The New Clean Regime

Some folks have asked when I've had a productive day, how I've been able to be productive. I've started a new clean regime and I thought I would share it, because so far it is going well. It's very simple:

Monday = Mealday, the day I cook anything needed for the week (note that I attempt to have 3 months of main courses cooked in advance, but if I'm behind, this is a good day to catch up, and if I'm not behind, it's the day to prepare any side dishes needed for the week)
Tuesday = Toiletday, the day to clean the bathroom (I've also added towels and sheets to this day so that I cut down the number of loads needed to run in the wash in a single day)
Wednesday = Washday, the day of laundry (includes washing, folding, and ironing)
Thursday = Wildcard (for catching up or resting)
Friday = Floorday, the day I vaccuum, sweep, wash rugs and dog bedding, and dust
Saturday = Storeday, the day of grocery shopping (I also call this Caturday because it's the day I clean the catbox)

Other than this list, I just remember "Do the dishes daily." Other tasks done daily include putting away all of Claire's toys and making the beds. Claire enjoys watching me at my tasks and "helping". She particularly likes folding laundry (pulling down stacks of towels and such), and anything that involves wiping a surface with a towel, wet or dry.

Good luck with your own clean regime! :)
