I decided what I needed done in a day and when it worked best to do it. THen I taped the schedule inside my kitchen cupboard. I try to keep a running list of things I need to do posted up on the fridge as well because I will forget completely if it's not right in front of me. SO my children are really resistant to doing things out of order now. FIrst breakfast, then bathe and dress, then school work, then clean up from school, then snack, then chores, then we read or they play while I clean the bathrooms or whatever is on my list for today, (I only have two jobs a day besides cooking and dishes, and it all gets done,) then we eat lunch, then baby naps, mommy works and they play outside, then we go out to run errands or go swimming or whatever. Then they pick up the living room while mommy makes dinner, when they finish mommy will tell them a story while I work. Then they set the table, then they eat, then they have a bath and go to bed and then I have time to write and load the dishwasher and take out the trash. I usually do extra projects on weekends when we don't have school to deal with.
