Fab Tab's

HELLO! How are those Chore Charts/Service Opportunities coming along? If you haven't used them yet try them out this week! Have a sit down with the kids & review with them how to use them & when you expect them to be done & how long you think it should take (the first couple of weeks will be a trial). GOOD LUCK!!

-- Oh yes, there is more this week than just starting to use the charts But lets check off what we have already done. You should have:

A title for your binder
A Daily To Do (wish) List w/ time blocks
A Weekly To Do (wish) List
CHORE list for YOU & Your Children
ZONES
Completed Charts

This week I want you to go back to your TO DO WISH LISTS & add times you want chores done (example if you have one chore time write "chores" or for more write "AM Chores, Lunch Chores, PM Chores") If you want to add when do that too (example noon, after school work, ect or write a time block 30 min).

THEN I want you to get ready to add dividers to your binder now that we have somethings to put in it!! I purchased 2 sets of dividers w/ pockets!! My first set is a set of 5:

1. Chores & More

Copy of kids chores
List of your chores
Zones
List of Areas & cleaning list
(See Flylady for a detailed cleaning list)
Kids Zones & cleaning list for group or individualize for each child -- this will depend on how you organized your zones. E-mail me privately for more ideas on this.

* This week just work on adding to Chores & More Tab. Nex week we will add to tabs 2-5 so just label them for this week.

My next tabs are for homeschooling, I don't want to overwhelm you with these yet, so just focus on the list above this week. I have added some ideas for the chores & more so use this week to adapt some of this for your binder if you wish.

Have Fun!
