Cleaning is a skill. Learn to like it young and never have a messy home.

And like all skills, will develop as you do it more and more. If you’re new to cleaning and you suck at it, don’t despair. Just keep trying.

Also, if you don't have it in you or enough time in your day to do the right kind of cleaning, it's better to do a half-assed clean today than none at all.

The best amount for me is five minutes, with a timer. When the timer goes off, I stop.

That's my strategy for intimacy, too.
