Orderliness is the 5th virture from my calendar.
Manage time, people, places, and things so that family members can undertake and pursue more worthwhile goals. Do things efficiently.
~Free time.
~Calm atmosphere.
~Be proactice instead of reactive.
~Peace of mind.
Orderliness in Action
~Have and enforce a.m. and p.m routines.
~Move photos from shoeboxes to photo albums.
~Designate a small child "Toy Boss" and help him keep toys organized.
~Carefully make choices about outside activities.
OH, I really like this one. Orderliness is so important to peaceful homes. I do need to move all my photos to photo albums. What a job!

I have a motto, a place for everything and everything in its place. It works sometimes but not always. I am enjoying reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful piece on Orderliness. It makes a home and family run smoothly and actually the children do better when they know what is expected and when, just as we do
