Manging our homes/ Como administrar nuestro Hogar



I am teaching a class in relief society about home management, so this is what I'm writhing about today.
If you have any ideas, please feel welcome to share them.

When we keep our homes tidy, we feel a sense of pride. We enjoy a peaceful atmosphere at home when it is clean. We can find anything we want whenever we want it.

Housework is important, but it should not take away from more important things.

Having a clean home should not be our main goal; it should be part of our goal to be happy and have happy families. We need time to develop our talents and learn to live the principles of the gospel. When we keep our homes clean without spending too much time on housework, we are free to spend more time in family activities and to do other important things.

To be comfortable, a house has to be functional. The first step in organizing our homes is to decide what the function of each room is. Then we can put what we need in that room in well-organized drawers and cupboards. It takes less time to do a job if we have organized our working conditions first. Sometimes we may not finish everything we have planned for the day. If we do the most important things first, however, we have used our time well.



Estoy preparando una clase para la sociedad de socorro de como manejar mejor nuestro hogar y de eso estoy escribiendo hoy:
un hogar ordenado nos permite sentir un poco de orgullo, por que se goza de un ambiente de paz; ademas podemos encontrar todo lo que deseamos cuando lo queremos. es mucho mas facil mantener un hogar limpio cuando esta organizado.
Necesitamos encontrar la manera de pasar menos tiempo limpiando la casa y pasar mas tiempo con nuestra familia. Los quehaceres de la casa son imporatantes, pero no deben absorbernos de otras cosas mas importantes.
Nuestra meta principal es de ser felices y tener una familia feliz.
Debemos tener una casa que sea practica, osea, que cada cuarto, cada cajon, y cada rincon debe tener un proposito especial.
la regla mas importante es no sacrificar lo que vale la pena por lo que no lo vale; necesitamos decidir que es lo mas importante y hacerlo primero. Si el tiempo no nos alcanza para hacer todo lo planeado; pero si hemos cumplido con lo de mayor importancia, hemos utilizado nuestro tiempo como es debido.

sometimes you just have to let things go, easier said than done coming from an impatient perfectionist.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness, right. I'm afraid I have a ways to go. I am really working on managing my time better, so that I can have time to clean. It has been nice to have the kids old enough to be able to help me. They actually enjoy it, and we have a good time cleaning together.
