Every week you gotta:

  • dust all rooms
  • vacuum all rooms
  • mop rooms without carpet
  • cook multiple times depending on how you get organized
  • clean kitchen after each cooking session
  • do the dishes
  • laundry multiple times
  • grocery shop
  • iron clothes
  • clean the bathroom
  • take out the trash multiple times

Every few weeks you gotta:

  • wash curtains
  • clean the stove
  • clean up that closet or drawer that's full of stuff you don't know where to put
  • whatever else I can't think of right now

Every few months you gotta:

  • defrost the freezer & clean the fridge
  • deep clean some areas
  • some other things probably

Add a regular 8h job on top, add commitments (visit for someone's birthday, go out with friends etc), add some hobbies (gaming? Rock climbing? Whatever floats your boat, it still takes time)...

I would burn out faster doing all this shit than postponing my cleaning until someone visits. I try to weave in some chores between the essential stuff, but it always adds up and I need to spend a weekend catching up.
