Being a Mom and working full time really takes a toll on the functionality and organization in my house. An organized home is a great way to improve structure and overall mental well-being. Clutter and lack of organized space causes extra stress and eventually costs valuable time searching for lost items. This valuable time could be exchanged into making memories my family instead of rummaging through clutter to find important school forms or the missing shoe that forced my daughter to attend school in rainboots on a sunny day. The following schedule can be adapted to suit your individual household needs. I try my best to run this 90 Day organization schedule annually. A well designed and customized organization schedule is a valuable resource for any busy family.
