      I feel you on this. I went to an employment agency to get help and all the weird reasons to write a resume a certain way are completely unintuitive. Good luck out there.

    not sure it’s creative, but I created a weekly cleaning schedule that groups labor by a “theme” for each day, so instead of seeing each day of the week as when precisely certain tasks are done, instead Wednesdays are a day to do some cleaning in the bathrooms. That way it’s easy to remember (Wednesday = bathroom), and I don’t feel as overwhelmed by approaching it as if every single cleaning task has to be done every single Wednesday, instead I just let myself pick and choose what I want to clean in the bathroom, and on subsequent weeks I can alternate or change out what in the bathroom is cleaned (e.g. last week the shower was cleaned so this week I’ll focus on the toilet).
