TasklingA cleaning schedule for people who hate cleaning
Skip the big cleaning days. Do a 10 minute reset each day, give each weekday one small focus area, and let everything else wait. Small and regular beats big and rare.
The idea
Big cleaning sessions are easy to put off and exhausting when they happen. Tiny, regular resets keep things livable with far less effort.
The daily 10 minute reset
- Dishes in the dishwasher or washed
- Clear one surface
- Put away anything on the floor
- Take out the trash if it is full
One focus per weekday (15 minutes)
| Day | Focus |
|---|---|
| Monday | Kitchen counters and stovetop |
| Tuesday | Bathroom sink and toilet |
| Wednesday | Vacuum the main room |
| Thursday | Laundry, wash and put away |
| Friday | Fridge clear out before shopping |
| Weekend | Bedding every other week, otherwise rest |
Use a timerSet 10 minutes and stop when it rings, even mid task. Knowing there is an end makes starting much easier.
In Taskling
Add the daily reset as a repeating task in the Evening, and each weekday focus as a repeating task on its day. Use the focus timer for the 10 minutes, and enjoy the confetti.
