There are some things in life that has to get done to insure sanity. Since living on my own I have found it so difficult to keep up with my house work. My house is only 735 sq ft, but it seems so messy all the time. I have found that when the dishes are done, the living room is picked up, the bathroom is clean, the laundry is done and put away, the counters are cleared off and my room is organized that life is much more enjoyable. All these things are such unnecessary stresses that if done regularly will only take up a fraction of an hour in a daily, sometimes weekly period of time.
In this case, more is less and less is more. Cleaning MORE often IS LESS stress, and LESS stress IS MORE happy life.
