Pick an area and concentrate on that area until it is clean. DO NOT get side tracked into another area. When you decide on the area go and look at it, don't touch anything at first, just look at it. See what the cluter is, is it things that should be somewhere else or are they in the right room just not in thier place. Who puts it there, why is it not put in its place. Does it need to be thrown out? Just look at it for a few minutes uninteruped. If you need to move things to other areas get a box or bag so you make less trips. How much time will it take you to clean/unclutter this area? Time yourself. The goal at hand is to clean this area, work efficently. Do not leave you area until you have everything that does not belong collected and by the door. Do not try to put the things away that you remove from the room, just put them in a pile close to the door. When the space is done you can bring the other items to where they belong. How long did it take? Remember, you are timeing yourself and working against the clock. If you get done early reward yourself, if you took too long, why?

Good Goal!!I created a schedule for myself so that I get my chores done, but don't feel like I always have to be doing them (since there is always more to do). It works pretty well, but I am still stuck doing chores more than 5 hours. But my house isn't as dirty, and I don't feel quite so overwhelmed.
