cryltquast: Printable Chore Lists - For More Than Just Chores

Printable chore lists are great for keeping track of the everyday tasks in
a household. You can do a lot with them, including reducing the nag factor
in your home, putting your organizational skills on steroids, and teaching
your kids self-discipline.

With a little creative thinking, however, you can use the mighty chore
list for much, much more.

-- Can you say "repair work?"

Do you get tired of feeling like there's a constant stream of fix-it jobs
in your home? By putting some order into that task it won't seem so
overwhelming anymore.

Put a printable chore list in each main area of your home. For example,
post one in the kitchen, the garage and each bathroom. When a family
member notes something that needs to repaired, they simply jot it on the
chore list. Just think of it.

* Leaky faucets.
* Squeaky doors.
* Broken knobs.
* Peeling wallpaper.
* Stuck dispensers.
* Burned out light bulbs.

You name it. Then once a week (or whenever you like), you can gather the
chore lists and take care of all the fix-it items all at once. Obviously
this doesn't work for emergency repairs and you may have to train your
family on the difference between the two. However, this method is a much
more efficient idea of keeping up with all those little honey-do projects
than the normal hit-and-miss way of doing things.

Plus, you can run a repair training shop during your once a week fix-it
time and train other family members on how to do those little repairs
every home needs. (That way you don't get treated like the handy-person,
you're simply the repair coordinator. Sounds good, doesn't it?)

-- Caring for our pets.

Everyone who loves a pet knows there is plenty to do to keep the furry (or
feathered) ones happy and healthy. Why not use a chore list to keep on top
of your pet's needs?

Keep track of chores you need to accomplish in caring for your pet, such
as grooming, walking, and cleaning living spaces. Keep track of food and
medication schedules easily, too, as well as maintaining an up-to-date
shopping list for your pet. Do all of that on one chore list, neatly
divided into sections that work for you. Post in an area convenient to
working with your pet and you'll be far more likely to use the list
consistently.

You can also use such a chore list to keep track of behavior issues
concerning your pet. When your veterinarian asks you specifics about your
pet and its health, you'll have the information you need at your
fingertips.

The trick in effectively using these ideas is to choose the blank
printable chore lists you can find anywhere on the web. Print out plenty
of copies and customize the chore lists to fit your exact needs. Saving
several weeks or months of these types of chore lists will give you a
history of house repairs, pet needs, or whatever you are keeping track of.
