There are many reasons why using weekly checklists has never worked for me, but I discovered that listing *areas of focus* rather than a specific task has been very effective.
“Counters & stuff” might or might not include cleaning the microwave. “Fridge” might mean composting the rotted lettuce or a complete wipe down. “Sweep & vacuum” doesn’t say where or how well. Maybe I just check and all is good.
This allows for the needs of the moment.
