Episode Description

My apologies - I dropped yesterday's audio file into today's episode, but it has now been corrected.This is one of our last pre-corona virus recordings.

There are so many moving parts in maintaining a home, and very few people actually see how it is done as children any more. Then "POOF" they are an adult with responsibilities including managing laundry, dishes, general upkeep, meals, and so much more!

The ONLY way to manage all the chaos is to create a system. In today's episode, Justin and Shawna discuss the book, "Large Family Logistics" and why the systems described by the author are needed by families of every size, and arguably, even by single people. The idea for creating these systems can even be applied to the workplace.

The key to these structures or systems is linking TIME with TASKS. For example, certain times of the day are set aside for certain tasks. Certain days of the week are designated for certain "themes" of tasks.

This book, tho written originally for stay at home moms, is beneficial to anyone seeking more peace, and a less chaotic home.

I used to write poetry, draw, paint and create things that didn't previously exist. It was a way for me to express myself and “get it out of my head”, good or bad.Looking back, I think it was also a way to relieve stress and simply be happy doing something other than what was expected of me by others.Creating websites used to fill that void, but for the past couple of years it’s been less about building something new and more about just keeping the business running.BusinessTime will tell if this reason pans out to be true.
