I\u2019m actually really excited to clean some other stuff I did not get to today. I think 10 minutes everyday works really well instead of tiring yourself out instead of cleaning a lot&#x2F;a long time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Luka P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Honestly, it just depends on what makes you feel better and makes more sense for your schedule. If you find yourself with nothing to do, it could make sense to spend a lot of time cleaning, but if you\u2019re particularly busy, just clean a little bit at a time so you\u2019re still working towards your goals. Good luck !<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jen O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I find it better to clean each day a little bit because it will gives you a feeling that you have done something and the surrounding area will not get out of control messy<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Cody X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start with a little bit. Then add one more place to clean each day. Starting small will give you a sense of accomplishment that you can use to propel you into cleaning the bigger things. Start with something an idiot could clean. Like the excess old toothpaste on your toothbrush. Too easy. And resist the urge to keep going so you don\u2019t burn out the cleaning bug Too fast<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Leroy C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Tidying up and cleaning up a little each day helps reduce the effort when we plan to do a deep clean.<br \/>\nCleaning a little bit each day also keep the environment stress free and you feel accomplished <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alyssa J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Cleaning a little bit each day will help a lot to maintain cleanliness and tidiness , and also can be a good habit.<br \/>\nWhenever you have time and desire , you can clean everything at once.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anthony F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Both.  Do a little each day and a weekly blitz.  For the blitz put on dance music you love and put this mantra in your head.  I love myself enough to create a clean space to live and flourish in. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anita F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think a little everyday is best.  I schedule an hour a day in the afternoon.  So I pick one major thing like a bathroom or the kitchen or washing floors and then I go around the rest of the house for part of that time picking up stuff and neatening.  I hate cleaning so an hour a day doesn\u2019t feel so bad and my house stays neat and clean. And I feel I\u2019ve accomplished something. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Julie U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Make it a part of your daily routine to tidy up every day! Even if you just set a timer for 10 minutes, do as much as you can\u2014wash dishes, pick up the clutter in your room, etc. I used to always let my mess pile up and get overwhelming, which made me even less motivated to clean. You don\u2019t want to get to that point, and you won\u2019t if you do a little bit each day! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hans J Rgen R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer to clean a little bit at a time. I\u2019m not very good at tidying. It sort of intimidates me. So I try to do it in doses. And hopefully one day I\u2019ll be able to do it all at once . <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Louisa P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends.<br \/>\nIf your room is very messy, throw on some music and focus on one piece of your room each day. For instance, Day 1 is your dresser, Day 2 is your nightstands, Days 3 and 4 are your closet, and Day 5 is finishing touches.<br \/>\nBut, if your room just needs a bit of tidying up, I&#39;d just hunker down and get it done. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tony X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Both methods are needed in life. The basics are needed everyday, but to really move forward, I like the Marie Condo method. She recommends focusing on one subject at a time and doing it deeply, ie clothes for instance. Empty all clothes into a pile, then one by one decide if it brings \u201cspark joy\u201d. Keep only items that brings this special joy. Have less, and care for what you have. Then move on to another large focal area, but the basics must be done first to keep the home a pleasant place to live.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Landon T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Both. I like to clean a little everyday so it doesn\u2019t pile up. But on Saturday OR Sunday mornings I\u2019ll make a list of the \u201cdeep cleaning\u201d items and ask my husband and son to pitch in. Only for two hours. We do as much as we can in that time, and that\u2019s it. That way we are all committed to creating a space we like living in, and have enough time to do fun things too.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Brooke B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It is much better to clean a little each day. I usually find that if I leave mess for a few days, it becomes a much more daunting task and I will usually put it off until the mess is huge and it is a mission to clean. So I\u2019d rather clean a little mess each day &#8211; my house also stays clean which makes me feel a lot better about my living space. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Megan O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">In listening to Marie Kondo\u2019s \u201cThe Art of Tidying Up\u201d, it seems that her advice is to do a single, thorough tidying&#8230; after which continual tidying (not chores like laundry, dishes, etc.) will come very naturally as it will be just like putting something away in its place.<\/p>\n<p>Kondo\u2019s philosophy behind tidying by categories of things and not locations in the house (e.g. \u201cWhere are ALL my plasticeware and containers?\u201d vs. \u201cLet\u2019s go through this one drawer of plastic food containers.