Running a household can be done well with a schedule.
It is best when it finds its own rhythm.
Activities and requirements are balanced, not forced into time periods.
I am enjoying finding the rhythm of my household.
Even with just two of us living here, instead of a household with many children and activities, an ideal rhythm is emerging.
As I learn to incorporate new things, such as canning and gardening, and simplify others, the balance of thought all goes to things that I love.
I find time to do them which is not hurried time.
It is fine if I do them for a short or a long time.
It is fine if I do things in segments.
I have very few needs, and these never delay what I love to do.
As I experience the joy of learning new things, and learn to incorporate small steps more and more naturally, the rhythm shifts a bit here and a bit there.
Moving away from the idea of back to back scheduling is completely different from the way Western society is run.
Finding a balanced rhythm for living is gentle, consistent, relaxing, and effective.
