I’m with you, Ally. I agree that women often do the majority of the housework in m/f relationships and organizing the work is a huge chore in itself. I’m glad you pointed that out. This article is written for a single or partnered person. If partnered, I think the goal is find equitable, sustainable routines, and that includes acknowledging the work of managing everything. Thanks for your comment.

I get it. It’s hard with everyone home.

I love the idea of taking a day off and dedicating to getting tidied up. Great idea.

Women still do disproportionately more housework across the United States, and this has been amplified during the pandemic. We each cope with the engrained sexism in our households in our own way, that feels right for our family, but setting an example through this article that if you just ‘plan better’ you can get to all of the tasks is not what women should be striving for. We should be striving to share household work in some semblance of equality. Even the mental labour that it takes to make a cleaning schedule should not fall solely on your shoulders. We should be holding men, and our selves, to a higher standard.

When I had a full time job, i’d take off days just to reorganize and clean my apartment. Now that i have two kids, it’s harder because i’m alone but i try to do split chores and do a little bit of each every day of the week

I’ve heard it called “The Ten Minute Shake Down” Great idea!

I set a timer and when it goes off, I’m done. I always am surprised at how much I accomplished in my 10 minutes and it doesn’t overwhelm my fragile psyche. 🙂
