How to prepare for the Sabbath+ why keep it

I have posted about ways to keep the Sabbath Holy, but preparing for it is another story! However, why are most schools and businesses closed both Saturdays and Sundays (or Saturdays are a partial day)? Because Saturday is the day before the recognized Sabbath and Saturday is the day to prepare for it. If you don't have such days off, maybe Tuesday could be your preparation day and Wednesday could be your Sabbath, if you have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off. Also, as I have found, keeping the Sabbath is very difficult when you haven't prepared for it. Here are some ideas on how to do so (assuming Sundays are your Sabbath):
Monday:
After school/work, everyone decides what chores should be done and who should do what. The youngest kids would have the easiest work and the oldest kids would have harder ones.
Tues: After school/work, everyone does one chore. Let's say Mom, Dad, 9 year-old Samuel and 6 year-old Emily make up a household. Mom could sweep and mom the kitchen, Dad could vacuum, and each kid could clean up their room. (The kids should do their homework first.)
This would continue every day. On Saturday, necessary errands (such as grocery shopping) could be ran by one parent and one kid while one parent and kid finished any necessary chores. If the house is clean and homework is done, errands could be split among two people to save time.

WHY KEEP THE SABBATH HOLY?
Several reasons!

1. We are commanded to do so! For God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh!
2. We can slow down and actually focus on God. We might read a few bible verses a day and listen to Christian channels on the radio on the way to and from work, but Sunday can be a day where we just relax and work on our relationship with God.
3. You build relationships with your friends and family. Not only can you connect with your household members more, but you have time to write that letter to your Grandma in Wisconsin or to call your cousins in Oklahoma. Wish you could see them more often? Even if you can't see them, at least you can connect with them more often, and the Sabbath gives you time to do so!
4. You might get more done during the week. Want to take a nap instead of doing those Saturday chores? Want to take a long lunch that will result in less productivity at work? Sunday is the time to take such breaks. You can think, "I'll have the time soon enough. I'll get this done now and relax on Sunday".
