First, focus on the areas of your home that receive the most use. Your kitchen likely receives more foot traffic than your guest room. So clean the former and forget the latter (unless you’re planning to host someone). Second, set a time limit for each room. For example, allow 15 minutes to clean the kitchen, 10 minutes to clean each bathroom, and 5 minutes to sweep the porch. If you need to vacuum your carpets, give yourself 20 minutes. No more. Third, get rid of stuff you no longer use nor need. We’ll talk about this more in a few moments.
