Or a little once a week. I try to set realistic goals for myself. I would love to be able to clean up my apartment in one afternoon, but that is not realistic for me. I do what I can and let the pattern emerge on it's own.

Does that sound reasonable to you? I ask because I know when I set goals for myself that aren't in line with what I actually CAN do, I feel worse about myself. Am I making sense? I am not trying to tell you what to do, I am just sharing some of my experiences in cleaning and keeping up my apartment.


For example, I try to clean up a little at a time where it needs it the most. Like, when I go to the bathroom, I do a little there. If I am up to it, when I am in my kitchen, I do a tiny bit there, also. When I go back to those rooms and I see what I have done, I feel a little bit better about myself.
