Spend a week doing that (the dishes every night) and then add another task. I recommend sweeping your kitchen every day. Again, the first day will be completely different from the following days. After another week, start checking your bathrooms for clutter (and removing that clutter when you find it). Once that starts to feel normal after a week, do a five-minute pickup. (A five-minute pickup is exactly what it sounds like, but I’ll explain the ins and outs later.)
