The Routine Has Saved My Sanity

This routine has saved my sanity while managing a household of four. At times cleaning felt overwhelming and left me feeling defeated before I even started, but setting a routine and sectioning the house out day by day has really made a difference. Now not only do I feel accomplished, it also frees up some time for myself and the family for the weekend.

Now please note the dedicated weekday chores are also on top of the daily chores such as laundry, dishes, errands & cooking, but it takes me less than 3 hours a day depending on what needs to be completed.
