Control journal

One thing that you will find key in your quest to have a clean and happy home like they did in the fifties is your control journal.  This is a binder or small folder with tabs to put papers in.  You can start with a real simple control journal that you make your self or you can buy one from the FLYLADY flyshop at www.theflylady.net.  I will give you some examples of what is in my control journal.  I have my daily to do list, menu planner, weekly chores (I have one day on a page and what I do on that do) I have emergacy phone numbers and my address book to.  I also keep a list of the games that I play and you can find all these gams on https://www.facebook.com/messages/conversation-id.123046864511256#!/groups/flyingabovethemoon/?fref=ts they are located in the files section.  I keep mine really basic and I put all of the pages that I will be writing on in a sheet protector and then I can write on it in dry erase and when I need to start over I can wipe it off and start again.  I have a list of things that are a must do for the day and a may do for the day.  I hope this helps you get your control journal started when you have this going you will be never believe how fast your house will get clean