\u201d) is very helpful. However, the reality of the situation is that a person who puts off a one-off tidy-overhaul is one to also likely dread the continual maintenance and chores that come with keeping a kept castle. <\/p>\n<p>For sure, prevention is better than cure. If you train your kids to not dare leave their backpacks on the couch, or you always remember to put your vinyl back into the crate when you get home from vinyl night, then there\u2019s less cleanup needed. I find though that the state of \u201ccleaning up\u201d is really the state of caring about one\u2019s space and having not only a plan for what that optimal environment would be, but also learning to enjoy the journey of doing the mundane tasks that keep it that awesome.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Julie Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It is good to clean a little bit each day along with having time set out once a week&#x2F;month to do a a full scan to make sure nothing was missed in the daily cleaning, and if there are things being missed daily add them into the routine. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alex O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes because at the end of the week when you are cleaning the house, you do not have to put in as much work because your house will be somewhat clean.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Avery U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A little bit everyday works for me. I try to do at least 15 mins cleaning everyday, celebrate when it\u2019s more but never beat myself up for skipping the odd day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bryan F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think cleaning whenever it needs to be done is better. Putting things away where they belong will prevent the house getting cluttered and will help you be more productive. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anna C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I feel it is better to clean a little bit each day. It spreads out the time and energy responsibility and still allows time for occasional deep cleaning. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Baptiste E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I clean as I go, but one thing that helps is that every morning and every night, I set a timer for 15 minutes. And in that time, I tidy up the house&#8230;wiping counters, putting things away, etc. That way, I\u2019m at least keeping the house clean each day. Then I plan some deep cleaning time throughout the week and set a timer to do those tasks. The timer keeps me on task and I get things done faster because I try to race the clock. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lola F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It is better a little each day so you do not overwhelm yourself while getting into the habit of cleaning. Laundry one day and vacuum the next etc&#8230;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jennifer S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Depending on my mood I often leave it for a while, waiting till I feel like it to clean, then blitzing it all in one go (eg a sink full of washing up). But I think it&#39;s probably better to do a little bit each day, so that I have a cleaner, tidier environment in which to prepare food, run projects, find my stuff, and feel prouder of where I live and like it&#39;s a bit more of a sanctuary. I&#39;m finding that having a time limit and using the countdown timer helps, as I can set manageable blocks of time to do it, which helps particularly when I really don&#39;t feel like it. I&#39;m also finding that combining cleaning (something I don&#39;t want to do) with another activity like listening to a podcast (which I do want to do) makes it more palatable. It turns a dull, mindless, but necessary task into something more engaging and intellectual, and a chance to learn. It&#39;s like reading the papers and getting the house clean at the same time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bendavid Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends on you. If cleaning all day overwhelms you and leaves you feeling drained and grumpy when you\u2019re done, so it bit by bit. <\/p>\n<p>For me though, cleaning is extremely therapeutic, so I tend to do everything in one go over more than a day if needed. Obviously I sleep, eat and shower in between. But I\u2019m left feeling accomplished and clear headed. Like I can breathe again. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Willibald T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would clean a bit each day and not push it too much. But if you\u2019re having guests over the next day or something, I would try to clean as much as I can.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Louise U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like to clean 15 minutes at a time during the week for things like sweeping, vacuum, dust, sinks and toilet and do deep cleaning on the weekends, like scrub the tub, mop, wipe down trim and baseboards. I also don\u2019t leave a room empty handed to keep things decluttered. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Abbie U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">This is personal preference. I use to have a cleaning day, once a week. Problem with that, if something came up the cleaning got postponed. I have also noticed that once there are dishes in the sink, more get added. The same seems to be true for clothe on the floor, etc. At times it felt like such a big job, it became overwhelming.<br \/>\nNow, it feels great to me!! I do a a little every day. I hold my family accountable as well. I use to do it all for everyone, now I have a whiteboard and write all the things down they can help me with (besides their responsibilities, also on the board). I don\u2019t care \u2018when\u2019 they do it but it has to be done before bed. They to have learned to do it right away (everything has a home) instead of last min before bed. Now, I clean as I go, it\u2019s part  of my morning routine.<br \/>\nI just leave the deep cleaning to once a week, like bathrooms, doors, baseboards, door handles, floors, bedding,&#8230;<br \/>\nI hope that helps. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jeremy N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think it\u2019s better to clean as you go. A little goes a long way, even with cleaning. But I also think that you should devote a nice chunk of time to deep cleaning every once in a while.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maddison W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Both. I believe during busy days you can do small things but when you\u2019re free you can clean everything; giving you a clean couple of days.