Free Printable: Weekly Housekeeping, Exercise and Bible Memory Verse Planner

I made something! And I’m sharing it with you because what is the point of making something useful if you keep it to yourself?

This is a weekly planner I designed for myself after realising that my good intentions about housekeeping, exercise, and memorising scripture were all floating around in my head and none of them were actually happening. Writing things down, it turns out, is basically magic.

What’s on the planner

Right-click and save, or click to open in a new tab and print from there.

The planner has four sections:

  1. Weekly Housekeeping Tasks — a simple grid with days of the week across the top and your regular tasks down the side. I have things like “wipe kitchen benches,” “vacuum main living areas,” and “clean bathrooms” on mine. Nothing fancy, everything necessary. If you find the housekeeping section useful, you might also want to work through these quick decluttering tips for overwhelmed mums to get on top of the clutter before you tackle the cleaning routine.
  2. Exercise Log — space to record what you did and for how long, each day of the week. I find that even writing “walked to school and back” feels like an achievement worth noting.
  3. Bible Memory Verse — one verse for the week, written out at the top of the page where you’ll see it often. There is something about writing a verse by hand that helps it stick in a way that reading alone doesn’t. If you’re looking for verses to start with, this collection of Bible verses for anxiety and worry includes ten passages worth committing to memory.
  4. Notes — a small catch-all section for the things that don’t fit anywhere else.

How I use it

I print a new one each Sunday evening and spend about five minutes filling in the memory verse and any known tasks for the week. Then I stick it on the fridge where I’ll actually see it.

On Sunday night I also take stock of the previous week — what got done, what didn’t, and whether I’m being realistic about what I can actually achieve in a week with children underfoot. A weekly reset checklist for mums can be a helpful companion to this planner if you want a more structured way to close out the week and prepare for the next one.

Spoiler: the answer is usually “less than I planned, more than I feared.”

I hope this is useful for you! If you print it and use it, I’d love to hear how it goes — leave a comment below.

And if you’d like to share it, please link back to this post rather than uploading the file yourself. Thank you!
