My routine changes on weekends, depending on what I have going on, but generally those are my catch-up and lazy days where I sleep a lot and alternate between leisure and chores.

Hygiene/Health

• Brush teeth every morning first thing and floss/brush before laying down to sleep
• shower/bathe/wash once every 48 hours (though I tend to shower every day)
• clip/trim/file nails once a week
• shave/trim/hair care happens on days I have have energy, or if there’s a necessity such as meeting someone in person
• change shirts/undergarments/socks every day
• Not a Doctor, but it’s typically recommended to get a physical every 6 months where you have blood work done, in addition to having a doctor look you over and address any concerns
• Regular teeth cleanings are usually also once every 6 months, depending on your level of needed care
• Take meds when it works best for you or as recommended by your physician, but make sure you’ve either got alarms or reminders to take them, both in calendar and alarm clock form if you need backups

Food/Energy

• I don’t eat a lot, but I’ve come to understand my body needs some form of calories at minimum twice a day in order to feel normal; on good days, I eat 3 meals and a small snack
• In addition to this, water is so-so-so important; I chug a few ounces of water first thing when I wake up, and make sure I’m drinking water regularly throughout the day
• I have a rotation of 2 week’s worth of recipes/food that I eat on a regular basis, and I always make sure I have options that I can choose from for each meal; I make them ahead of time or portioned for easy eating during the week
• I go to the grocery store once a week to make sure I have food for at least 5-8 days, and I use grocery lists to make sure I get everything
• It’s best for me to aim for 6-8 hours of sleep, and also giving myself enough time to actually sleep that amount; for me I need to lay down an hour or two before falling asleep, so my bed time is not the same as fall-asleep-time
• I’ve also found that I sleep better if I work out, so I try to do 30-45 minutes of some form of exercise 3-4 times a week, and always towards the end of the day (usually right after work and before dinner)

Cleanliness

• I spread laundry out across three days each week, and the amount done can vary on activity/season and energy levels
• I change my bedding once a week, and have 2 sets so that some weeks I can just skip the washing but still put fresh stuff on the bed
• Towels are done once a week, and I also rotate these (I have 6 main bath towels, three are in rotation at a time)
• I vacuum every 1-2 weeks, but I really have to have the energy for it
• I clean the bathroom every 7-10 days, and I’ve found that wearing gloves while doing that and dishes makes it so much more tolerable...I’ll also wear a mask if the smells are getting to me
• Dishes should at minimum be collected after dinner and all stuff in the kitchen moved to the sink (from all over the house) and then scraped/rinsed of food if leaving on the counter... I don’t always empty the dishwasher right away, but having them ready to go to be actually washed makes it so much easier on me and avoids pests
• Trash gets taken out when full, make sure bins go out on designated trash pick up days
• Animal stuff is done one weekday and one weekend day, depending on my energy levels
• Plants are watered twice a week, when I remember
• I try to dust, wipe down my desk and chair, tidy my spaces including car, and take home essentials inventory once a month
• Car stuff is usually once a year or by mileage, so using calendar reminder for that works for me (I’m in the US so once a year I get sent an email and letter reminding me about vehicle registration/inspection and/or license/voter registration stuff)
• Owning a house will add a lot to weekly/monthly/yearly stuff, but I cannot chime in on that
• When I feel a certain space in my home is getting out of hand I'll set aside a couple of hours just for organizing/cleaning that area, usually over the weekend

Responsibilities –

• Animals/plants/kids obviously will take a lot of priority and planning, but I’ve found that a digital alarm clock that goes off twice a day specifically works as a great Feed-the-Animals reminder (the alarm is incredibly loud and will not stop until the button is pressed, so I never miss their meals and usually start making tea around that time); I don't have kids and can't speak on that
• Work is also something that needs to be managed, but having a routine during the day while working is beneficial for me, and I utilize a lot of the other things I mentioned already, including keeping a work journal that I spend a couple minutes on at the end of each shift if I’m able, and making sure my work calendar is separate from my personal calendar
• Speaking on alarms and timers, I highly recommend utilizing a timer of some sort, whether it’s on your phone or its own device; I mostly use 45 minute timers when working to make sure I get up and stretch/bathroom/hydrate/check in with myself throughout the day
• Calendars are a wonderful thing, and should be looked at/edited once a week depending on how much you have going on; I use frequent email reminders for my calendar to give me a backup, and if there’s a service I use where reminders are available I have a specific email for that
• Finances for me need to be kept up with with on a bi-weekly and monthly basis, so this looks like checking on accounts, paying bills, scheduling payments, checking on recurring renewals/what’s expiring (licenses/insurance), moving money around, planning for large expenses that may be quarterly or yearly, and if needed filing taxes and required paperwork.
