  At 86 I don't clean the house any more - I just keep it clean. That's good enough.

  I clean guest rooms before someone stays and then when they leave. In between I completely ignore them

  I’m one of 5 children.  My Mom used this standard:  clean enough to be healthy, dirty enough to be happy!  Personally, I like put it away, give it away or throw it away mixed with my Moms standard.

  If you don’t have too much stuff, this is not a problem.

  I hired a cleaner.  Every Monday I have a small list of things that need doing. I do 98% of the cleaning myself, but the cleaner has the tasks that I haven't had the energy to do that particular week.  Some weeks I might get the shower scrubbed...some weeks it might be cleaning all of the kitchen cupboards...every week a thorough vacuum through the entire house. It works for both of us. I can leave the house and when I get home my house is spotless. I love my cleaner,  sometimes he'll see things that need doing that I haven't particularly noticed...he's priceless!

  Cleaning is my superpower. I tried to do crafts, painting, baking, but - nope.<br>I&apos;m a clean machine. ❤

  I have done room by room and task by task, all of my life. &nbsp;I like the room by room better. &nbsp;I do like the bedtime loop routine as well. &nbsp;Making sure people have their personal items in their rooms. &nbsp;Clean kitchen, clean sinks. &nbsp;So in the mornings, no one has to clean before you can even make a cup of coffee. &nbsp;It helps me mentally.

  The older I get the less I care about a spotless home. I used to be a perfectionist, now good enough is fine for me. &nbsp;When I see that something needs attention I take care of it before it gets out of hand. &nbsp;Much happier.

  Batch tasks - avoid switching tasks.<br>1. Short wind-down before bed.<br>2. Wipe spills immediately. <br>3. Keep a donation box. <br>4. Living room, bathroom, &amp; kitchen get priority. <br>5. Morning sequence - make bed, open window, clean the table. <br>6. Give everything a designated home. <br>7. Work in short, timed bursts.<br>8. Keep supplies within reach, where needed. <br>9. Bring a little greenery indoors. <br>10. Have a meaningful reason to clean. <br>11. Reset seasonally - spring cleaning, autumn reset, rotate mattresses twice a year.<br>12. Build zones, not just rooms.<br>13. Share the cleaning with another person or task.<br>14. One focused deep-clean day each week. <br>15. Manage laundry with a rhythm. <br>16. Accept good enough as the goal. It&apos;s never permanently clean. <br>- The advice is given to start one habit for a week before adding more.

  Ok, I&apos;ll never make the cover of Better Homes &amp; Gardens, but I&apos;m not gonna get shut down by the Board of Health either. I&apos;m a 71yo widow living on my own. I realize that I do half as much, and everything takes twice as long to accomplish. Thought I was the only crazy one that keeps the dustbuster in a bin on a livingroom bookshelf. Love the idea of the donate bin. It is a hard and fast rule to clean up the kitchen as I go, and to never go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink. Morning is always easier to face when the kitchen is tidy. You&apos;ve hit on a bunch of very workable solutions, and keeping a &quot;to do list&quot; is essential. Weeks may pass before you realize that you haven&apos;t watered the plants, but the list will remind you. My goal is to accomplish at least one thing every day. This gives me something to look forward to and a sense of purpose. Thanks for all the good advice and suggestions. I work at my own pace, but still get things done.

  Do what you can and don&apos;t do what you can&apos;t, ask for help or leave it be. ❤
