I know there's women out there who can keep up, but I just cannot. I'm expected to do it all, and when I try to enlist help... well, let's just say that isn't happening.
And please don't say "get off the computer." I only get on here after 9 pm, when I'm too tired to do anything else.
I need a REAL schedule that could actually work.
Answer
Try to prioritize...think how kitchen, bathrooms, bed linens need to be cleaned first. Do things in 20 min intervals...then take a break..then do another chore, break, etc.Use an egg timer or buzzer or cell phone to program break times.
You want a kitchen to prep/cook--consists of clearing dishes away, sanitizing sink, same with counters & clearing clutter, wiping down appliances, sweeping/mopping when needed, removing trash when needed.
Bathrooms..another important area...sinks, tubs, toilet area, floor. Get products that make it easy...like Scrubbing Bubbles Extend-a-Clean that helps to keep things clean for 4 days because water re-activates the cleaning solution. Swiffer Wet-Jets that mop & sanitize floors (bath, kitchen..then dispose of dirty mop pad). Keep a multi-hook hanger over the door to hang up towels in use, robes. Keep as much clutter off the counter as possible. Keep handy Clorox wipes under sink to give things a quick touch-up on a daily basis...or even more often as needed.
Bedrooms--you have to sleep on clean sheets...need washing at least once weekly...comforters, pillows, blankets need to be done every so often, too. Keep sheet sets together for easy changing. Laundry baskets for dirty clothes (even a basket for each...darks, towels, colors, whites)...or combine colors & whites & use Shout color catcher sheet. If you have access to Tide products..Tide detergent & Tide Stain Release Booster both awesome for removing stains first time, no pre-treating, no measuring, can use warm water, makes whites brighter and colors, too>>dinginess gone! Products that work right the FIRST time make your job easier!
Other rooms: they collect clutter (after all, we live in them!) so if carrying around a basket to collect odd stuff to put it away is easier for you, then do that. Decide when to vacuum furniture and carpets and when to dust. (Again...easy product like Swiffer dusters work great!
Think in terms of keeping things "presentable"..not perfect. Find creative ways for storage (if you don't have enough...time to clear things out). A padded bench that hides shoes inside can be found at discount stores or online...or stores linens...or other items.
Try to keep on top of things as you see them happening but don't have to get neurotic about it ;). I don't know how many family members live with you, but delegate duties that they can handle. With kids, don't just say "Clean your room or make your bed"....actually SHOW them how to do it and give praise for their efforts, they won't be perfect at first.
When you have things caught up..you'll have extra time to catch up on those projects that require more time that only have to be done occasionally: shampooing carpets, washing drapery panels, doing the windows (although having clean windows helps to make everything else look better), getting rid of things to donate and anything else.
For the "tiredness": have you ever tried that drink made by Crystal Light that's their energy drink? They're packets that you pour into 16oz water...it has just enough caffeine and B vitamins to keep you from wanting to nod off...but it's not wacky like Red Bull drink (and only 5 calories!)...try it while you tackle your housework.
