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 don't have kids and live alone in Tokyo. Space is limited so keeping things neat and tidy is a must. Also idk I just can't relax if I know there is still some small housework to be done (dishes, etc.).

If you have two year old I think you can be forgiven for a bit of chaos! Don't stress.

No, I don't struggle, because I feel no compulsion to keep it tidy in the first place :)

Don’t have a tip from my own life, but I know someone who has them 😊

I can highly recommend minimalmom on YouTube. She makes videos about family minimalism, and I think her info may be very useful.

She is currently running a course on minimalism that explains the concepts of it.

I do! But having scheduled company over for dinner and an RPG session once a week has helped me get over the procrastination to do the bare minimum to keep the house presentable.

I just hire 2 cleaning ladies.
