How to make your weekly plan a game changer

From chaos to clarity – step by step with a system (and a bit of color)

Organizing your household can sometimes sound like an endless to-do list and not much fun. But it doesn't have to be! With a sensible weekly schedule , you create structure, manage all your tasks, and at the same time, have more time for the good things in life. And the best part: With a few clever tricks (and colorful sticky dots, of course 😉), organizing your household suddenly becomes easy, clear, and even a little bit creative.

Why a weekly household plan makes sense

In everyday life, things can easily get lost—whether it's laundry, shopping, or taking out the trash. With a weekly schedule, you and your family can create a clear overview :
🟡 Everyone knows who does what and when
🟠 Tasks are distributed fairly
🔴 You can see at a glance what has been done
🟣 There is more room for leisure

How to create your weekly household plan

1. Collect all tasks

From emptying the dishwasher to vacuuming to doing your weekly shopping, make a list of all your regular tasks.

2. Distribute the tasks

Who does what? Whether it's your partner, your children, or your roommates—everyone should have a defined role.

3. Plan realistically

It's better to do less per day and be consistent. An overloaded schedule will only lead to frustration.

4. Use colors & dots

Colors help tremendously with clarity. Each person or category (e.g., kitchen, bathroom, laundry) gets its own color. Sticky dots make the distribution visible and let you easily "check off" tasks.

5. Schedule me-time

Housework is important—but so is relaxation. So, include free time, breaks, and short breaks in your schedule.

Example of a weekly household plan

🟡 Monday: Do laundry, clean the kitchen

🟠 Tuesday: Shopping, cleaning the bathroom

🔴 Wednesday: Take out the trash, vacuum

🟣 Thursday: Make the beds, water the plants

🔵 Friday: Check the fridge, tidy up the living room

🟢 Saturday: Big shopping, gardening

🟤 Sunday: Break!
