I have the exact same problem, this is what I’ve been trying these last weeks and I’m already seeing some improvement.
I started by setting up three easy daily tasks:
pick up all dirty clothes for laundry
sweep all the floors
clean the dishes
I don’t do very thorough sweep, just so it looks clean but since I have to do it every day something gets tickled in my brain that tries to find something to sweep because the broom is not picking anything, so I just recently realised that I’ve been moving out the way or completely removing stuff that impeded me from sweeping small corners that I didn’t sweep the day before.
I’m so happy with how it is working that I’m about to add dusting into the routine. If the same logic applies, I’ll be throwing away lots of stuff that make dusting harder.
I started doing it to learn to adopt habits and clean more often, the decluttering part was unexpected but welcomed. I still have a long way to go but I feel optimist.
