Shining sink 365 day 28

I was trying to think about what to talk about today with everyone today and I came up with this TIME MANAGEMENT.  Yes that is right time management so now you are thinking how does time management go with shining your sink well here it is if you manage your time in a good manner than you will be able to have the time to shine your sink before it is to late at night.  My disclaimer is that what works for me will not work for everyone and this is just how I have found that I can manage my time to allow more time for me in the day.  I want to stress how important that it is to do your routines.  When I say routines I mean morning routines, afternoon routines, and before bed routines.  Everyone's routines may be different but I follow along with flylady as I do with most everything that when comes to cleaning.

My morning routine looks like this:
~Get up and get dressed to shoes
~Make the bed
~ Wash face and fix hair
~Swish and swipe the bathroom
~Breakfast
~Clean up kitchen from breakfast

My Afternoon Routine:
~Set out meat for supper
~Have lunch
~Clean up lunch dishes
~Do a walk though picking things up and putting away

Before Bed Routine:
~ Wash dishes/ shine sink
~ Lay out clothes
~ Check calender for the next day
~Make a to do list for the next day
~Go to bed at a decent hour

I feel like when I do my routines that I have more time in my day I am getting things done any my routines do not take that long at all.  My routines take a total of 30 minutes max.  I have days that I do certain things this also frees up my time.  I am not spending time thinking about what has to be done.  I know that on Mondays I do a WHB, Tuesdays I do meal planning and bill paying, Wed I do projects that I have been putting off like for tomorrow I am going to work on my touch up painting in my kitchen, Thurs is Fridge clean up and deep cleaning,  Friday is errands and grocery shopping this is also date night, Sat is Family fun, and Sunday I renew myself and save the day for church.   Now during the week I make my list and try to stick to them as much as possible.  I will do my best to get things done before lunch on the top half of the list taking a few 15 minute breaks to have time for me and the things that I want to do like knitting.  Then after lunch I work on the second half of my list and I want the list done by the time that the kids get home from school so that I have time for after school activities and home work.  Then I always schedule supper to be started by 5 if I do not have something already made.  We eat at 6 and bath at 6:30 so the kids can be in bed by 7.  This is my me time I have the rest of the night for me to relax and unwind.

So as you see scheduling my time and sticking to my routines ensures that I get my sink shining in a timely manner and that I still have time for me.  So set you routines and pick what days you need to get things done on and you will be well on your way to having a good schedule for time management.
