Welcome to Flylady baby steps day 23 for getting your home and life in order.
We need to continue working on our previous habits for our morning and before-bed routines. I moved the baby steps around my day to make it work better for my family. It doesn’t matter when you get your tasks done. Just work it around your schedule.

Before Bed Routine
Flylady Baby Steps Day 23 – Afternoon Routine
Today we need to make a new page in our control journal for our afternoon routine. The afternoon routine needs to work for your family.
I’m a stay-at-home mom, and my afternoon routine might look very different from yours.
The secret to making a routine is to make sure you write it down and start building your new habits by working on one habit/step at a time.
It’s ok if you don’t get everything done on your list.
2 Afternoon Routines
I’ll be making two different afternoon routines. An early afternoon routine (around noon) will include:
- 5 Minute Room Rescue(Toy pick up in the living room)
- Lunch
- Lunch Clean Up
- Fold and Put Away Laundry
- Declutter
- Workout
- 15-minute break
I’ll be moving my workout to the afternoon, so I can work in the morning while my kids are sleeping.
Late Afternoon (Around 3 pm)
I’m also going to have a late afternoon routine that will include:
- Unload Dishwasher(if needed)
- Snack
- Snack Clean Up
- Start Preparing Dinner
I included unloading the dishwasher before dinner because it is easier to clean as you cook when the dishwasher is empty.
Final Thoughts
Those will be my two-afternoon routines that I’ll be working on to make my life a little easier.
If I get overwhelmed, I might cut the list down to 2 or 3 most important things that I need to get done in that block time, and anything else will be a bonus.
