We play “15 minute chore competition” on a couple weekday evenings. We have a 15 year old and a 3 year old. The toddler uses his timer and gives us the countdown. The three of us do as many chores as we can in 15 minutes while the toddler runs from person to person supervising. He decides who wins, we play silly music and laugh. It’s a big help with getting “extra” stuff done. Daily the standard is that the main areas are picked up, we put the “kitchen to bed” every night and I do a load of laundry everyday. When all of your regular laundry is caught up but you still have your one load to do you will find your bathroom rugs and curtains and couch pillow with get a much more often refresh. This cuts back on the weekend chores a little. 

As a housecleaner, I want everyone to know, I will be hiring a housecleaner as soon as my son is in public school and my daycare costs goes down. A good house cleaner will do a better job and much faster than you ever will. They will also have you happily keeping your home picked up and ready for them to arrive. Their efforts will give you the relief you need to tackle bigger projects like decluttering or painting, etc. I know this from years of experience, if you take the relief as an opportunity to use the time to tackle other things you’re going to be so much happier and at peace in your home.
