Specific Chores for the 1st of the Month?

Just curious if anyone has specific chores that they do at the beginning of the month different from regular cleaning. I am trying my best to get organized with a cleaning schedule.

I need to set up a cleaning schedule too. The art of chores is my downfall!

I dont have a first of month cleaning.

I do have daily stuff I do, weekly stuff I do. Then stuff I get to when I have time.

Daily:
*Dishes, clean sink, wipe counters. I do as i go. No dishes piled up ever!
*Bring laundry downstairs
*Wipe bathroom mirror, sink, shower after i shower.
*Pick up everything on counters/tables.
*Sweep kitchen

Weekly saturday morning:
*Dust.
*Wipe out microwave, wash burners on stove
*Vacuum ( i do during week too if needed)
*Put all laundry away. I usually wash fridays during day.

I always do all of my bills on the 1st so that I will remember to do them. Doing the bills also includes cleaning up the huge pile of papers that usually gather where my bills are.

I used to change the water filter and add softener salt on the 1st. Then I would take recycles back on the 15th. I have kind of gotten away from doing those things. I need to find a good routine for those random things. I have a daily and weekly routine that I have been doing alright with. Thanks for the reminder.
