Every morning before school drop off time I make sure all the beds are made and that the kitchen has been cleaned, dry dishes put away and dirty dishes washed or put in dishwasher (my saving grace). That way when I get home I dont walk in and get all "down" from looking at a messy kitchen. I will also quite often also do a wash straight away in the morning and put that on the line if weather permits or in the dryer. So by 8.30 I feel like at least half the battle has been won.
I usually come home straight away Monday or Tuesday mornings and wait for my Coles Online. I use that as an excuse to stay home all day and clean! On the day that I am at home waiting for shopping I usually aim to do my ironing and clean the bathrooms.
Vacuming the whole house is usually done twice a week - once on weekends and once again during the week (whenever I find the time, no set day). The meals and living areas are usually vacumed around 3 times a week. This is usually done early in the morning - around 9-10am. Mopping is only done once a week unless something major has been spilt.
Putting away clean clothes is done ad hoc - I try not to leave the basket more then 24 hours otherwise it simply piles up and becomes unmanagable. Changing sheets is a once a fortnight job on weekends when DH is home.
I do find that mornings are the best time to get most stuff done, its when I feel my freshest and most motivated, it all goes downhill after that!!

(I do iron my work uniform and DF shirt if we are going somewhere nice) most clothes look ok if I hang them out straight away and I often put clothes on hangers straight from the machine and then hang them on the washing line, saves time when I go to put them away and they have hardly any creases
