keep my house clean for 6 months

A clean house is spacious, open, inviting… peaceful. My condo tends to be cluttered & messy, which gives it a closed-in, anxious feeling. Over the past week there’s been times when I haven’t wanted to be at home because the messy house was a reminder of all of the areas in my life where I’m currently failing.
I do not want to feel like a failure. I want to feel confident and accomplished. And I believe that having a daily reminder in the form of a clean, peaceful living space will help me feel that way.
I chose six months as my goal for three reasons: (1) I’ve managed to keep my condo clean for up to three months at a time, so this gives me a bit of a challenge; (2) it’s not so long that it feels undoable—six months feels very doable; (3) it’s a concrete time frame, which will allow me to say that yeah, I’ve accomplished this goal; an open-ended time frame wouldn’t.
The first step is to get the darn place clean! I’m off to a good start: I cleaned my library today. Not a thorough cleaning, but most of the clutter has been picked up, and the floor has been vacuumed. I’m hoping to do a basic cleaning of most of the rooms by the end of this week.
