Daily routine with toddler and newborn

[FourPlasticRings]

Hi everyone. DH is headed back to work in a week's time after paternity leave, meaning I'll have a two-and-a-quarter year old and a newborn by myself from around 5 in the morning until 5 at night. 😬 I'm a bit apprehensive about how to keep the house liveable, while keeping the baby alive and making sure the toddler gets out for some exercise daily and gets some mental stimulation. My plan is to take refuge in a daily routine and I'd like to start it soon. Any suggestions for making the day flow? Any routines that work for you? Toddler does not attend nursery and won't be able to until at least after Christmas and I don't plan to take baby to any baby clubs or similar until he's at least twelve weeks old. I need about an hour of housework a day, not necessarily all at once (I know you'll all say not to worry about the housework but my mental health takes an absolute nosedive if the house gets too bad).

Any tips gratefully appreciated.

I have a twenty month age gap and my youngest is now one. So here are my tips:
Get a good sling and put the baby in it. Preferably also learn to feed in it. It makes life infinitely easier unless you have one of those magic babies that sits happily in a Moses basket or bouncy chair, I didn't.
I get everyone dressed and the bed made before we go downstairs for breakfast. Some days this took over an hour but it's easier than getting up again. Keeping cleaning products in a safe place in the bathroom means you can wipe the sink/shower and bung some bleach in the toilet while you're in there anyway.
Look at team tomm.
I do all the upstairs things like changing the bedding before we come down in the morning because it's much harder to bring the whole circus up and down every time.
My toddler naps at lunchtime and they both go in the double buggy for that so I get a long walk. I need my exercise or I suffer for it. We have lunch before the nap.
We tend to go out in the morning - park, zoo, ducks, whatever. Then in the afternoon they can play with toys or watch CBeebies and I don't feel so bad.
Toddler learnt to help with cleaning, like she can put stuff in and out of washer and dryer so I don't have to bend down.
Cordless hoover really helps.
Toddler likes helping cook - I have dinner on the table as soon as husband gets back so we can all eat together and that he gets time with kids.
There is very little rest time/me time in there, sorry. My husband always baths the kids and I use that time to clean the kitchen and wash up and stuff, it's all very well to say enjoy the time and sit on the sofa but I get it, if I don't do it then it won't get done.
It got a lot easier when I could put both kids to bed and come downstairs for an hour or two.
This bit is HARD but you have got it, you're doing amazingly and it won't be forever.
