Best Core Schedule for Lockdown


Lockdown has changed the way we live to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Our life has turned about 180-degrees and is no longer the same as it was a few months ago. Staying at home is a blessing and a task for both of them.

We can no longer depend on maids, cooks and other household help to take care of the house; we now need to manage our regular jobs as well as cooking, cleaning, gardening and other household chores. This may seem like too much work at first, but with the right core schedule, you will find life a lot easier.


Divide

The best thing about the lockdown is that everyone is home together. Therefore, you do not have to worry about doing all the chores in your home, you can get everyone in the family to try and help it. You can divide chores based on their age and the amount of time they have left.



Plan right time


It is important to plan your day. If you are working from 9 am to 5 pm, then you need to plan your work before and after it. If your spouse ends at 11 am and works from 8 pm, their working hours will vary, the same goes for children.



Not all cleaning has to be done every day

 

You can skip some days and do them on alternate days so that you do not have a long list every day. You can do laundry and mopping on alternate days, dusting and sweeping needs to be done daily, watering the plants daily or every other day.

 

Some work requires group effort 

 

Tasks such as cooking and washing clothes are great for the whole family to do together. While cooking, one bites, one cleans, some prepares, one can set utensils, etc. When it comes to washing clothes, someone can put clothes to wash, someone can dry them, someone can bring them in, and someone can do ironing or folding, and so on.

Create a rotational core calendar

 

To avoid boredom, it is a good idea to switch things up and give people a chance to do various tasks. In this way, a person is not always stuck with folding cloth or with water plants; they perform different tasks on a daily or weekly basis. It also brings in fairness as no person gets stuck in all the easy or difficult tasks.

 

Try to reduce the work that needs to be done


If there are not many people around to help, then look for ways to reduce the number of things you have to do. You can plan your meals in advance that way you cook more than before, store it in the fridge and you do not know how to cook for the week. You will have very few dishes for daily washing. You can also pay attention to ways to avoid using unnecessary plates, spoons or other utensils, which way you wash fewer dishes.


Get things done as soon as possible


Schedule tasks so that nothing is pending for a long time. When it comes to dishes, try to wash them as soon as possible, do not let them pile up in the sink. When you are using household items, make sure to place it in the right place as soon as possible. This way your house will look more organized and you will have less work to do at the end of the week.


With all these information, you will be able to create the best core schedule for yourself and your family. You can add and subtract work based on the number of family members, the size of your home and the number of things that need to be done. Remember, be safe and stay at home.
