Do you have a set time you put aside each day for cleaning and tidying?

Not really. Because there is always something going on and so many people in the house, it’s a constant activity throughout the day. It’s almost like I’m never not cleaning lol. But as the kids get older, they’ll have more responsibilities which will free up my time. So, this is just temporary.

No, not necessarily. I take the time to clean when my room is too messy, but I don’t clean everyday. I probably should, but I just get so busy.

I try to clean an tidy as soon as I wake up. It helps me start my day feeling productive. If I need to, I’ll clean before I go to bed

At the moment, no. With a newborn, you work around their sleep and awake times to get your tasks done. I try to stay organized with my time, and have a plan for when I’ll try to get it done, or how I’ll use my time, but I don’t set those tasks in stone. If the baby is sleeping lightly, I’ll reconsider my cleaning/tidying for a different time. Nevertheless, I find a time to tidy up before bed so that I can have a proper start to my next day.

No.. I feel much pressure if I put some timer to do my daily tasks (except for studying and reading, in which I need to set a timer so I can’t get lost and to help me to re-charge my energy again and that’s by dividing these mental tasks into smaller one ). However, I prefer to do the cleaning and tidying in fixed and systematic steps, and with time you will get use to it.

While I don’t actively put time aside, I do try and clean sometime before bed. Therefore I can tidy up from the day and I know I probably won’t make anymore mess 😉

Yes at night before bed for light cleanup. Dishes before I take a take a shower before bed. Dishes. Shower. Light clean. Bed. Then it feels like doing chores is self-care than a chore. Ya feel?

In the morning the bathroom is reorganized. After dinner the cookware and kitchen counters are cleaned. After cleaning the kitchen laundry is started.

I like to tidy everything up either right before I go to sleep or as soon as I wake up, it just helps to wake up to a clean environment ready for the day

I try and tidy up as I go but I do allow myself some time in the evening to put everything away so I wake up in a tidy space.
