These short, daily routines could put you on the right path to a regularly clean and tidy home for you and the rest of your family. Here’s an example:

Make cleaning the basin as routine as washing your hands. But don’t stop there. Get the most out of your pre-moistened wipe by using it to clean around the edges of the tub and then the toilet before tossing it.
• Wipe out the sink (30 seconds). Wipe the toilet seat and rim (15 seconds).
• Swoosh the toilet bowl with a brush (15 seconds).
• Wipe the mirror and faucet (15 seconds).
• Squeegee the shower door (30 seconds).
• Spray the entire shower and the curtain liner with shower mist after every use (15 seconds).

Are Americans really this pressed for time ALL THE TIME that we have to articles detailing to the quarter-minute what tasks need to be done? I mean seriously, step back and look at the American lifestyle for a minute and you’ll find that our way of life functions around being productive and providing to society, but what good is all that if you never take a step back to look at or enjoy what you’re trying so hard to contribute to? Sure, clean the house, and document it to the second CNN… I’ll be outside enjoying the breeze, riding a bike, and flying a kite.
Consider that this article was written in order to allow people, regardless of where they choose to life, more time to enjoy the breeze, ride bikes, or fly kites.
In other words, get off the soapbox, stop being so angry, and enjoy life for awhile.

I like cleaning using a tear structure:
tier 1: remove all trash from rooms. remove it all. stuff you can throw away and deem as trash, right now.
tier 2: dishes. collect them all. do them all.
tier 3: clean up the rest of it. smoke ashes, spills, mopping, vacuuming, etc.
tier 4: organize. if you haven’t used it in a year, get rid of it or store it in a sensible manner (i long narrow storage boxes for clothes or whatever. keep them under your bed or where space allows).
tier 5: celebrate mad productivity cuz your place looks great. tier 5 can also involve selling stuff you no longer use/need.
takes maybe an hour? if u have a HUGE house, hire a maid.

correct!
The size of the house isn’t the only variable. Washing dishes and folding clothes take hours if you have 4 peeps living in a single roof. Hiring a maid/janitor is probably the best option for me, since I’m quite too busy to deal with house chores.
