I think the best way to manage cleaning when your dealing with chronic pain...

Life is much easier if you break up cleaning into a daily thing ..

Set a 15 min timer .. when it goes off you can stop

Break things down into days

Say .. Chop things up to where your not doing or wanting to do every thing at once do one of these each day

* run the vac in room X .. take a break... Wait a while maybe vac another room

*dust a room again put breaks in

*clean the bathroom

*Do a load of wash

* sweep any area that needs it

Just one of the above a day.

One thing I have learned is before you sit down at night .. Do a quick walk through, Pick up things just left laying around. Wipe down bathroom counters after you shower daily.
Wipe off kitchen counters.

Sounds like alot? It really isn't .... I have had to manage keeping my house up ( im so OCD about it) and not letting it make my pain even worse.

Just a side note.

When I am ready to go to bed I loathe the idea of taking the time to floss my teeth.. So I do it while watching TV or reading a long post on PC..
