I cleaned on Wednesday night for company, and have made sure that it’s clean every night before I go to bed. Woohoo!
How to clean my house more often
It made me
cleaner! 
"Discipline."
How I did it: When I was growing up, I never had any chores. I lived in an absolutely filthy house (it's a long story...), and I was never taught how to keep a clean house, so this goal has been kind of important to me.
When I moved out of my mother's house, I had a hard time living with other people, simply because I never had the discipline to clean up after myself.
It has taken me living with my sisters children, a neat freak, and two very dis-organized people to learn how to keep the house clean. Finally, now that I'm living on my own, I'm learning that the house doesn't have to be an absolute wreck in order for me to clean it up.
Lessons & tips: Discipline! Creating rules for yourself, such as: not going to bed until all of the dishes are clean and everything is put away.
Resources: Comet, 409, windex, sponges, and paper towels. That's all you need!

I will have had plenty of time to do my homework, work out, veg in front of the television, AND clean the house. I can do it!

That I am more consistent. But I would like to step it up a notch.

I’ve been doing enough to housework to survive (washing the dishes in the sink when I need to eat, doing the bare minimum of laundry in order to wear clean clothes….). I think every single pair of shoes I own are scattered about my living room. I’m glad I have no company at the moment….
This is yet another thing I hope to accomplish over the next day….if I have the energy…

I did my dishes for the first time in about 2 weeks! YAY!!! It was getting ridiculous. I also got all of my dirty socks off the floor and did 2 loads of laundry last night. Maybe this would be easier if I shared my living space with someone. Or if I had time to spend at home and clean….Somehow, I feel that this is a lofty goal….but I’m not going to give up!

People who respect themselves shouldn’t live in a mess. Why am I living in a mess?

I spent 4.5 hours cleaning after I got home from class last night. The only thing left to be done is scrubbing the tub baby! It’s lovely in there!

I’ve been working too much, sleeping too little, and not taking care of my home or myself. I was incredibly sick this last week and spent 3 days at home in a filthy house. I’d like to say I’ll clean tomorrow, but I have 2 papers and a 15 minute speech due tomorrow night…..I really do want to keep this up.
My goal inside this goal for the next week: clean a little bit at a time.

I’ve got to give myself some credit…I haven’t let dishes sit in the sink overnight for about 2 weeks now. I wash everything before I go to bed. I’ve made sure I put everything away before I leave the kitchen….now to do this with the rest of my living space!

I'm good at cleaning the house....

but I’m finding that keeping it that way is very hard. I start to either A)become lazy and not do anything, or B)become OCD and focus too much on the details. Either way, I’m starting to be more frequent with my cleanings, which is a step in the right direction.