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Claudeci Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think a little bit each day to develop it as a habit. Doing it all at once also requires more time and planning upfront in a busy schedule where cleaning a bit every day is easier to implement <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Suse O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A little bit each day. If you always put back the things that you use or always wash the dishes after cooking, it is much easier to make a habit out of it. Plus your apartment always looks clean. Leaving stuff laying around for days destroys your mood and productivity. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ka S Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">i try to clean a little everyday but because im very incompetent, i usually have to just save one day for a deep cleaning <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Barbara Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I used to prefer to clean all at once, but found I wouldn\u2019t start if I didn\u2019t have enough time to do a really great job. So time went by and the clutter coupled with my lack of  time caused more stress! Now I clean a little bit here and there and only deep clean when I can. But the daily tidiness helps a lot with my over all stress!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tessa S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">it\u2019s better to clean a little every day cause then it takes less time and it easier to make urself do 5 minutes of cleaning every now and then rather than doing 2 hours of cleaning <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hinrich F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It\u2019s certainly a lot easier to clean a little each day. It sounds cliche, but it makes it much easier to chip away at big messes. You can pick a goal for each day and see real progress. It helps you to feel okay that everything isn\u2019t perfect without losing aight of what you ultimately want.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Celina F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It\u2019s better to clean a little bit each day. Why? Because if you know you\u2019re going to clean all at once, the thought of it will become a chore instead of enjoyment&#x2F;mindful and calm. Less stress is good. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tomothy P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019d say a little bit everyday  keep your flat cleaner and your mind at peace &#8211; than a bigger cleaning once every 10 days or so is always needed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Florian E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">In my experience, it\u2019s way better to clean as you go. Try to build the habit of only touching an item once: so, instead of putting a jacket on a chair or table, putting it in the closet or hook right away. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Louane F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">All at once makes it a big task. If you tidy up a bit each day you will more likely do this since it only takes a few minutes. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Erol U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A little bit each day is far more manageable. I find I really love the 10 min tidy up timer because it relieves the stress of having to dedicate hours to cleaning. It also makes me move fast! Be fast and efficient and do a 10 min each day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Amanda Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like to clean in increments. Like ten minutes then take a five minute break etc.  it helps me focus more on the task it\u2019s self <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Victor C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to do a little several times a day<br \/>\nIt feels like a smaller lift.<br \/>\nSpring is a great time to think about what we have and what we can sort out to donate or retire one closet or drawer at a time<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hassan P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Both \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f I personally, can\u2019t keep it up all the time, therefore it becomes necessary to do a bigger cleaning. And in general big cleaning is nice with longer intervals of time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Valdemar C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think when your in the \u201cMarie Kondo Mode\u201d you should get as much cleaning done as possible. However, on regular days just clean until you get tired or have finished a task.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Suzanne E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends on your schedule  and how much cleaning you have to do.   Personally I find it hard to do a lot of cleaning at once for various reasons so I try to do a little of it 3-4 times a week after work and some on the weekend.   But I don\u2019t want to spend most of my weekend cleaning. I need time for exercise and play. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sara Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Clean as you go. Put each thing away in its place after you use it. Wipe surfaces as soon as your finished. Make your bed after airing it for a few minutes ( the time to shower) and you are already ahead and winning the clean and tidy home game\ud83d\ude01<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Denise Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me and I think most people, it\u2019s better to clean a little bit each day. That way you aren\u2019t overwhelmed with everything that piles up after some time. It\u2019s easier to do one task a day that takes 15 minutes than having to do the whole house that takes a whole day. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ali E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think a good clean up can set you up to be able to clean a little each day. Until that big cleanup, a little each day can make a big difference \ud83d\ude42 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dayane G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It\u2019s is better to eat a elephant piece by piece than to try an eat it whole.

