Chances are, many of the items you wrote down on your Task List are not automatic for you.  If they were, you probably wouldn’t be here.  Wouldn’t it be nice, though, if your daily chores, like vacuuming and dishes and laundry (if you want to do it every day; I do) were automatic?  They’d go faster, you’d notice them less, and they’d be over before you knew it so you could get on with the rest of your day.  Sound good?  Then let’s add those daily chores to our routines.

Look over your master task list and locate all the chores you marked as Daily.  Remember, this is how often you want to be doing the task, not how often you’re already (not) doing it.  Now compare this set of tasks to your routines and find a place for each of them.  You will only be acting on one new routine item at a time, so don’t feel overwhelmed at the number of additions you’re making today.

If you want to add a whole new routine for these cleaning items, go for it.  Or, take one or two to add to each of your existing routines.  Whichever works for you, as long as – eventually – everything is getting done every day.   Also remember that your daily routines may vary slightly based on your weekly plan, and take that into account.  I don’t expect that would happen as often with cleaning tasks as with personal, as the dusting doesn’t really care whether you’re leaving the house or not, but I’ll not rule out the possibility.
