[quote=Anonymous]You have to maximize your time to do chores and rest at other times. If kids were in school all day, what did you do besides laundry and dishes? Not being snarky. I know it can seem like sitting for a minute will get you motivated but that turns into lost time after you realize it has been hours.

You need to declutter- immediately. Then you need to organize what is left and make sure everyone knows what goes where. Dishes are cleaned right after meals with counters wiped.

Everything has a place and everyone participates.

I do laundry at night after work and all day Saturday. Even if I just wash and dry it all then we as a team fold and put away. When you travel, unpack immediately. Spend half your free time doing regular cleaning and half relaxing and reading or exercising- something that rejuvenates you.

I do curbside grocery pick up and Amazon. We have a shared family calendar that kids add their activities. Kids pack their own bags at night so ready to go in the morning. [/quote]
