Simplify Your Home Routine with a Home Maintenance Checklist

Let’s be honest—keeping your home in order can feel like an uphill battle sometimes, right? Between the daily chores and those bigger projects that always seem to sneak up on you, it can easily start to feel overwhelming. Trust me, I’ve been there, and I’ve worked with so many clients who feel the same way. It’s tough to know where to start, especially without a clear plan. That’s why having a simple, reliable home maintenance checklist is an absolute game-changer.


To help relieve the pressure, I created the Homeowner’s Guide to Routine Upkeep. It’s a no-fuss, straightforward checklist designed to make home care easier. It breaks everything down into bite-sized tasks—daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly—so you can stay on top of things without the stress.


What’s Inside the Guide?

The checklist includes over 75 actionable tasks, covering everything from quick, everyday jobs to those bigger, seasonal projects that need attention once in a while. Think of it as your personal roadmap to a more organized, stress-free home.

Sneak Peek: Your Daily Home Maintenance Checklist


One of the highlights of the Homeowner’s Guide to Routine Upkeep is the Daily Checklist. These quick, manageable tasks help prevent dirt, clutter, and disorganization from building up. With just a few minutes each day, you’ll not only keep your home looking its best but also make your weekly and monthly routines far easier to tackle.


Here’s a sneak peek of what your daily upkeep might look like:


  • Make beds 

  • Pick up clothing off the floor 

  • Wipe down kitchen counters & sink

  • Wipe down the dining table

  • Load & unload the dishwasher

By setting aside just a few minutes each day for these small tasks, you’ll create a foundation of order and calm that truly makes a difference. Think of it as a way to reclaim your time and enjoy a home that feels tidy and welcoming without the constant struggle.
