In our modern day society I am not sure if the single daily tasks above fits in with how we run our homes BUT I do know that routines and how we use them in our home can lead to a far more pleasant and well run home.
I have planned routines for Homeschooling, for chores for morning and evening times and also for private devotionals and craft times. Sometimes just the creation of these routines helps me to focus on my tasks and sets out what are really the priorities for me and the running order of our home.
I also know that I am a happier and more contented person to have around when a routine is going smoothly. Unfortunately it seems my life revolves around creating new routines for our family and the situations we find our selves in.
However the fact that we constantly come back to a routine of one sort or another and that our home runs better for that proves the fact that in our home at least routines are a SIMPLE PLEASURE that actually makes our life more SIMPLE AND PLEASURABLE

Routines are a good thing. It keeps the household focus and running a bit more smoothly.

I love my routines, I agree with you. Makes me a happier person and easier to be around. It seems to "unclutter" my mind.
Great simple pleasure.

Your so right routines are key to homes running smoothly!
If I could do Elise's first year over again, it would be ROUTINE ROUTINE ROUTINE!! :>
I have to agree that routines are a good thing....but so many days I find myself flying by the seat of my pants.
I love how this surprised me, Gae. And I couldn't agree more. Routines are wonderful. When my daughter was small, we lived next door to a family who lived by routines. I used to envy them a little, since my life consisted of living by a firefighter's routine, which was a bit wacky at times. Routines definitely make life more simple.
Ah yes, the beauty that ordinary life beholds in a rhythm! Great post:-) Don't forget to email me your address...I have your winning book ready to go!
