Routines for a Calmer, Cleaner Life

Our Daily Routines are for anyone looking to -Reduce Stress, Declutter, and Stay on Track

These routines are a guide to help you feel grounded and prepared. You don’t need to do every single step — adjust them to suit your beliefs, energy levels, mobility, and life circumstances.

Some days you’ll do more, some less — both are okay.

Do what you can, and don’t push yourself at the expense of your health or well-being.

If you are very overwhelmed with clutter, focus on only these routines:

Daily

-Throw out 1 piece of trash
-Put 1 item you don’t need into a donation bag/box near the door

 -Wash dishes for 5 minutes or run the dishwasher


Bi-Weekly

-Take out all trash and recycling to the curb or your buildings waste room
-Drop off the donation bag/box

Remember to use the one in, one out rule. Every time you decide not to bring something home, you’re giving yourself more space, more freedom, and less stress to deal with later.

If you're a parent or caregiver, you'll need to help everyone you're caring for with these routines too.


For some, the long-term goal may be to help them learn to do these tasks on their own as they grow and gain skills. 


For others, it's simply about creating a calming, predictable rhythm to the day. That might mean guiding them through the steps, doing it alongside them, or handling things for them when needed.


Do your best but be mindful of burnout. Parenting and caregiving are real work — physically, emotionally, and mentally — and you deserve support. Reach out regularly for help, even if it’s just a short break or assistance with a few tasks. You’re not alone—help is available. 


The Ontario Caregiver Helpline offers free, 24/7 support and guidance on available services— and can connect you with caregiver services, respite care, and other resources suited to your needs. Call 1-833-416-2273 (CARE) for confidential support. 


For free and confidential parenting support in Niagara, call Niagara Parents at 1-888-505-6074 ext. 7555, Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM–4:15 PM.   Email at niagaraparents@niagararegion.ca. A public health nurse will typically respond within one business day.
