Tips to Homesteading

Posts Tagged ‘task’

On a homestead, there is an endless list of things to accomplish. Some tasks are easily taken care of to completion in an afternoon, such as hanging out, folding and putting away laundry. Other tasks take much longer, such as putting in the garden. Often most tasks run in tandem and it is easy to get overwhelmed, especially if you are new to homesteading.  Don’t get under a giant to-do list without some sense of accomplishment each day.

Even if we have several tasks ‘in the works’ at the same time, it is important to have that sense of completion at the end of each day. So whatever you have to do, even if it takes a long time (and many days) to get some of them done, try to give yourself and your family that sense of ‘done’ at the end of a day.

So on the ‘to-do’ list, be sure some tasks don’t go into tomorrow. Tie up one long-term task each day and get at least one short-term task done as well. All the others will end up on the ‘done’ list soon enough!

Now…making that ’start’ list is another story!!
