If you are a mom working outside the home, you need a very basic housekeeping weekly schedule. If you are a homemaker and care for others, you need the most minimal housekeeping plan, too. Also, if your children are young and need lots of your time and attention, you need to know just the most simplified housekeeping tasks.

I wanted to provide you with a schedule that minimizes the overwhelm you already feel. Housekeeping should be shared, too! So, train your little ones and anyone who lives with you to start pitching in and helping with the household chores.

Doing chores is a discipline that comes naturally to some, while others have to be taught. Children are no different. I this post I address a few ways of how to get your kids to do chores, specifically just starting with their bedrooms. You can add more responsibilities later as they master their bedrooms.

It includes 25 pages of printable calendar pages and checklists to help you declutter every room in your home. You can find that here.

On my site, you’ll also find some more detailed cleaning lists, which I’ll link below. But today, I want to give you a simple housekeeping weekly schedule. I can remember when my twins were first born, and I felt like I could barely stay afloat. During that season I needed a basic housekeeping task list, not a detailed one.

I was already feeling so much “mom guilt” that I knew I didn’t need to add any extra pressure. The main purpose of this schedule is to just maintain a clean home during those seasons when we need some extra sleep or recovery time.

Many of my readers come to my blog looking for help and support to make housework easier, especially during difficult life seasons. Maybe this describes you? If you are a mom of young children, someone caring for a special needs child, or maybe even someone who has a disability, you need basic support and less guilt when it comes to doing the cleaning around your home.

Below is the Housekeeping Weekly Tasks basic schedule. Follow the links below for more detailed cleaning charts for when your energy or schedule allows.
