Please share one thing you do that makes you feel like a balabusta in your home. May it be something you learned to clean with, a specific schedule you have, a cooking tip etc.
Let's go ladies! Let's share and learn from each other's! Thank you!!

Make lists.
It's the one step that leads to the rest.

Have absolutely everything ready for shabbos early, so I can sit down with a cup of tea and have quiet time on Friday afternoon. (This is somewhat my doing, and somewhat the fact that my kids are not little any more.)

Coming home from work to a ready hot meal makes me feel like a balibusta. I think it's that juggle, and the days I'm able to accomplish it all by planning ahead is gratifying.

Folding piles of laundry. And preparing mine and my kids' clothing at night for the next day....wooooow! Seriously, seeing neat piles of clean clothing in the closet and drawers makes me feel competent and "managing..."

Going to sleep (and waking up) with a clean organized kitchen.

Much like Amelia Bedelia (the book character, not the imamother poster  ), I am a terrible housekeeper.
But I can make a gorgeous lemon meringue pie

Absolutely nothing. I loathe keeping house. And I don't have cleaning help. I am not a balabusta nor do I strive to be.

Yummy pie bigsis!
Tidying up, packing any toys away etc in the evening after kids are in bed. It's nice to wake up to a clean and tidy home

Having a fresh hot lunch ready for my kids when they come home from school.
My mom used to have a hot lunch ready for us every single day.
Most days I'm at work when my kids get home and they either eat sandwiches or warm up their own lunch (that I have ready from them)

Doing things in advance. Like prepping for shabbos on Thursday or making two suppers at once. (I notice a lot of other answers in this thread are also things done in advance. Like laying out clothes, having meals in freezer etc.)

Mopping the floors. I despise it, but when I look out at that clean expanse of white tile, I feel like I really accomplished something. Doing dishes is no where near as satisfying, because you've only cleared up a small space.
DH really loves to eat, so no matter what, I make a full dinner. Meat, starch, veg, and salad. Lots of variety and seasonings to keep it interesting. I have it hot and ready for him when he comes home from davening. If I neglect everything else in the house, this alone goes miles towards making him feel loved and appreciated.
Chicken soup made from scratch, where you simmer the bones and an onion and some celery leaves all day long. Strain the broth, and then add chicken meat, fresh soup veggies, and cook it all again for an hour or so.
ETA: Oops, that was three things!
