I like to reserve my weekends for getting out of the house and spending quality time with my family. I do not want to be cleaning or doing laundry on a Saturday. To break up the chores and laundry, I created a weekly household schedule. I do laundry on Mondays because it is after the weekend and it is nice to have fresh laundry at the beginning of the week and on Thursdays so I don't have to do laundry on the weekend. I wash bedding on Tuesdays, along with cleaning the bedrooms. Here is how I break up my week:
Monday: Laundry, Clean bathrooms, Do bills, Meals for the week (I look at my menu for the week to figure out if and when I need to thaw anything or bake anything ahead of time)
Tuesday: Clean bedrooms (wash bedding), Cut coupons, Balance checkbook
Wednesday: Clean kitchen, Clean dining room, Make next week's menu
Thursday: Laundry, Grocery list, Clean living room
Friday: Clean staircase, Do anything that didn't get done during week
Grocery shopping gets done either on Friday nights or during the weekend
If there is spare time, I like to tackle a bigger project by breaking it up through the week and add it to my to do list for the week. A recent example is our master bedroom. It got bombarded with junk while we are finishing our basement. I took a little time each day to get it decluttered and also took time to straighten up dresser drawers and the closet.
