I’m only able to keep up with it during my summer break from teaching. That said, I’ve told people that it’s a matter of energy, not time*. I get my house spotless in two hours a week, but doing just one 90 minute lecture drains me to the point that the last thing I want to do is clean.
*Note: Folding clothes can fuck off, somehow that nonsense takes an hour with minimal impact on my home.
That’s my issue. Our house isn’t very big, just a smallish farmhouse. It doesn’t take long to actually clean it. But after working full time as a truck driver, coming home and having to clean while I’m mentally exhausted from work is why our house looks like a pig ran amuck in it (we have pigs, they don’t come inside the house often)
Here’s the thing about folding clothes, Professor: it’s a 2-minute task if you fold the clothes right after they come out of the dryer. It’s when you let laundry pile up that it becomes a marathon.
I know this, but I still occasionally let mine build up, and i regret it every time.
I’d say it’s about 20 minutes per load, and three tend to be done a week and some change. The main problem is also having kids who are too young to help me but old enough to need a full set of clothes every day (+pajamas).
But at least there’s podcasts to listen to while doing it…

Ah yes. Kids clothes add a lot of time.
