Give me your daily routines!

[riaketty]

So tuesday we're moving into our new house, and I would like to get into a new routine and stick with it! The problem is, I don't know where to start!
So i'm looking for some routine examples, please! Everything from laundry to exercise to animal care. Maybe I can get some ideas. :

My routine varies a lot because DH works out of town, but in general after DS goes to school, I do some laundry do the breakfast dishes, sweep the kitchen, wipe down the bathrooms etc.

I vacuum twice a week, dust as needed (actually give the kids dust rags as needed). The kids also dust mop the wood floors-they love to play pirates and call it swabbing the deck.

I usually pick up all the clutter (toys) as needed, maybe twice day.

Then I usually spend a few hours a couple days a week working on a room to deep clean & organize it. I hope this helps. I don't have a set schedule, I just go by my mood, and that's how it usually works out.

If you're looking for set routines, check out www.flylady.net She has a routine for everything! lol

I'm not so hot on routines. We just do what needs to be done. The idea is to have the livingroom/kitchen/common rooms clean and looking nice by about 5pm. Then I make dinner. Then, we get the bedrooms/playroom clean and looking nice by TV or bed time, depending on the night's activities. Either ds makes breakfast for himself (and often everyone) cause he's the first up, or he'll wait till dd and I get up. I make breakfast and we eat together if no one is in the middle of some kind of project. Otherwise, we take our food to our projects and eat there. lol If the laundry basket is full when we change for the day, we do laundry. Vacuuming happens every other day or so. Floors get washed when we spill something...the kids love to scrub floors with rags, so they just do the whole floor whenever part of it is noticeably dirty. They do a less than perfect job, so it happening so often makes up the difference. Dishes are washed every afternoon, and clean ones are put away the next morning. I dunno...things just kind of flow. Organized routines are just added pressure for us. We do better when just allowed to move at our own pace.

Everyday:
Wash dishes
Wipe counters, table, stove top
Take out trash
Make beds
One load laundry
Tidy all rooms
Sweep kitchen and living room

Monday: Wash extra laundry loads and all bedding
Tuesday: Kitchen deep cleaning
Wednesday: Bathroom deep cleaning
Thursday: Dust and vacuum/mop all other rooms
Friday: Choose one extra chore - clean out refrigerator, clean inside kitchen cabinets, wash all windows, or wash all walls

For deep cleaning I looked at lists off a popular maid service website to see what they would normally clean. If I can't get to everything I just do what I can and catch the rest first the next week.

the best habit you can get into is to take something with you EVERY TIME you leave a room and put it back where it belongs. I'm doing this all day long, so I never ever ever EVER have clutter anywhere in my house. If I know somethign goes upstairs and I'm walkign past them, I'll set it on the step (etc etc etc)
