House cleaning schedule and chore lists

Cleaning schedule by the week

This simple spread breaks down what tasks are to be completed daily by the week. I like how the background includes the zone of the house to focus on for the cleaning. (via @craftydeesigns)

Tip to save time cleaning the shower: use this no-scrub, no-rinse cleaner*.

Flylady spread

Speaking of zones and thinking about your house cleaning by the week, you can create a spread inspired by the FlyLady method of tackling your house chores. Who’s Flylady you ask? A genius woman who has transformed many lives by breaking down housekeeping* into more manageable baby steps. (via @paperandinkco.heidi)

And here's page 2 of bullet journal flylady spread. (via @paperandinkco.heidi)

House cleaning for the year

Here’s the ultimate breakdown of cleaning tasks to do year round: daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, semi-annually, and once a year. (via @my_blue_sky_design)

Tip to figure out how often you should wash everything in your house: check out these best clean house tips that includes this exact list for your reference.

Chore tracker

This minimalist-inspired bullet journal spread is a simple table of columns to indicate when the chores should be done year round. (via @bujo_blossoms)

Chore list

If you have a small space that doesn’t require such an extensive chore chart, then a simple one page bullet journal cleaning schedule could work perfectly for you. (via @simplyproductivity)

52-week cleaning schedule

Or if you’d rather log your cleaning by weeks and plan ahead of time, this is a spread you can try. (via @craftydeesigns)

Tip for clean wipe-downs: Use this magic eraser* to easily wipe away stains.

Housework

No one likes to do chores, so why not make it a little less drab by turning it into a fun game like bingo? (via @doodledaydarlings)

Tip for quick vacuuming: use a cordless handheld with a twistable head* so you don’t have to twist your back to get to all the cracks and crevices of your home.

Decluttering and minimalism in the home

Decluttering challenge

Or better yet, remove things you no longer need so there’s less to clean around the house. Taking on a 30-day decluttering challenge will help you purge the unnecessary from your home. (via @the.bullet.journey)

Konmari method

The Japanese art of tidying up*, as taught by Marie Kondo, is a decluttering technique that is meant to be a lifestyle change. You can create a spread with the main ideas of the Konmari method. (via Pin image)

Konmari checklist

And you can also create a checklist of the items to consciously go through and think about letting go. Nice bullet journal font headings for each room will help keep you organized. (via Pin image)

Capsule wardrobe

On the topic of decluttering and minimalism, you should apply the same idea to your closet. Create a capsule wardrobe of key pieces that you’ll actually wear. You can create some bullet journal doodles to draw our your articles of clothing. (via Pin source)

House projects and home maintenance

Projects for the home

This visual spread is separated by area of the home. In each section, tasks for what to clean out and touch up to spruce up the place are logged in bullet point fashion. (via @mebeleen)

Home renovation

Create a spread to plan and track any remodeling projects in your home. Draw the architectural layout plans, a front view sketch with the new room’s look, and a budget and expenses tracker in the bullet journal. (via Pin image)

House and car maintenance

To keep track of the last time you did things to make sure you’re changing used, dirty things out regularly, create a spread to mark when you did it so you don’t forget. (via Pin image)

Supermarket list

I actually thought about whether this would be more appropriate as a bullet journal food spread, but it’s actually suitable here because there are other common household supplies for the home like toilet paper and soap. (via Christina 77 Star)

One of my favorite ways to make sure that I get my household items automatically without my having to think about it is with Amazon’s Subscribe and Save* program. You get rewarded with a cheaper price if you set your order to be auto-filled every month. Less work AND saving money, uhh, heck yeah!

Home ownership or rental

House hunting questions to ask

Where you decide to situate yourself is a big deal. Mark down a list of questions to ask when you’re out searching for your next place so you have your big concerns answered before you pick your home. (via @the.purple.journal)

House hunting tracker

You’ll also want to keep a log of the places you’ve looked at so you can compare and make a final decision. Mark the address, how much the place is going to cost you, additional notes about the place (eg. close to work, kitchen needs an upgrade, etc). (via The Petite Planner)

Home ownership

Buying a home is a huge step. Use your bullet journal to track the financial part of it. Before you get your place, you could set up savings goals. After you get your place, break down your mortgage or rent, costs to renovate, repair, or add furniture and home décor.

It’s easier to tackle all your home costs if you spread it out over time than one lump sum. (via @craftyenginerd)

Moving timeline

Make moving less stressful and overwhelming by preparing in advance for it. Creating a moving timeline gives you a more detailed sense of when you need to complete your tasks. (via Pin source)

Furniture dimensions

To make sure that your current furniture will fit in your new space, log measurements. No sense in lugging a huge piece that won’t end up in your home due to space limitations. (via @girlmeetsbujo)

Before and after moving list

Don’t forget the things to do after you move into your new home! (via @the.petite.planner)
