Routines have saved my sanity.
And my houseplants.
So, today being Monday, my weekly routine chore is:
Water houseplants.
My daily routine chore is: fold laundry and I have loads at home just awaiting. I am at work right now doing my work routines.
My declutter/scrub chores for today are: clean out third drawer in kitchen, and scrub wall in second bathroom (including light fixture).
I am getting off work at 5, will go home and make dinner (beef stroganoff) and then head to the gym. After the gym, I'll do my scrubbing and decluttering.

Things that need to be done this week
I have a whole lot to do around the house to get it cleaned up and decluttered. I follow FlyLady, or at least I use her principles (I don't read her stuff much, it just seems like she's one walking advertisement).
Anyway, her way makes so much sense to me: babysteps.
I have been struggling with deep cleaning and decluttering the kitchen. So here is what needs to be done:
Declutter and clean treat drawer
declutter and clean third drawer
declutter and clean fourth drawer
declutter and clean top shelf of pots and pans
declutter and clean bottom shelf of pots and pans
declutter and clean junk drawer
declutter and clean plastics shelf
declutter and clean bottom shelf
declutter and clean under sink (includes washing out trash can)
declutter and clean vitamin shelf, repaper
declutter and clean second shelf, repaper
declutter and clean plate shelf, repaper
I really need to clean out the second bath while DD's gone. I have already washed one wall and scrubbed the tub area really good.
So this needs to be done:
Wash other wall in bathroom
clean out eight drawers, one at a time
clean out under sink
clean out trash can
scrub floor
wash light fixture
I am going to work on things 15 minutes at a time. I can do one drawer in the kitchen and one drawer in the bathroom in that time.
After the bathroom's done, I'm going to do the laundry area. There are two cabinets with two shelves each. I need to make some serious room for my stock pile here. And then I need to wash the walls.
When the laundry area's done, I will have to tackle the office and that's going to take some serious work.
Then I can declutter the family room and bonus room, which hopefully won't take too much time because I keep up with them except for the hot spots.
Onward.
