​What is a daily routine?  A routine is a regular course of procedure. Whether you are a mom who likes a flexible checklist or a mom who likes a more structured schedule, the daily tasks arranged in an order that saves time and steps just makes sense. Here is my daily routine, how it works, and resources (free printable).

Renee's Daily Routine

There are certain tasks that need completed daily -these go into my daily routine.  The secret to a smart routine is to place your tasks in an order that saves you time and steps.  Also, try to leave a trail of neatness behind you. Here's what I normally do.

Morning Routine

• Get up and make bed.  (2 minutes)
• Quiet time.  (10 minutes)
• Exercise.  (15 minutes)
• Get gorgeous.  (20 minutes)
• Start laundry.  (1 minutes)
• Meal prep./thaw meat.  (10 minutes)
• Serve breakfast.  (2 minutes)

​Total time:  60 minutes

Evening Routine

• Start Robot Sweeper (1 minute)
• Dry laundry.  (1 minutes)
• Tidy up.  (10 minutes)
• Take out the trash.  (3 minutes)
• Do dishes. (10 minutes)
• Cook dinner.  (20 minutes)
• Daily email, mail, and phone calls. (10 minutes)
• Fold & put away dry clothes.  (5 minutes)

​Total time:  60 minutes

A place to write it in the book.

How it Works

1. I placed my Daily Routine Tracker into a fridge file. 
   
2. With a dry erase marker, I give myself one check at the bottom of the page {where it says month}. 
   
3. ​I can see my daily progress throughout the month, and might possibly give myself a little reward.

Tip!  Complete your daily routine for one month to build a healthy home habit.

Remember, a daily routine puts the tasks that need completed daily into an order that saves you time and steps.  Tweak and improve your daily routine over time by writing it down, posting it, and being mindful of efficiency. 

• What part of your daily routine do you need to tweak? 
• What part is working great? 
• What part brings you joy (such as coffee on the patio)?

​I personally believe that bringing joy to routines is important.
