An Action Inquiry

By introducing a time management system, can household chores become less time consuming?

My three sub questions

Which chores consume the most time?

By changing my sleep patterns, will I increase my energy and motivation levels?

Are there specific chores that can be reduced in duration by proactive measures?

Cycle 1 - Implementation

Record all my chores for a 3 week period.

Use a speadsheet to analyse data.

Use Kolb's Learning Cycle to Plan Do Review.

Draw conclusions to implement Cycle 2.

Cycle 1 - Conclusion

The data collection went well.

A spreadsheet helped to formulate conclusions.

I spend about 20 minutes a day just loading and folding washing. Drying times are not included.

Cycle 2 - Implementation

Ask the children if they would like to participate

Buy two washing baskets one for each child.

Teach the children how to use the washing machine safely.

Things did not go as planned...

Meanwhile whilst Mum is at work....

Kids busy with their friends.....

Kids decided to help by cleaning their bedrooms!......

Cycle 2 - Conclusion

The children need more supervision.

Too many governing variables influencing this research during this particular time due to school holidays.

This task needs more planning and structure.
