Make a cleaning schedule and stick to it
Well, I set up my list today. Now - the hard part: sticking to it. I hope this motivates me to do a better job.
Sunday: change beds/towels
Monday: laundry
Tuesday: vac bedrooms/bathrooms

So, It's.... not perfect, but so, so, so much better than not having the schedule! I at least remember what I have to do, and while something still need to occassionally get pushed to the backburner, I'm still being way more productive and my house is still way neater than it has been in months.
Next stage is trying to stick to it more closely and get my family to use the checklists, as well.

All my schedules are finished! The formatting is so aesthetically pleasing and minimalist, a lot different than last time, and a lot more functional (I learned my lessons). I have a morning/evening routine checklist, a checklist for recurring chores (daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually!!), a "good noodle" chart for my son, and the official Big Clean checklist (which I plan on laminating and keeping in a master binder -- the master binder is something for another post, but yeah I'm excited!
I have completed a structured and complete maintenance household chore chart, a morning and evening routine checklist (for me; updated to reflect COVID life, but something a little more evergreen that I can carry on with after the fact) a "good noodle" chart for Bear (with behavioral expectations and age-appropriate chores), and now the only thing left to do is the checklist for this year's Big Clean!
For the record, since "stick to it" sounds very open ended, I will consider it "stuck to" when I have solidly formed the habit of adhering to it. They say a habit takes 21 days to form, but I like the roundness of a full month, so let's go with that.
So, when I have used these chart everyday for a month, I will mark this goal "complete."

Sitting down tonight to start constructing several different schedules: one for my annual Big Clean, one for a maintenance cleaning routine, and one to construct morning/night routines for both myself and the Bear. Work and school from home, plus general quarantine life has resulted in a total degredation of routine and basically no delineation between work and home life; I really want to get back on track andhave some sense of order in my life again.
I'm getting the evening routine down fairly well -- tidy house, clean kitchen, replace dish cloth & towel
Schedule made! Just need to stick to it!
