[quote=Anonymous]I no longer care about whether their rooms are clean on a daily basis. Most of the time, I just close their doors.

Purge relentlessly. If I’m folding laundry, and I fold something that looks too small, I put it in a bag to donate right then. Same with toys I’m cleaning up. I throw most mail away right away and don’t keep much that comes home from school.

I run the dishwasher almost every night and unload it as I make breakfast in the morning. This way dishes won’t pile up.

I make our bed every morning as soon as I get out of bed. Makes a big difference.

I do smaller loads of laundry now. Makes it easier to fold them and put them away immediately.

I clean kitchen counters and straighten our living room before we go to bed every night and again before I leave for work in the morning.

It’s an uphill battle and I don’t always accomplish it all, but when I do it makes a big difference in our stress level. I’m the person who cares most about the house being tidy so I’m the one it falls to.
