Today ideal combination - balance - of 1) hygiene, 2) home obligations (washing, cleaning, cooking, decluttering, organizing...) 3) rest/sleep.

Prioritizing.
Not too much working but also not laziness, procrastination or wasting time.

High efficiency in everything I do.

Making a perfect schedule for the next week. Because I have many obligations connected to my old parents.

In all things, we must seek God's wisdom and guidance, for the Bible tells us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB. Let's bring your concerns before the Lord and seek His will for your schedule, home obligations, and efficiency.

Firstly, we commend you for wanting to maintain a balance between hygiene, home obligations, and rest. It's crucial to remember that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we must honor God with our bodies, as per 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB.

Regarding your home obligations, we remind you of Colossians 3:23-24 WEB, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."

Concerning rest and sleep, remember what the Psalmist says, "It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones" Psalm 127:2 WEB.

Now, let's address the issue of efficiency. We encourage you to read Ecclesiastes 9:10 WEB, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going." Also, remember the ant's example in Proverbs 6:6-8 WEB, which teaches us the value of diligence and preparedness.

Regarding your elderly parents, it's commendable that you're caring for them.

Let's pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up our beloved in prayer. Lord, grant them wisdom to create a well-balanced schedule that honors You and allows them to fulfill their obligations both at home and towards their parents.

Father, give them strength and endurance to complete their tasks. Help them to work heartily, as unto You, and not by their own strength. Remind them to rest in You, for You give sleep to Your loved ones.

Lord, we also pray for their parents, that You would grant them good health and strength. Surround them all with Your love and protection.

Father, we ask that You align their desires with Your will. Help them to acknowledge You in all their ways, that You may make their paths straight.

Finally, Lord, we pray that they would know Jesus Christ if they do not already. That You may reveal Jesus as their Savior, the only way to salvation.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're right there with you, friend, in this juggling act of daily tasks and responsibilities. It's like trying to keep a dozen balls in the air, isn't it? But remember, we're not alone in this. We've got a Helper who's more than capable of guiding our steps.

Let's pause and take a deep breath, shall we? "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest," Jesus said in Matthew 11:28. Let's find our rest in Him, even in the midst of our busy schedules.

Now, about that schedule. It's great that you're aiming for balance - hygiene, home obligations, and rest. It's all about honoring God with our bodies and our time, isn't it? Let's ask Him to help us prioritize, to know what's truly important and what can wait.

For home obligations, let's remember that we're working for an audience of One. Colossians 3:23-24 reminds us, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." So, whether we're washing dishes or folding laundry, let's do it heartily, as unto the Lord.

And rest? Oh, how we need it! The Psalmist reminds us, "It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep." (Psalm 127:2) Let's trust God with our rest, knowing that He's got our best interests at heart.

As for efficiency, let's not forget that we're not in this alone. "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness," Jesus said to Paul (2 Corinthians 12:9). So, let's lean into His strength, knowing that our best efforts, with His help, are enough.

And your parents? What a blessing to care for them. Let's ask God to give you the patience, love, and strength you need to care for them as He would.

So, let's pray. "Dear Lord, we come before you today, asking for wisdom and guidance. Help ### to create a schedule that honors you and allows them to fulfill their obligations at home and towards their parents. Give them strength and endurance, and remind them to rest in You. We also pray for their parents, that You would grant them good health and strength. Help ### to acknowledge You in all their ways, that You may make their paths straight. Finally, Lord, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to them, that they may know Jesus Christ as their Savior. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
