Have your husband finish your son's room and the fence...since they are both almost done he may be motivated after he finishes them to do another 45% on your bedroom and bathroom before he gets to the garden...which I will assume will take him the entire summer to do 1/2.

I just keep losing my mind, never remember where I,ve dusted it to.
I think it might be in the bathroom now, at least it,s clean I suppose.
I usually start at the roof with a power washer and work my way down, I live on the top floor so it,s always something for the neighbours below to moan about, crabbit b******s.
My secret is, don,t move the ornaments, if you do you,ll reveal copious amounts of dust, but one good power wash per year clears all this until the next year in my opinion, it takes a while to dry but if you leave your windows open for a few months it,s not a big problem, sometimes I even do my laundry in the same year, if I can be bothered of course, mainly I,m a bi,annual laundry guy, wash when the Fleas start to complain about the smell, if you know what I mean?
Hope this helps, would appreciate your feedback.

Our fence (Which is an amazing Craftsman style work of art) is 90% complete. My son's room is 95% complete. Our bathroom, master bedroom project is 45% complete. Our vegetable garden project was 60% complete but now needs to be changed (He has a new and improved idea), so it is 9% complete. I am loosing it. I just want a clean and neat house. I need help in real life.... just like the people we help.

Fishlet, I wish you all the luck in the world, I am so sorry your sister has passed away, I know how hard it is to let go, I have lost both parents, my mother only 4 years ago, (seems like yesterday does'nt it?). The things your sister willed to you, hold on tight to them until you are ready to decide what you want to do, you will know when, for me it felt like letting go of a breath I did'nt know I was holding. And I have only touched the tip of the ice-berg, but thats O.K, one step at a time, dont tell your-self off, just thinking about it, is the first step, and now you have taken a second step, by simply asking, and you are on your way to a third step by seeking help. Good for you Fishlet. And now how about a Chinese proverb?? (I'm afraid I have a weakness for these!) - here goes - "eat a frog for brekfast, and IF there are two, eat the ugliest one first!" Meaning of course, get the unpleasant part of your day out of the way first, but you worked that one out. Good luck Fishlet, keep on keeping on. x

It sounds like you have a problem hoarders have (& I speak from personal experience! ), I think they call it a rotating shuffle, where by you go in a room, see a pile, feel overwhelmed, pick something up, put it down, pick something else up, put it down, do this for a while, feel your getting nowhere, give up. I find it best to pick one room, just one, start in a corner, (does not matter which one) pick something up and deal with it, do not be tempted to put it down, if its junk take it out and throw it away, if can be re-cycled do it, when the corner is clear move either right or left and deal with stuff as you go. Do not allow yourself to wander off, make sure you take a break after 20 mins, for 40 mins. Now this sounds like you wont get much done, but you will be amazed how stuff goes. As for cleaning, when you have one room tidy, dust, sweep, polish - done!

I donate items as if there is no tomorrow... to the diabetes foundation, big brothers and something else that is new. I pack up boxes of items, label them and have them on the porch by 8 am.
What I truly have left is a house filled with original art and my son's toys... Items my husband won't throw away and a lot of things that were willed to me by my sister (who passed away two and a half years ago at the age of 45), that I actually am having a very difficult time letting go of.
Your advise is good but now that I have read the answers, I truly think I need professional help.
Wish me luck... and when I have a handle on it I will definitely do it your way.

I have tried the Windex hose end sprayer for doing our windows (on the outside, as it makes quite a mess inside) and it is a big help. The windows tilt in, but this is much quicker. Somehow, clean windows motivate a cleanup. Maybe because the daylight comes in, showing the interior clutter and dirt?

When you clean for 10 or 15 minutes, as opposed to an hour or more, cleaning doesn't seem overwhelming. Turn some music on and do this a few times a day so everything gets done. Choose CD's instead of the radio to keep you on track. No commercial interruptions makes it easier to keep the beat while cleaning.
