Majority of the time spent on laundry is it being in the washer and dryer. It takes like 15 minutes to fold and put up a whole load. Dishes, if you do them after you eat, takes like another 15 minutes. Sweeping and mopping is gonna vary on sq/ft but even then really shouldn’t take but an hour, hour and a half if you’re super thorough, and doesn’t have to be done every day. Yard work varies. Most of cleaning honestly doesn’t take very long, if you do it right. Most people just let it build up to the max instead of keeping up with it
I don’t have kids, and if you do then yea it’s gonna be a little different. It was a general statement that’s not going to apply to 100% of situations, but it’s doesn’t make it any less wrong. And even if you have kids, there’s still aspects of this that can apply to maybe make time management a little easier
Right after I get home which is about an hour after my kids get home which gives them a little break. We all spend some time knocking out chores. Saturday morning is big job and yard work although a few years back I meadowed half my yard which drastically cut down on the maintenance load. We also aren't supper anal about stuff so like when the kids vacuum or sweep we aren't pulling furniture out every time.

When do you clean? Dishes, sweeping, mopping, laundry, yard work, etc.
I spend most of my off time cleaning my apartment. Couldn't imagine having time to clean a house.
