For the new year I decided I wanted to get my weekends back and not spend them cleaning and doing laundry the whole two days.
I would spend most of Sunday doing laundry meanwhile doing a whole week's housework and meal prep. Don't get me wrong, I still do a couple of loads of laundry and a little housework but it's not nearly as bad as it was before Christmas.
A couple of months ago I learned about Stephanie's 5X5 from the Secrect Slob and it is a game changer! 25 minutes, 5 minutes per room or task and that's it! Clink the link below to watch this amazing strategy.

I figured I can clean for 25 minutes at a time even during the week. So I decided to do a 5X5 Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Every time I do a 5X5 I always include the kitchen, vacuuming, and dusting because it is much easier when those items are being maintained rather than only once a week. The other 10 minutes are designated for deep cleaning and the bathrooms (on Saturday). I plan ahead which deep cleaning activities I plan to do for 5 minutes each. Deep cleaning has always been a problem for me, I never feel as though I have time to get it done. Believe it or not, 5 minutes really does help even if I have to come back to finish it another day.
Yesterday I did a 5X5 (Kitchen clean-up, vacuum, dust, 2 bathrooms), 5 minutes each.
