While I do like living in a clean uncluttered house, I do not want to spend days cleaning that house. I have found that maintaining cleaning routines has really helped me.
The FlyLady website is remarkable in helping establish those routines that become automatic. Your time is valuable and more of it should be spent doing things that you like in a calm and welcoming environment.
