If you can never seem to get housework done, then it may be that you do not have a good strategy for approaching the tasks at hand. If you don't have a  written to-do list to help you visualize tasks, then start there. If you do, try breaking the list down into sections – whether that is by room, type of task (cleaning, decluttering, tidying, etc.), or how long they will take to do.
Then, set a timer for 30-60 minutes, and try to tackle one section within that time. If the timer goes off, stop what you are doing and return to work another day. This will help to build positive associations with chores and take some of the stress away.
