Organize Your Cleaning Schedule! (Daily, Weekly & Monthly Cleaning Routines)

I have tried many times to fit myself into one of the popular cleaning systems and always fail. I have picked up some good habits from them though. Now I just have my own thing going simply by observing my house and noticing how often things need to be done to stay on track. I do a big block of cleaning one day on the weekend and then spend a little time every morning before work maintaining. It's not for everyone but so far it's working for me.

The way I've been functioning is trying to stick to bedroom on monday, bathroom on tuesday, kitchen on wednesday, living room on thursday, friday and saturday are free for all days and meal prep and rest sunday. Laundry, dishes and pet care get picked at daily. Combining cleaning, tidying, organizing, dusting, sanitizing, decluttering on an as needed basis in one space for that scheduled day. I do not want to think about the whole house in one day. 😅

"Side Tracked Home Executives" Pam Young and Peggy Jones, came out when I was a young mother, 40 plus years ago. This is very reminescent, but with a bit more customization perhaps. And it served me well. Three babies in 38 months, cloth diapers, wringer washer, wooden drying rack; organizing was the only way to come out on top.

Thank you, this channel really changed my life. I was never taught on how to properly clean and it felt so overwhelming to learn and it lead me into a depression hole where I was just rot in my mess and don’t know how to start. Thank you, your channel actually save my life ❤

I don't see how you can help, but thanks for offering. I moved into 1/2 the house in the middle of a 3-year illness and did not have any money to pay for help or buy shelves. I am FINALLY well, used my small inheritance to buy shelves and am finally working to find a place for everything. I did no cleaning while bed-ridden so I have some major deep cleaning to do. It feels good to be making progress in the right direction. I like a 3"×5" card file system and have created daily, weekly, etc., tasks as well as one-time tasks that need to be done. My energy is still low, so I focus on priorities and urgent needs. I love the fable of the tortoise winning the race. I still need frequent breaks to rest, but seeing progress, however small or slow, feels GREAT.

I had no idea you had a book, so I will be taking a look at that. I have a chronic illness so my motivation/energy differ on any set day. I am trying my best to get into some good habits and your morning and afternoon videos helped me start to find my routine and I am going to time all the different tasks, so that I know if I can do a 5 min job or I can master the 20 minute job. Thanks for also giving us the permission to do what suits us as individuals - I always feel like I have failed if I can't follow one of the more popular cleaning systems.

I have a friend she cleans her house from top to bottom every day. I struggle and try to keep my house clean and tidy, but struggle with ME/CFS/Fibromyalgia. So as well as physical problems, some days I find it so hard think straight and work out even simple strategies. I need a clone of you.

Thank you so much for this video! Your specific cleaning tips are always super helpful, but I really appreciate videos that help me be more efficient and plan my time better. The more I can “automate”, the less planning/thinking I have to do each day. Given how fast we live these days, saving that mental energy is priceless!

will you please do a organize/unpacking from a move type of video as my dad n I are in the process of unpacking from a move into a new place n putting a daily, weekly n monthly cleaning schedule is such a great idea/plan great motivation

it would be cool to see a video on how to get back into your routine after having to pause it for a bit. I recently fractured my foot and things are sliding a bit; it seems daunting to have to catch back up. Tips on quick ways to get back in order, or suggestions on places to focus on or start would be apricated.

I think that whether you own a home or rent one, you should feel that it’s yours and you need to keep it clean and neat

My big stumbling block is too much stuff, keeping too much. Everything, but paper stuff the most. Clutter makes actual cleaning difficult.

Two huge stumbling blocks for me are 1. Motivation and 2. Just getting started without feeling overwhelmed!

Your suggestion to write ✍🏽 everything down has helped me a great deal. I stay on track and if I stop to do something else, I can go back to where I left off quickly. Having a system in place works for me. Thank you! ☺️🥹 👩🏽 ✨ 💛

Thank you! From a tired, pregnant homemaker with toddlers haha

A big stumbling block for me is that I seem to be ADHD in very specific ways ... and one of those is just friggin' leaving things wherever whenever no matter how conscientious I try to be about it. So I think a daily "put stuff back where they belong, dummy" routine is a good thing for me lol

Thank you for your videos and better ways to do all these tasks.

Just love your videos! I don't always get to the end of other cleaning ones (can be repetitive) but I learn lots throughout yours. Thank you!

This is heaven-sent aaaahhh thank you CMS Team!!! ❤

I also have your first book & and I do read it. It's my go-to mostly.
