[quote=Anonymous]Increase maid to once a week. Everyone has to tidy up beforehand. Keeps it in check and kids learn to do this at least once a week.Or twice if you really need it and can afford it.

Get groceries, household items, prescriptions delivered or shopped for and you just pick up. Buy chopped veggies, bagged, washed salads, prepared dinners, pizzas. Make meal prep easy and use fewer pans, dishes. Or try meal delivery.

Take sheets and towels to a fluff n fold place or dry cleaners do this. They fold sheets better than I can. Even better if they pick up and deliver. Get a lot of your own clothes dry cleaned. They also mend and iron without cleaning.

Take a day off once on a while if you need to just organize, clean, de-clutter and drive donations someplace. Ask your kids if they have things they don't need anymore and get rid of it. If you don't have time to donate stuff, throw it away. If you are really busy, it's not that time of your life to worry about it.

Do a little bit every day. Shredding papers, putting things away, whatever. 30 minutes.
