What are your daily and weekly routines?

[WI Mama05]

I'm trying to get myself into a set of routines to help keep the house picked up and clean. I have a few going on like trying to load the dishwasher and wipe the counters after every meal and snack and sweeping after every meal if possible, but especially after dinner and BEFORE we go up for bed (otherwise it doesn't get done).

I also like to "sweep" the upstairs rooms in the morning after I get dressed (make beds, put clothes in the cute, close the shower curtain, wipe the counter down.....

What are your routines? I need to incorporate more becuase I'm just not even close here!

Mine are very detailed, so I had just scanned them and posted them in another thread. I need to update them for summer (plus I see I have some specific jobs that I typed in there before I started using sticky notes for those things -- I need to remove them so the lists are a little bit shorter). Mind you, these are just goals. I have just 4 or 5 things that are "must-dos," and I do the rest as I'm able according to what is needed the most. The lists just help me to keep from forgetting to do them altogether. So, I may not have time to swish the bathroom down every morning, but I don't usually go more than a couple of days without doing so. Here they are (sorry they're so big):
