I make lists and have set days of doing things. Not everything gets done but the main things do like vacuuming and mopping etc. Right now, I still have 2 baskets of clean washing that I did on the weekend to fold and put away.

So Mondays and Thursdays I do the vacuuming and in between days I give the floors a quick sweep. A load of washing goes on sometime between Friday and Sunday. Every morning I make the bed (this one I do without fail, makes me feel tidier LOL), sweep the floor and the dishes.

And I try and do it all before I even walk into the study to turn the computer on, otherwise I end up procrastinating about housework

I try and follow the tips in the Spotless book by Shannon Lush. She has some really great ideas.
