If there's a pizza box, I take it out in the morning. At night I clean the kitchen after dinner.

Make the bed and throw yesterday's laundry in the basket.

1st: tidy/wipe down the bathroom while I am there in the a.m.
Last:sweep the kitchen floor

Morning: Feed the cats.

Evening: Feed the cats.

Notice a pattern?

In the morning, I don't do much because I'm not a morning person so I'm pretty zombified. If I left dirty clothes on the floor, I put in the in the basket. I also tuck away my fan. At night I straighten all the couch cushions, wash all the dishes, sweep and wipe down counter tops if needed, neaten up my desk... I hate waking up to messy things and hate having to clean in the morning.

I *NEVER* make my bed. LOOOVE a messy bed. But my dishes must be done, cat fed, box scooped and and STUFF put away. I like waking up to tidy.

1st chore - wake the kids, start them going to the bathroom, getting dressed for school, and eating their breakfasts. This has to be done first, in order for everyone to get out of the door on time.

Last chore - varies - there is always something, usually involves picking up one last time.

1st chore - rush to work as quickly as possible, as i'm almost always running late.

last chore - pick up the living room, dirty laundry in the basket (or pile), take dirty dishes to the kitchen and hopefully get them washed, pet kitties, refill glass of water on nighstand, sleep

1st chore - start the coffee pot

last chore - set up coffee pot

Caffeine is wonderful.

Making the bed doesn't count for me because it's just too easy. So #1 is feeding the cats followed by cleaning the bunny litter boxes. My bunny is very well behaved, but possibly only because I've placed litter boxes in all the places he likes to pee. In the evening, it just depends on how the house is looking. If there are dishes in the sink, I usually leave them until morning because then I can gaze out the window into the backyard while I clean.

While I wouldn't call it a chore, my first task of the day is take our dog out for our morning walk which is around 4 miles. I'm more energized when I get home, so now I take the time to clean up dishes and little messes from the evening before, make the bed, etc.

I work from home so throughout the day I'll take breaks and get cleaning done here and there. I don't have evening chores I tend to. By then, I'm just ready to veg out. I get more done in the morning than at night.

Tsk, take that hat off the bed! Bad luck. Doesn't everyone know that? Last tasks of the day, put the newspapers in the recycling and take the compost out. First tasks are the bed, and get all clothes into hampers or somehow away.

First Task: make the bed, and Last Task: feed my fish. =)

I'm not the world's tidiest person, but I always make my bed in the morning. I just moved, so my evening chore of late has been unpacking.

My first task is to make the bed and the last thing I do before I go to bed is make sure the kitchen is clean and the living room is straightened (arrange pillows, remove any clutter). It's nice to come downstairs in the morning to a neat living room and no dirty dishes.

First thing, feed the cat and put the water kettle on, brush teeth and wash my face, make the bed, make breakfast for me, and check my Emails.

Last thing at night, pretty close to the same thing. Feed the cat, brush teeth and wash my face, and unmake the bed.

God this sounds boring.

Morning: Take pups out for bathroom and playtime while I water the grass patch we're nursing into existence.

Night: Fold any laundry from the day or sweep.

First chore: make the bed. Last chore: scoop the litter box and take out the trash. Make sense to do it then since I shower before bed. :)

Make the bed; feed the cats; after breakfast, do the dishes.

I only make the bed if somebody is coming over for a house tour! (Still new...)

First chore then is feed the pets. (Then breakfast, tooth-brushing, showering...)

Last chore (apart from getting myself ready for bed) is scoop the kitty litter. (And on Tuesday nights, because scooping the kitty litter always seems to the the necessary reminder, getting the garbage ready for pickup early in the morning.)

Like hmr -

Feed cat, give cat insulin.

last thing at night - feed cat.

First task is making the bed.

Last task WAS starting the dishwasher, but I just learned how dangerous that can be...so now my last task is resisting the urge to turn on the dishwasher. Sweeping would be a good substitute.

First: Make coffee and bed, feed cats, turn on laptop
Last: Load & turn on DW, feed cats, turn off laptop

First: Change daughter's diaper and feed her breakfast. COFFEE.

Last: after toddler is down, clear table, wipe table, pick up toys, sweep living and dining room, dishes, wipe down bathroom surfaces while getting ready for bed.

Seems like a lot, but i've got it down to a science. Keeps me sane, since I work from home, too.

Morning - feed the dogs then make the bed

Evening - clean the kitchen after dinner and organize my desk since I'm self-employed (it tends to maybe get my butt back in the chair and finish up some odd task I blew off when it got late in the day)

AM: Make the bed. If I don't make it right when I get up, it doesn't get made.

PM: Wash dishes. I typically prepare the following day's lunch the night before, usually right before bed. It bothers me to leave dishes in the sink overnight (well, really it bothers me to wake up with a sink fully of dirty dishes and cold, smelly, old dishwater), so I usually am washing dishes right before I sleep.

Daily chores? Make the bed? People do this stuff? Daily?

I work from home and just do stuff as needed, but everyone has a different idea of "as needed." I don't really have a first chore unless making breakfast counts and my last chore is usually make dinner as my boyfriend does the dishes.

First tasks: Put on the kettle, feed animals, make the bed put dirty clothes in the hamper.

Last tasks: Dishes, tidy the kitchen, feed animals.

first: feed the cats & make the bed.

last: do dishes, tidy up, & make steel cut oats for breakfast the next day (http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/breakfast/how-to-cook-steelcut-oats-for-breakfast-the-night-before-134185)

@MaryCooksalot First thing I thought of, Mary! "What's that hat doing on the bed?!" lol

Last task is setting up coffee for in the AM.

