It's not the most looked forward to part of my day, and for a while, I was feeling overwhelmed. I've known about the "fly lady" for years, but I finally took to heart her idea, and it's working!!!
FlyLady's Basic Weekly Plan
I want you to think about the things you need to do every week. Select which days you want to do these things, put it on your calendar for next week, and stick to it. Make an appointment with yourself LOL! With the Basic Weekly Plan, we decide on a day to do things and stick to it. I never knew how much this would help my lack of organization. Knowing that I do my shopping on Thursday, my cleaning on Monday and my desk day on Friday allows me the freedom to schedule things according to the day. When you know what the day is, you know what has to be done. It is another way to be on autopilot. - FlyLady
Mine is simple, but it's working, and as I get into the routine, I'll add more to it. I used to find myself deep cleaning more often, or knowing that "AH! I better ____ before so and so comes over!" Now, I know things have had a deep cleaning weekly, not all the same day, but it makes it SO much easier to do a quick pick up at the last minute and feel good...

Wow, so THIS is how people keep thier homes clean without getting overwhelmed. THANK YOU!! I grew up in a house where we did all the cleaning on the same day. It has become SO overwhelming, now that I have 2 little ones. Thank you for the inspiration.
