#3b: You will have your own area, or the two of you will kill each other. Doesn't need to be a bedroom. Can be a desk, or a room corner, or something. But have it.
#8: Time spent alone on chores that benefit the household as a whole is time you get to spend doing whatever the hell you want later. This is informal and unarticulated. It is also rigidly enforced, as anyone (SO, roommate, or not) who attempts to convince me to do something I'm not in the mood for after six hours of struggling with window screens will get their head bitten off.
#9: Keep light cleaning supplies (Lysol, Windex, paper towels) handy. You're much more likely to do a spot clean if the requisite stuff is "over in the corner" not "down the hall, inside the cupboard, behind the dish soap", and spot cleans help.

Me, it makes the difference between cleaning now and cleaning later.
