I do all my chores first .As someone mentioned above, it doesn't get bad because I'm always on it. I grew up in a filthy, filthy home and I promised I'd never live that way when I grew up and had my own family. The only time I can really relax and enjoy hobbies is once I know everything is straightened up. On rare occasions I might alternate sewing with cleaning. Gives me the best of both worlds :)
