I have found that if I break down my chores into a weekly chart I can keep the house presentable if not sparkling. For instance the schedule for the kitchen is dishes every night. Mon-wipe down counter on east side, tuesday north side, wed is floors, thur west, fri shine the table, Sat -stove Sund menu plan
I have scheduled to clean/clear something in every room each day and then I am never overwhelmed. this is a little OCD but I have found it helpful to have some control over my life.
