I started doing this different approach for #cleaning up rooms in a house. It reduces the mental stress while also assuring me that I don't have to do as much immediate work.
Using tallies.
in each room I'l put a peace of paper, with tallies. One time that I step in a room, would add one tally to the total.
and instead of tallying up to 5, i'l tally up to 3. 3 tallies means it is time to clean up *that room.
Each room has it's own sip of paper where I mark down the tallie of how many times I walk in a room.
Once a tally for one room is complete for a day, then no more tallie to add up to that room untill the next day.
You can try restricting the amount of times you have to clean a room based off of the tallys per week.
The idea is to reduce the emediate stress feeling of having to clean up a bunch of rooms, while also giving you feedback to clean a room with good activity that might need it.
