Do you struggle to keep your house tidy? (lemmy.world)

I feel like my house is constantly a fucking mess. My wife and I work 80 hours between us and we have a 2 year old and I feel like it's constantly a mess.

We do what we can and often spend a couple hours on a weekend tidying but it's a losing battle.

How do you cope/keep on top of things?

I just try really hard to do the small things all the time. Whenever I leave a room, I try to bring something with me that shouldn't be in that room. Whenever I go into the kitchen, I try to clean one thing in the kitchen whether it's putting something in the dishwasher or throwing out an empty package.

Just do small things whenever you have a moment.

Our place still looks chaotic though so don't expect miracles.
