Be Specific
Specific goals will help you more than broad goals, so make your checklist as specific as possible. Instead of “clean the kitchen,” break down each task. Each time you achieve a goal, it will help you work towards the next goal.
This also helps you stay on track so you get everything completed that you want to see finished, and you'll get more done!

If you aren't sure where to start with your checklist, here are a few room-by-room suggestions:
