getting into organization

A while ago I decided I was going to get organized. I had, had it with a life of fly by my seat and only do what had to be done. At that point I decided to come up with a chore chart for myself and my kids. The kids was a super easy thing to come up with. I went to handipoints. It was super easy to set up their charts. It seams to work for us. I have been using it for some time now. I made my own chart for myself but I only stuck with it for awhile and then I started slacking off and going back to my own way of cleaning. The problem is when I have a set chart to go by I spend way less time cleaning and my house is always clean. So why don't I stick with it.
Today I have decided starting Monday I am going back to my old ways of a chore chart but I am putting in a few new updates. Like each person gets a laundry day. (I get so overwhelmed with laundry) Each day a bedroom is cleaned I only wash their bedding instead of doing it all in 1 day. I am hoping this works. I think the 1st week will be the worst and after that it will be smooth sailing.
I broke it down in days. I am going to print each day on a page and put it in a binder and just follow it everyday. NO EXCUSES. I need to be held accountable for this.
So here is my chore chart. Enjoy...My house isn't small by any means. We have a total of 5 bedrooms, 2 offices, 2 1/2 baths, a playroom,a full basement, a huge living room and kitchen, along with a laundry room that is never clean.
