I am like you were, I like to do it now and get it done right.
When DH moved in together soon realised where I was going to have difficulties. He had a mum who did everything for him and he lived at home till he was nearly 30 so he really had no idea on anything

Things like if he does not put dirty clothes in the washing basket, they don't get washed. He soon learnt that I am his wife, not his mother. He has one room all to himself and that room is a huge mess but I never go in there so I don't care.

For me I have set days when I do things throughout the week. That way I don't spend a full day cleaning. I find it easier to stay on top of things that way. If I start something I keep going till it is done, if I take a break or stop chances are I will not go back.

I think maybe if you try starting with one thing and getting that done then starting something else might be a good way to start. It can be easy to start one thing and then try doing other things along the way but that can lead to unfinished jobs. Hope that makes sense
