Which days do you do laundry, grocery shop, cleaning, other life necessities? Any good planners or LPT YouTube channels for a less chaotic life?

I don’t know your life situation OP, but my wife and I have found it very helpful to designate one night of the week as our “weekly meeting.” After the kids go to bed, we spend some time together, catching up on the previous week and talking about next week. We also meal plan and make a grocery list. And both of us usually have a few things written down that we want to discuss, like upcoming trips, major expenses, etc.

It’s really nice to have Thursday nights as a time set aside just for the two of us to focus on each other and all the little things you forget about during the week. YMMV, of course.

I’m not yet at this point in life, but I will take this advice with me for when we start living together

I am not a very organised person with regard to time, but my wife and I plan a few days ahead and it works (without children). We don’t have a dedicated time for the planning itself, nor do we have regular meetings of any sort. We mostly wing it, but in a mostly responsible fashion, by which I mean we always end up doing what we set out to do, even if slightly late. Generally, I go by this : whatever it is, do it as soon as you can. Good luck
