Take a weekend to thoroughly clean your home. At the end, take a mental snapshot of each room and each surface.

Going forward, at the end of each night before bed, reset each space back to that mental snapshot you have of how that space should look when it’s “clean”.

Doing this every day ensures that mess never gets out of hand.

Thinking of it as a “room reset” rather than cleaning” helps my perfectionism from jumping in and having me end up cleaning the baseboards every night.