First task is consuming said coffee, attempting to resemble something human (rather than zombie-like) then making the bed.

Last task, get baby's bottle ready and my coffee ready. First task, stumble around reaching for bottle and coffee.

First chore: Put on kettle for coffee and peel and core an apple for my rabbits' breakfast.

Last chore: Wash dishes (well, most of the time).

1st chore - rush! I start work pretty early, so I sleep in as late as possible.

last chore - whatever makes the house look clean and tidy. Usually the kitchen (wash-up, floors, benchtops).

I don't care what I wake up to, because my mornings are a rush, but I REALLY care what I come home to.

I only clean when my house is about to be classified as a biohazard or guests are coming over, whichever comes first. I HATE cleaning and I'm lazy. Plus, if I called them "chores," I'd have to kick my own ass. lol

I was also wondering why there was a bad luck hat on that bed? weird.
You have to make the bed. When I was single I did not want to sleep in someone else unmade bed. Not that I did...anywho. And now I hate "bits" in the bed. How do they get in there anyway?
Last thing at night all dishes and counters must be cleaned off. Critters.

The hat on the bed is bad luck for the 2nd of two bed activities. My Grandma said so and I believe it. Also, FYI, don't move an old broom to a new home. Sweeping bad energy into the new home.

I love how every cat owner puts feeding them as their first priority! Because if you are a cat owner you know - you really have to do that first or you will not be able to do anything else!!!! =^..^=

I love the others who commented with what I was going to say:

First: turn the coffee machine on
Last: set up the coffee machine

I wish I lived in a world where making the bed was included in my routine but after I get my coffee, I get back into bed to drink it!

Well, I get up two hours or so after my husband (who is up by 4 or 4:30 ay the latest) so some of the "first thing" stuff, like feeding the cats, is done. Before I leave the house or hole up in my office (I work from home several days a week) I make sure the bed is made (I see it as I enter or leave the home office) and that the kitchen is clean. At night, litter is scooped, cats are fed, kitchen is clean, and house is tidied. These chores are split between us.

I am so lucky that my then-messiest-boyfriend-in-the-world magicallly metamorphosed into a bed-making fiance when we got engaged and moved in together. It gets better - as a husband he naturally took over litter duty when we saved a couple of kittens from the shelter. What an awesome surprise he turned out to be! So my first chore is to make coffee. Usually my last is to wash out the kitchen sink because I hate dirty sinks. And... set up the coffeemaker, like many of my brethren out there!

First: make bed
Last: set up coffee, put away clothes

First thing...if I ran the dishwasher overnight I empty it. Otherwise it's sweeping, which I do every other morning (mopping 1x/week-no furry pets so I can get away with it). It's a small house, so that's usually done in 20 minutes.

Last thing, if there are dishes in the sink I put them in the dishwasher and take out the kitchen trash. I never leave food trash overnight.

I don't really make the bed so much as I toss the covers back over. I could never get into that habit sadly.

I always suspected that hat on the bed bad luck thingy was made up by some neatnick trying to get the person they lived with to pick up after themselves

First Order: Give THANKS for a new day, air out bed, breakfast and enjoy the day!

Last Chore: Wash feet and give THANKS for the night.

My routine always seems to vary.. I go through phases of various routines! Lately the last thing has been doing the dishes at night, and in the morning I usually make lunches. Being a student tends to mean inconsistency!

First task - take our dog for a walk. I don't make the bed because my husband is still sleeping in it when I leave for work.

Last task - wash dishes and wipe down counters... if I can bring myself to do it.

First thing, make the bed. Then, coffee and cigarette followed by personal hygiene. Then I do all the little things I tend to forget because I am better at that in the morning: water houseplants, feed the cat, take out garbage, start the dishwasher, that sort of thing. Only then do I allow myself to have breakfast as I need to sit down for that, and from that point onward, I tend to get sloppy. Off to work in the dining room!

I try not to leave anything for the evening, so what most people would do in the evening, I leave for the following morning. Being a freelancer, I have trouble setting the moment when I am done working and when I start family time, so I am bad at evening routines.

My first chore of the morning is always feeding my cats. One has meds that get mixed into the food, so it takes a bit longer. Then it's changing their water, refilling their dry food, and then cleaning the litter box. Since I too am self employed I understand how easy it is to put off other chores.... I will admit that I currently have yesterday's dishes in my sink and a mound of laundry that needs to be done :/

My first chore is getting up and just getting ready for work, no making the bed for me. My last chore (currently) is to feed the dog and put him out to do his business before we both sleep. When I move in a couple of months, the parents get to take that chore back and I'll have unpacking/cleaning to do instead.

First: feed the baby.
Last: feed the baby.

I also work from home, so not many other things get done every day, lately.

there are at least 5 feng shui flaws here in this pic...

In AM....pull back sheets let air out...come back later make the bed.

End of Day...Load washer and dishes in dishwasher.

Ugh, never make the bed as soon as you get up. The mattress, sheets, and blankets need to air because we all sweat during sleep. Always push the covers back for an hour, at least. THEN make the bed.

Last task of the day...? a bit weird, but I clean out my handbag (hate crumped receipts, empty gum wrappers and loose change) and organise anything that I need to take to work with me the next day.. Habit from school I guess...
