I don't know where I heard/read this but it works for everything. Home/Work/Etc.
Do one thing today, to make your tomorrow better than today.
It can be something simple. Spend 15 minutes to do the dishes at the end of the day. Spend 15 minutes to sweep/vacuum at least a few times a week minimum.
Extend this to working out or getting healthier too. Spend 15 minutes to do some basic body weight exercises. You don't need any equipment and you will feel better for doing it.
If you get in the habit to spend 15 minutes to an hour daily to just take care of basic shit you will find that the house is always clean, the trash is always taken out, everything is more comfortable and fees like very little effort. If you let it all pile up eventually you don't want to do any of it since it feels like a lot of effort.
It's like with facial stubble. There's a myth that it grows back faster after you shave, but it's because the tiny bit of hair contrasts so much with no hair. Once there's a lot of hair you hardly notice a little bit of growth. With a very cluttered, dirty house 15 minutes of cleaning won't seem to make any difference, but a nearly-clean house 15 minutes will feel great because you see the difference. So keep it clean or else it will be even harder to feel like you're improving it.
