The prompt

I want the smallest cleaning routine that keeps my home from sliding, not a perfect one. I live in with . I can give it about , and what bothers me most when it slips is . Ask me up to three questions about how my days run. Then give me a routine on one page: a daily reset of ten minutes or less, one weekly block and a short monthly list, each task tied to a moment that already exists in my day. Tell me which common chores I can drop or do far less often. If the time I’ve given isn’t enough for this home, say so. End with the two tasks that matter most in a week when I do nothing else.
