this season.  My family and I always take proactive steps in the winter. Honestly, the steps we have taken in the past have kept my family healthy and we rarely get sick. This year we are adding some extra things to help support our immune system.  I've had several people asked me what I'm doing, so a few of my friends and I are actually going to have a little sharing session this Wednesday night (8:15 EST). We will be sharing all the ways we stay proactive with our health, especially in the winter. We'll have some practical tips, as well as some, must-haves to keep on hand to help your family stay above that wellness line. 

It's happening this Wednesday (11/18) at 8:15 pm EST.  Let me know if you want in and I will get you the dets. 

We will be talking about essential oils, but there are so many other things we do as well.  We will have a packet for everyone that comes, so you won't have to worry about your hand cramping from all the notes you'll want to write down!
You all, I can't believe it is November! However, You all, I can't believe it is November! However, I'm so glad it is because I am tired of all the crazy this year and I need to change my attitude! I'm going to be intentional this month and practice gratitude. 

Here's the thing, I think you should join me because research studies show that finding a bit of thankfulness each day can actually increase your happiness level and decrease depression!! It also increases physical health (hello cold & flu season), brain function, and a sense of fulfillment. I know, with everything going on in the world right now I could use a little more of ALL of that!

So, who's with me? What are you thankful for today?

🍂Today I am thankful for the colorful fall leaves swirling by my windows. 🍂
I love this reminder from the Lord! Last week was I love this reminder from the Lord!

Last week was our first week back to homeschool. And I think it is safe to say that we all dealt with an array of emotions that week.  I had to give myself a timeout the first day!! So, this reminder is perfect as we begin this week

After evaluating how things went I can see that it was my thoughts and attitude that was the ultimate cause of my feelings of frustration and irritation. Things weren’t going the way I had planned. 

I mean, let’s be honest this year isn’t really going as any of us have planned. Am I right? 

Here’s the thing, we have a choice in how we think, and since our thoughts affect our emotions, we have a choice in how we feel. 

But praise the Lord we don’t have to let our circumstances dictate our attitude or the the way we think!

WHO ELSE NEEDS THE SPIRIT TO RENEW THEIR THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDE THIS WEEK?
