My instinctive method is to let things build up until I can't stand it anymore and go on a cleaning tear. But I have to admit, the constant routine maintenance method I've been trying the last couple of months does work better and result in a pretty non-embarrassing baseline level of cleanliness.
Who knew that making your bed every morning actually could make such a big difference?
Also, yesterday the front page story in our newspaper was the cafeteria where I work getting renovated. Seriously?
I should go back to Flylady. I did it for a year, and then just couldn't take it anymore. Not sure why.
So far I'm only consistently doing the dishes, but it makes a big difference.

Oooh, and that! I *do* also make the bed every morning now, too!

Also, I got a little holder for my bus/subway pass that's on a long cord; I've tethered it to my purse so I don't lose it, although fishing it out (grabbing the cord and pulling) can be a problem when it's at the bottom of the pile.

It is costing $6 million dollars, which I think is sort of ridiculous. It currently looks like a cafeteria. Now they want to give it a more open air/restaurant feel. I LIKE cafeterias.
I do the dishes from the night before every morning before I go to work so we start the day with a clean sink. That way I can soak anything which needs it overnight. Also, it doesn't cut into my valuable slounging around watching the TV time. The DH makes the bed every day, which is fair, as he sleeps an extra hour, the big slacker.
I also have not figured out how not to get totally wet from my neck to crotch while washing dishes.
I don't get *totally* wet, but I generally get my shirt pretty wet. I had to stop putting on my nightshirt before I washed the dishes, because I would just have to change into a new DRY nightshirt when I was done.
Here's a sexy concept I'm just going to toss out: apron. Eh?
Ha! I was going to make the same suggestion.
I get my sleeves wet, even if I roll them up.
