Would this be a good feeding schedule?

The bearded dragon I plan on getting is my friends 17 month old, because he is moving away to college and cant take it with him. I am trying to get everything in complete perfect order and organized and planned out, because when things aren't planned out i get stressed out and then everything goes bad! ANYWAYS! I'v been trying to come up with a feeding schedule for the babe. After some research this is what I have come up with:
*Every other day I will feed her some Phoenix worms (I am petrified of roaches and crickets are too expensive here and im on a pretty tight budget) and the phoenix worms with some calcium powder just every few feeds since they are already high in calcium. Then some other days coat it in multivitamin powder, but less often than the calcium. This will be fed in the morning, a couple hours after she wakes up and while im there watching her.
*Every day I will leave her some greens and other veggies before I leave for work, around 4, or my mom will do it a little later. The veggies will be a daily thing.
*On weekends I will treat her to some fruit and variety of worms like superworms or hornworms. Y'know, the GOOD stuff ;);)
*I plan on giving her a bath every day about 20 minutes or until she poops, a little after she finishes eating, and then having play time with her until I have to go to work. I only want to take her out to play after she poops so she gets in the habit of *poop then play* so she wont poop on me or on the carpet while we are playing.

So how does this all sound?? All of this is of course dependent on her and what she does and what she likes, this is just a rough plan I will try to implement just to keep my sanity and order for now. I'm so excited to have my Bellatrix <3

*Every other day I will feed her some Phoenix worms (I am petrified of roaches and crickets are too expensive here and im on a pretty tight budget) and the phoenix worms with some calcium powder <<<< if giving calcigents (same bug) , dusting with calcium is unnecessary as they are naturally rich in calcium.
just every few feeds since they are already high in calcium. Then some other days coat it in multivitamin powder, <<<< a couple of days of vitamin dusting is OK
but less often than the calcium. This will be fed in the morning, a couple hours after she wakes up and while im there watching her.

*On weekends I will treat her to some fruit and variety of worms like superworms or hornworms. Y'know, the GOOD stuff ;);)
*I plan on giving her a bath every day <<<< too frequent , my beardies rarely get baths (Peppa and Toothless have only had a few baths in their 8.5 months with us, in both case because they'd crawled through their poo and were very pongy) .
about 20 minutes or until she poops, a little after she finishes eating, and then having play time with her until I have to go to work. I only want to take her out to play after she poops so she gets in the habit of *poop then play* so she wont poop on me or on the carpet while we are playing.<<< keep a bit of paper towel handy and if she lifts her tail and bum , slip it under her , makes clean up very easy .

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
