I am one of those oddball people who can not function when things are messy. It makes my toes curl and clutters my brain till it implodes.
I've gone from living in a small 3 x 1 to an apartment in Singapore to a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom massive house in jersey.
I found it hard at first meeting my own expectations but I learned to use my phone and set a 'project' for myself. Today is washing day, yesterday vacuuming day, day before, bathrooms. I will sweep daily (mainly under the dinner table) but I go easy on myself too.
Dd is a rubbish sleeper and ds is an attention seeker, like most kids! I let them totally trash the place, but try and keep it in one spot at a time. Right now, playroom is trashed.
It helps that we don't have much stuff to fit this house, there is lots of storage so I can hide things away. Don't look in my drawers and cupboards coz they're a mess.
Just live up to your own expectations, do what you can when you can.
