My favorite saying is "habits are for lazy people". Being said start good habits from day one. Clean as you go, immediately throw trash away. Don't let laundry pile up(they have pods and I suggest buying them over liquid detergent).The diffuser is a great thing, no chance of fire(unless you're a complete idiot). Maintenance everything you can(you'll thank yourself later). Use cleaning vinegar instead of bleach also I use hydrogen peroxide on everything as well. If you don't want to do dishes buy paper plates and plastic silverware.
