What's your cadence for maintenance? Is there anything you think you should be doing more frequently? Is there anything you do extra proactively because you don't like seeing it left undone?

I'm also curious about how much time you spend taking care of your home and how that balances with the rest of your personal life, and how you share the load with other people you live with.

So, I'm SINK, so my routine is probably "light."

Dishes are done ~~usually~~ daily, but I live alone, so it's like... My breakfast mug and then whatever dinner is. I usually do it in the morning while I'm waiting for the water to boil.

I vacuum once every 1-2 weeks depending on the state of the carpet. (I got outside often and sometimes track things in. Also have a long haired cat). I also don't like bugs, and my carpet is light. The little dots make me anxious.

I wash the bathroom about once a month, but will spot treatments here and there. (like wiping something down whole brushing my teeth, stuff like that).

And swifter the kitchen floor whenever it seems gross. I do laundry when I run out of underwear.

Littler box is usually every day, though I can sometimes skip a day. Usually when I do that, I'm in "animal mode," so that'll prompt me to refill bird feeders as well.

I am awful when it comes to my bedding. I hate doing it for whatever reason.

I hate doing my bedding too.

Actually I don't even hate it, I just never think of it. It never seems to force me to think about it like other dirty things do.

Same. I don't think of it as "dirty" like I do everything else. Even though it's just as dirty 😂