But I try to ler everything organized in the others days <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Valdete W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have struggled with this one for YEARS, and about 12 years ago tried a routine with set chores each day of the week which resulted in one complete cleaning spread across the week. It worked really well for me and I kept it up for about a year. Then we moved, life changed etc and I never got that going well again until this year\u2014 I am currently doing a routine with daily chores and weekly chores. When I stick to this, I usually have a clean house and the weekends \u201coff!\u201d As long as you pick up clutter daily and do a daily wipe down of surfaces (kitchen and bathroom counters,) the \u201clittle at a time\u201d works great. Warning that it takes time to get there\u2014 be patient with yourself. It took me two weeks to get to a place where the daily cleaning only took about 20 minutes and the house at any given point in time felt and looked clean. Check out housekeeping blogs for schedule ideas and adapt it to you and your life. And DELEGATE! If you have kids, it should be very easy in a \u201clittle bit daily\u201d routine to assign chores that won\u2019t overwhelm them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bella Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Each day definitely. I feel like when you do it all at once its a bigger, longer, and less approachable task. When you do a little bit more often, I feel like its easier to manage and less stress free.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hartmut E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019d say it\u2019s better to do it all at once, although that may depend on what kind of person you are. For me personally, if I\u2019d do little each day it would be easier to \u201cescape\u201d it or the first space I cleaned would have become cluttered again when I finished the last one. I would say that finding a good playlist with motivating music and just finding the time to do it is the best way to tackle cleaning and get it done, and then you\u2019ll feel so much better when you sit down in your newly cleaned space<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Phillip U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think if you don\u2019t do a little each day then it can get overwhelming. So every evening I try to leave things at least as clean as they were in the morning. But I do save the bigger jobs (laundry, vacuuming) for weekends. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Terra E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Definitely a little every day! This way you make a good habit out of it and when you have more time, you will clean the hard stuff that takes longer. It&#39;s a lot easier to postpone cleaning of you don&#39;t to it regularly. I&#39;m saying this from my own experience \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nIt will seem hard until you make it a habit but the Golden rule is &quot;don&#39;t skip twice&quot;.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bertolino Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Cleaning everyday is better than all at once.

Clutter leads to chaos in my life. I feel focused and less anxious when things are neat and tidy. I try to put stuff away when I am done with it.

Simplify and declutter your environment so you spend less time worrying about it and keeping it all in order. If you have the budget, get a house cleaner every couple of weeks  or each week<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Regina P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It really depends on your schedule and lifestyle. When I was a stay at home mom I cleaned a little each day so I had time with the kids. Now that I work full time I spend a morning in the weekend cleaning because that is the only time I really have. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Emy W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\"> When I reflect on whether it is \u201ceasier \u201cto clean a little late stay plowed through things all at once my initial response is to plow through things all at once. In reality, it\u2019s not a good method of cleaning. At my home, it doesn\u2019t tend to be as warm and inviting It could be, because I put off but I could do today till tomorrow. Cleaning a little bit each <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dwight Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It is better to clean a little bit each day than all at once. The reason I believe this is because I\u2019ve done both and I find that little bit each day sets you up for success and more sustainable effort. In addition, waiting to clean all at once doesn\u2019t help to build the habit of cleaning. You may end up piling things up for when you do that big cleaning (resulting in more mess over time). You put things off and then the task becomes even more overwhelming. What I find that helps is focusing on an area and time boxing it to 10-35 minutes \u2014 which is a good way of tackling what can sometimes feel like a daunting task. If you do it more often in smaller chunks this can also help build the habit of cleaning.  I hope this helps answer your question. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Charlotte O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I clean a little bit each day because a clean home is welcoming, gives me a good feeling when I come home, and is less stressful to clean. I tend to put things away right away.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Laura W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Marie Kondo says we should do a major cleaning once to clear out negative energy, which enters our lives in the form of clutter.And then we should clean a little every day. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hector Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019ve found out that a little everyday gives you more peace of mind. When you do it all at once, means that you haven\u2019t done it for a while and that in that while you\u2019re living in a messy environment that it\u2019s not healthy for you, mentally and maybe even physically. So keep in mind that you want a nice place around you and you can make it better a little every day. Maybe you want to make a big clean up once, and then keep it like that dedicating a few minutes daily afterwards&#8230; whatever you decide, keep it up and make a habit of it. