maintaining the whole shebang!
Simply check off the 10 items on this list [on a monthly basis] to keep yourself sane. This list is always on the homepage under the maintain the shebang button.
TIP: Do the first 5 items the first half of the month-to "Get Focused" + the next 5 items the second half of the month- "To Get It Done"!
GET FOCUSED!
routine review Look over your sheroutines and adjust to fit your current needs.
schedule review Take a look at your planner. This is the time to reschedule or schedule that appt. Make a date night, email the sitter.
schedule appts. Really now, you should get that dentist appt on the books and get that massage at the chiropractor's office.
plan shetime This one is all about you! Schedule a manicure, get a coffee date on the calendar, take a walk, go window shopping.
meal planning This is my nemesis, but if I just make a simple list following the she VIP meal planning doc I'm less stressed about it.

GET IT DONE!
put-aways These buggers really pile up and take away from your home's ambiance. Put away that project you've finished or abandoned.
dash + dump It just takes 2 minutes and feels so darn good to get the crap out of the house! crap = trash + recycling
dash + donate Set it free sister... take 2 minutes to gather up your "perfectly good" yet you don't even use it items and place them in the car destined for the donation center.
donation drop Stop by the donation center then treat yourself to a latte.
returns Get those return items out of your house and into the car so that you'll have an excuse to go to Target.
"Dash and dump" - I like it! It shouldn't take more than a few seconds with this approach.

It works great to give each family member a bag + put them to work in a designated room.
