I'm so tired of cleaning, especially since I'm just treading water so that it's acceptable. I haven't yet had the opportunity to really get into our guest room and do what I want with it, or organize our closet and make our bedroom homey. It's starting to effect my mood. I feel like I'm in a rut and I don't want to do anything when I'm home because its just so overwhelming!
So I sat down, used pinterest for inspiration, and created a game plan.
Monday: Kitchen
Clean
Organize Cabinets
Tuesday: Living Room
De-Clutter
Clean Desk & Organize Power cords
Finish Wedding Picture Collage
Wednesday: Bathrooms
CleanOrganize Cabinets and Linen Closet
Thursday: Closets
Straighten & Organize
Friday: Guest Room
Take Trashbag(s) and go through clutter!
Make a donate pile
Saturday: Mix Bag
Install overhead fan/light in guestroom
Straighten Chests of Drawers & Nightstands
Organize Pantry
Clean Fridge
Catch up any laundry from the week
Sunday: Relax
i.e. celebrate my sister's birthday!
Of course once I get it where I want it, the goal would be to keep it that way!
Do you have any tips or tricks for keeping your space clean and organized?

I try and try to keep ahead of the clutter in my house, but with a baby (who has figured out how to crawl), a dog that sheds like crazy, and a husband who leaves stuff in a trail wherever he goes, I feel as if I'm fighting a losing battle. Perhaps I should divide and conquer like you? :) Let us know how the cleaning plan goes!
Man, I really need to work on this. I"m the most cluttered person ever... Well short of full-blown hoarders, they're more cluttered.
I really like the weekly schedule. I am going to start doing this for my house.
Best of luck! I tried to have a daily cleaning schedule and it just didn't happen. So now I have a list of cleaning chores that I do, and I rotate through them every Sat and Sun (2 chores/day), so things like cleaning the toilet get done every month. That's the best I can do. ;)
