Here is an idea from the Get Organized Now forums. I hadn't heard about this before reading it on the forums on that site.
Think of your house a tree, and each room is a branch of that tree. Choose a different room each week to clean and declutter. Focus only on that one room for the whole week, and spend a little time each day to clean and declutter as much of it as you can. You can even choose to do a few minutes during commercials if you are watching TV. Or, set a time for 15 minutes at a time multiple times a day. I would recommend doing one drawer and one shelf at a time to keep your stress level down.
Taking a before and after photo will also help give you confidence that you can use to get your whole house clean in no time.
After your week is over, take the weekend off to do whatever you want, or you may choose to continue your project. With a new week comes a new room. Leave the previous room alone unless you finish the current room.
