Default Do you have a schedule?

Do you have a schedule for cleaning and organizing your home? Like changing the sheets on Monday, doing the laundry on Tuesday and so on? I keep trying to make something like this happen, but I haven't had much luck so far!

No ~ I try to clean the house from top to bottom every weekend but it does not always get done. I change the sheets every weekend too. Laundry is pretty much daily. I wish I only had to do laundry once a week.

It's funny you should mention this because it caused one heck of a doozy fight this morning. My wife did have a schedule but according to her I've messed it up. I just thought she'd like a change of pace but I was wrong. Very wrong.

i try to keep a good schedule both for work and sleep but sometimes there are hectic days. My last one had to be the worst this year so far, running late to a doctors appointment after the power went out when I was sleeping. I battled the after-storm that morning, got lost and ended up 2 hours late only to return to work with a flat tire.

Nope. I just do what I have to, when it has to be done. I would probably be a lot more organized if I did make a schedule, but I would be a lot more stressed too. Schedules and I don't get along well. LOL

No, I wish I did. I do things when I feel like it and so I'll be cleaning like a maniac one day and not clean anything for a week. Not counting dishes of course.

I am pretty unorganized and as much as I would like to say yes, it's no. I make sure the cleaning and the laundry gets done but there is no set schedule.

I would love to get to a point where I could do this, and I think it would make things much easier. Having two small kids, and a work at home job though I just do what I can when I can.

Default Daily/Weekly Routine

Hi,

I do have systems for about everything, it has become a necessity with two three year olds and a work from home job....especially for the tasks I don't like to do...like laundry, empty dishwasher, etc. I have found if I make myself do the things I don't like to do everyday instead of letting it pile up and doing it once a week or even less often...life is much easier. So, I have a morning/evening/daily routine.....every morning I empty the dishwasher and do a load of laundry, etc. I would much rather do one day's worth and have it over in 5 minutes then have to do a week's (or more) worth and spend hours....
This also keeps me from spending all day Saturday cleaning instead of doing something fun with the kids.
I change the sheets every Tuesday, etc...once you get a schedule and start doing it...it becomes habit...then you just do maintenance instead of a full cleaning/organizing overhaul....saves me time and my sanity! Hope this helps!

I don't have a schedule, I do what I can when I can. Right now there is just too much to get done outside of the house. Hopefully in another few months we can afford to get someone in once a week for the deep cleaning.
