Daily Discipline? Does a homemaker even need that? You ponder.

People consider homemaking a worthless role, and homemakers – idle humans who do nothing but binge-watch Netflix and cuddle up on the couch!

But you know how fulfilling it is. And that homemakers have so many duties and responsibilities to minister.

To master domestic art discipline is essential.

What is self-discipline?

According to dictionary.cambridge.org self-discipline means the ability to make yourself do things you know you should do even when you do not want to.

As explained by Merriam-webster.com self-discipline is the correction or regulation of oneself for the sake of improvement.

Now, forget about being strict and disciplining yourself. We’re not going to complicate things here.

Remember you ought to serve specific duties when determining to be a homemaker.

Valuing your duties and achieving significant tasks (each day) is what we’re considering discipline here.

Today we’ll be concentrating on the mere essential duties of homemaking.

Even if you get nothing more done, these tasks ensure your home is in shipshape order.

7 DAILY DISCIPLINES OF A HOMEMAKER

1. Make the bed:

This one comes first because the bedroom is where your day begins.

It is the last place you come to unwind, restore peace, and be at ease at the end of the day.

Thus, it must be your safe haven.

A freshly made bed can put you in a good mood and make the entire bedroom nice and neat.

It’s a subtle way to begin your day on the right foot.

2. Take a shower:

I won’t stress much about getting dressed fully. Still, tidiness is necessary.

A quick shower is essential for hygiene and cleanliness since we tend to several nasty tasks throughout the day.

Scouring the toilet, dealing with pet litter, taking the trash out, etc. Plus, the dirt, oil, and sweat from handwashing dishes make getting cleaned necessary.

3. Spend time with God:

Dwelling in God’s words is a must to lead a meaningful life.

You’ll nowhere find wisdom and guidance than as written in our sacred scriptures.

Ask God for help. The sagacity to lead you through your day-to-day life is of greater significance.

We come across so many good and bad situations every day.

Plenty of times, we don’t understand how to address the case. At those times, God’s teachings guide us to the right path.

4. Fix meals:

Making all 4 (breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner) meals can be practicable for homemakers. But challenging for breadwinners.

Ensuring your family has something to eat at the start and end of the day takes the load off the mind.

As a homemaker, preparing and serving timely meals is your responsibility.

Arranging something for breakfast and dinner in the early hours will put your mind at ease all day.

5. Do a load of laundry:

As I say, whether you have a large family or a small one, doing one load of laundry a few times a week will save a day of work on the weekend.

Stay-at-home, as well as work-at-home moms, will find it worthwhile.

Working mommies may need an alternative solution. You can find it in this post.

Simply one load every morning can leave you feeling accomplished throughout the day.

6. Tidy up before bed:

Tackle today’s mess today.

Run the dishwasher/handwash dishes. Wipe down the countertops. Quick scrub sink.

Call an after-dinner 10-minute house pick-up challenge for your family.

Let everyone be involved. Yes, the little ones can contribute too.

Sweep/vacuum.

Get everything in order before concluding the day.

7. Prep up for the next day:

Review the next day’s menu plan and prep as much as possible.

Get the most preparation done beforehand.

While doing this, see if you can fix something for breakfast.

Make sure – dirty washing is sorted and put in the washer. If anything needs pre-treatment. Also, if the kitchen is clean and set up for the next day.

Set the breakfast table.

This will allow you to begin and end your day stress-free.

So those were my daily disciplines for every homemaker.

These daily disciplines ensure your home functions smoothly and help you be a better homemaker.

I’m reassured! As a non-working homemaker I don’t always feel I’m doing a great job, but I pretty much can check off your list! One thing, though – spending time with God ought to be at the top!! Bless you!

I see ya working hard. One thing I know is anyone trying to learn about homemaking is willing to put in more effort and striving to do better as a homemaker.
