Just a couple hours a week helps far more than most people think it does. And depending on who you get, it's not that expensive, either. We need to normalize having housekeeping help again. There's an unnecessary stigma surrounding having someone hired to do it and that needs to go. I pay mine $20/hr right now, but people can be hired for less. I see Facebook ads for it often at $12/hr, sometimes advertising as low as $9.

I have someone hired to do all of that right now, but obviously most people aren't in the position to do that.

If you can spare it, I'd hire someone to do the things you hate the most or stress you out the most on a very small scale just to see how much you feel it helps you.

Others can offer more practical advice if you can't do that, but if you have any ability to, even just a couple of hours a week, you should try it.
