[quote=Anonymous]I would figure out what the bare minimum standards are for your household and then figure out how to get them met.  Know that it will not be perfect.  For me, I might spend a little more to have tons of paper plates on hands so that after meal cleanup includes basically no dishes, and you can then manage to wipe counters and tabletops thoroughly.  Sweep and swiffer at the end of the day.  I can handle laundry sitting in piles waiting to be folded and I can handle a binof dust on the bookshelves and i can handle bathrooms that only get thoroughly clean twice a month, but I need the playroom fairly organized and I need the kitchen tidy.

What that means is that every morning I unload the dishwasher so that it is easy for us to put dishes in as we go, we use way too many paper towels because we grab one and wipe down the counter after every meal prep, and I spend 15 minutes every night sweeping and mopping the kitchen floor.  The kids' toys are kept in bins and we enforce a one-bin-at-a-time rule, and we have a 15-minute family tidy-up/cleaning session before dinner every night to get their stuff basically put away.

While I do kitchen floors, DH does dishes, and then we each do one more chore--wipe down the bathroom with lysol wipes, rotate laundry, pack lunches, vaccuum the LR, etc.  total we spend 20 minutes each night maintaining and then spend 2 hours every other saturday doing stuff like vaccuuming the entire house, cleaning bathrooms, etc.
