Between the morning rush, a full day of work, after-school activities, and bedtime routines, working moms often feel like they’re running on fumes. Cleaning? It’s the last thing on your to-do list. But, as someone who juggles work, kids, and a business, I get it. A few strategic routines can keep your home looking tidy without eating into your precious “me time.” These tips are designed to fit into even the busiest schedules—because let’s face it, we’re all short on time.
Morning Routine: 20 Minutes to Tidy
Start the day with a quick sweep of your main living areas. Load the dishwasher, wipe down counters, and put away anything out of place. Focus on high-traffic areas like the kitchen and living room. This small effort can make your home feel instantly calmer and more organized, even if you’re rushing out the door.
After-Work Routine: Prioritize High-Impact Tasks
When you get home, focus on two tasks that will make the biggest difference. Maybe it’s vacuuming the floors to get rid of crumbs or folding the laundry that’s been haunting you all week. You can maintain a sense of order by prioritizing high-impact tasks without exhausting yourself.
Before Bed: Reset Your Space
End your day with a five-minute reset. Put toys back in their bins, straighten up the pillows, and clear off the dining table. A clean space at night means a fresh start in the morning. Plus, you’ll sleep better knowing you’re not waking up to yesterday’s mess.
Leverage Your Kids’ Help
Got school-aged kids? Put them to work! Assign small tasks like wiping down bathroom counters, sweeping the kitchen floor, or setting the table. It’s not child labor—it’s character building. Plus, it’s one less thing you have to do.
Batch Cleaning Tasks
If you’re a working mom, batch cleaning can be your best friend. Dedicate specific days to certain tasks. For example, tackle all laundry on Wednesdays and deep clean bathrooms on Saturdays. This focused approach keeps you from feeling like you’re constantly cleaning.
