Don't Go Upstairs Empty Handed

If there are things that you know need to go upstairs, then take them with you when you go. Every time you have to go upstairs for something, make sure you don't go without taking something with you. When you get upstairs, make sure you put it away.

Finish What You Started

If you don't completely finish a task that you start, then you are really creating twice as much work for yourself. Sometimes you cannot avoid being interrupted, but try to ensure that you have enough time to finish something before you get started.

Remember No Home Is Completely Tidy All The Time

In reality, nobody's home is completely tidy all of the time. If you feel as if you have been working hard on trying to get your home tidy and there are still more jobs that need doing, focus on what you have achieved rather than what you have got left to do.