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jeremy Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It\u2019s better to clean as you go so you won\u2019t be in crisis mode.  I am overly scheduled and have been letting things build up and it keeps me from relaxing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Charlene U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">i prefer cleaning up a little every day, so i don\u2019t have to do it all at once in one day and feel overwhelmed and keep postponing it. the bigger the laundry&#x2F;dishes&#x2F;papers pile, the more scary it looks. it\u2019s easier to wash one plate and fork right after you eat rather than wait for the sink to be full over the top. i mean, that works for me now. before it used to be the other way around, i would do a major clean up once a week or two. and only do the dishes when i had no clean ones left. just do whatever feels more like you, both ways are perfectly fine as long as you feel comfortable<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lyna P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think cleaning a bit at a time is better because then you aren\u2019t overwhelmed with all of the work you have to do. It\u2019s just like leaving your homework to the last minute. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Thiago N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A little bit each day works for me. I can get I overwhelmed if I put it in the all at once timeline &#8211; and that typically occurs on a weekend when I have time. However, I\u2019m committed to my downtime, and spending a day cleaning on a day off simply doesn\u2019t work. It took a few times noticing the effects of trying to do it all at once &#8211; my old pattern &#8211; before I broke down the cleaning, cleaning up into shorter bursts through the week. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Franklin O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think, its better to clean little bit every day. Because it creates routine and habit. To clean little bit is easy. To clean All at once sometimes feel overhelming and it is easy to procrastinate. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Storm C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would say that it would be better to plan a day where you would only be cleaning all day, and from that day you would only have to clean a little everyday<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gorete Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The best solution to messy rooms is to clean frequently as it gives you the sense of cleanliness than having a messy room all week <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jamie P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Clean a little bit each day. Even though cleaning a lot really does help me feel better when I am having a rough day, cleaning a little bit each day helps you to prioritize your day and really make use of the time you have.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alexander Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me, definitely a little each day. If I put it off and try to do it all at once it seems overwhelming and I put it off even longer. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elio E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019ve always cleaned all at once but  my perfectionism makes me overwhelmed just thinking about cleaning because I know it will take so much time to clean everything the way I want to which in turn leads to no cleaning which in turn leads to me feeling even worse about myself and telling myself hat I\u2019m useless. SO it is better to clean a little bit every day. I\u2019m still trying to implement that though.. it\u2019s very difficult when you\u2019re mindset is \u201call or nothing\u201d&#8230;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rebecca E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">During the work week, I try to keep my space tidy and neat so I can focus, which usually takes 10-20 minutes a day. But I like to spend an hour or two cleaning with more intention when I have time. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Martin P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I see neither being better than the other. If you have time for a deep clean then perfect&#8230;if you only have time for a whizz round then that\u2019s perfect too!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mabel X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Commit to a small chunk of cleanup or organization &#8211; day, two minutes, with the promise to give that length of time your complete attention. Often you will get into a groove and power through. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been cleaning up for 10 minutes nightly while listening to the \u201cfabulous moment\u201d soothing music. Things are improving little by little. If you over do it, say hours of cleanup, you run the risk of building a negative association with how hard it was, and your next session will be pushed further and further. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Emily Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A little bit is way better because you cannot do too much or on the other day you\u2019ll feel better that you haven\u2019t accomplished enough <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">L Andro T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I personally think that it\u2019s better to clean a little bit each day &#8230;cleaning all at once can be plentiful and demotivating. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bernice F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">a little bit each day, unless you\u2019re feeling super productive. if you really don\u2019t like cleaning, do a little bit at a time<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Amy J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think cleaning a whole room&#x2F;area per day and moving to another the next day is what works for me. I don\u2019t like to tackle my whole apartment at once, I end up getting burnt out too quickly. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Irmtraud F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me, a little each day helps me have a routine. I do that each day and then I add a little bit more in the form of another area. I change that area each day and find that parts of those can become a small extension of my daily routine, too without adding in too much more time.