EXECUTIVE HOUSEKEEPING: The Business of Managing Your Home

by Auren Uris ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 18, 1976

Systems analysis with broom and dustmop. Uris, a management expert who's authored over twenty books on rationalizing work in the office, now plants his ""corporate techniques"" in your cozy cottage, efficiency apartment or pad. Under such rubrics as ""Planning and Scheduling,"" ""Recruiting and Hiring,"" ""Record-Keeping and Problem-Solving,"" Uris suggests ways in which daily chores can be consolidated, delegated and routinized; he claims that a typical homemaker's work time--50 hours/week--can be halved. Ask yourself: Just how clean is clean? Otherwise, Uris covers budgeting, home safety and burglar-proofing. You should have learned most of these things from your mother. And you could spend most of those liberated minutes filling in the graphs, charts, evaluations and checklists Uris inserts to expand this to executive size.
