Daily Routine

The final housework comes in the form of daily routines: Morning, Afternoon, and Bedtime Routines.

Morning Routine- usually 7am - 8am (Please note I am NOT a morning person, therefore I try to keep my morning routine as light as possible):
  • Quiet Time
  • Breakfast
  • Take Vitamins
  • Get dressed for day
  • Get kids dressed
  • Dishwasher emptied and refilled
  • Clothes in dryer
  • Crockpot turned on (if applicable)
  • Kitchen and Bathroom counters wiped down

Afternoon Routine- usually take 1-2 hours (this is done during rest time for boys or after work on days I work)

  • Zone Work (Flylady says to spend no more then 15 minutes on this)
  • Day Tasks
  • Fold laundry
  • Prepare Dinner
  • Straighten up all rooms
  • Return phone calls and check emails

Bedtime Routine- this starts after supper

  • Clean up supper
  • Pack lunches, backpack and diaper bag for next day (only on work days)
  • Start Dishwasher
  • Boys bathtime
  • Start load of laundry (I do one load a day and alternate between permanent press and regular- but NEVER take laundry advice from me- I am horrible!!!)
  • Wipe down toilet (this is done everyday because I live with 3 boys), sink, counters and Spray Shower Cleaner
  • Bedtime routine with boys
  • Gather up stuff for next day ex: phone, planner, etc.
  • Lay out clothes for next day (work days only- I totally wing it on days I am home:)
  • Plan for next day
  • Reading time

  1. You wipe down counters every day??? Straighten up rooms every day??? I'm getting worried. There isn't enough energy in the world for me to do all of this.

  2. Wiping counters takes 5 seconds.
    Calm down- remember I recognized my DRS years ago and implemented all "my plans" slowly over the last 8.5 years. It just seems overwhelming right now because you are getting this all at once.
    Thanks for your comments- love ya!
    PS I don't like that there is no spell check on this comment section