<br \/>\nMy goal is to keep the clutter put away, in general. So I designate a place for stuff as I pick it up and put it away. My house looks neat most of the time. Then, about every 3 months, I do a deep clean of 1-2 rooms at a time, using vacuum tools, wood conditioner, even a toothbrush etc. I touch pretty much every surface, including the walls and ceiling. That takes me about 4 hours on 3 consecutive days. It feels fantastic to be in a room and know it is as clean as anyone could make it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">David P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well I can get completely swept away with cleaning and prioritise it over things that have more priority. I think the answer is to clean up the daily things daily like dishes and hygienic stuff. But really do the balance all at once when it needs it. I usually invite someone over when my house needs cleaning then I have a time limit to get it done before they arrive;)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Adam F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Depends on your time and if you\u2019re in the mood. Sometimes for me it\u2019s little by little in the week&#8230; and in the weekend its all at once. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Zehra X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It is better to clean a little bit each day, this way you don\u2019t feel overwhelmed, especially if you have a busy schedule already. Tackling things one small bit at a time is the way to go. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Danny W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A little bit of tidying every day stops the mess building up and makes your brain feel calmer. Then once a week you can do a clean of floors and things that take a bit longer.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Eddie E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends on your personality AND the task at hand. Little resets throughout the day help the house stay clean. But big projects (for me) need to be tackled all at once. I\u2019m too nostalgic and if given too long I will sit in the memories and not get the job done. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alicia F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I used to be an all at once cleaner. However I found I really hated cleaning after a while because I would be spending a whole day cleaning and scrubbing in order to be thorough, that I eventually kept putting it off until I just would avoid it altogether. I would say that a little bit at a time (a room or a task or two each day) is a better way to work. Every now and then, maybe bi-monthly, I think it would be worthwhile to do a spring clean and get it all done. But as a rule, I\u2019d stick to manageable chunks. Particularly if you\u2019re a worker, have a family or medical reasons taking up your time! Good luck. Cleaning is the worst!

It\u2019s good to clean every week or month all at one time to get small things or things you may not normally clean or straighten up. Cleaning up a little every day helps me be more organized and have a clear mind throughout the day ! It can be for only 10 minutes but that\u2019s a lot of time for you to make your environment more organized!\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Calisto B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I honestly think that it\u2019s better to clean a little bit each day because you can plan it out for example: today I will clean the dishes, tomorrow I will do all the laundry etc.. and you don\u2019t want to make yourself tired, you have to at least have some fun after cleaning.. I think you will become more organized and more relaxed  if you do a little each day other than do it all at once <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Adri O Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think it is better to do this with small parts. Every evening after work I clean up my room, clothes, cosmetics and etc. Today I plan to clean up my earrings box. Good luck, to everyone<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alana Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I tend to clean twice per day. Once during the afternoon &amp; night. Personally I feel that it is better for me to clean a little bit each day to prevent dust or dirt build-up.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anna T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A little every day helps me stay on top of it. It means that mess doesn\u2019t accumulate over a few days &#8211; which for me, makes me feel like my home isn\u2019t stress free. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rayan E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Depends on how motivated you\u2019re feeling, I typically like to do a little each day so I\u2019m not overwhelmed and feel like I got something done even if it was only a small thing \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Eckart E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It\u2019s not so much a right or wrong way to clean. As on most subjects, it depends on the perspective. Are you tired and just want to go to bed and rest, then you might give yourself some slack. If you are tired of the mess, you might want to go \u2018beast mode\u2019 and start to clean! (-: <\/p>\n<p>If your question is one of a weekly (returning task), you do what works for you. <\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that to keep your house (?), carage (?), need to be maintained so you might want to keep that in mind. <\/p>\n<p>Also, if you seeking guidelines to ajust your current \u2018cleaning habit\u2019 see if it works to choose two day\u2019s so you are reminded your cleaning habits. Do what\u2019s  needed to be proud at yourself. See how that works.

The power through days for me are when I have to do laundry, emptying the dishwasher, and cleaning up the house in general. Most of my days are filled with making my bed, cleaning the kitchen, and finding a small side project that can be done in less than an hour, like organizing shelves or cleaning the bathroom.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Faith G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I find a little at a time as it\u2019s more achievable than going for a big ambitious goal.
