Clean the mirror
A mirror looks clean until you tilt your head, and then the streaks are back. The task therefore has a tendency never to feel finished, however much you rub. The steps below give the cleaning an order that actually comes to an end.

About this visual support
What makes a mirror tricky is that the result depends on the viewer. From one angle it is spotless, from another it is full of streaks, and a thorough child can keep going for a long time without getting closer to feeling finished. The task is not physically heavy; it is hard to end.
Visual support solves this by describing method rather than result. Three pictures can show spray, wipe from top to bottom, go over it with a dry cloth. Once the work follows a direction there is a final stroke, and when that is done the task is complete no matter how the light falls.
A concrete tip is to make the last pass with a dry cloth in a different direction, sideways for instance. Any remaining streaks then show up immediately, as do the ones already gone. In Routined the bathroom cleaning can sit as a short routine with two or three steps, and the app can be tried for fourteen days at no cost.
