Can I become more organized in 21 days?

So, here is my confession... I am not a clean person.  No, I don't mean personal hygiene, but I hate cleaning and my house is always messy.  I have some very organized friends and I am always getting down on myself about my homes lack of cleanliness.  Now, I want to say from the start, Poy is NOT the problem. He tries very hard to clean, but our routine is not working. So, I have started to read "Sidetracked Home Executives" by Pam Young and Peggy Jones. BTW, they are from Vancouver, WA :) Here is the system in a nutshell:

• Using a 3x5 card box with dividers and cards write down everything that you need to do around the house. (They have a list to help you out)
• You mark the card Daily, Weekly, Monthly etc.
• Everyday you do your tasks on your cards... so I have to clean EVERY day!! You aren't even supposed to leave your house without doing all your tasks.
• When you finish your cards you move them to the next day or week or month...

Anyway, they say it takes 21 days to change a habit, so that is what I am aiming to do.  In the book they actually say not to tell people, in case you don't do well.  I'm going with the opposite theory and if I feel that if I tell people what I'm doing I will push myself harder. So, I'm going to let you all know how I'm doing day by day.

Day 1: Yesterday I did all of my daily tasks (I have 17), and I cleaned all the mirrors in each bathroom, cleaned the oven and dishwasher door, vacuumed downstairs, did a load a laundry, except I have not folded and put it away still. (I swear I'm gonna do it when I'm done blogging) I took inventory of all of Nolan's clothes and removed the clothes that don't fit.

Day 2: Today I did 16 of my daily tasks, I skipped making my bed. Aside from my daily's, I took out the garbage, cleaned all toilets including the potty chair :), mopped all bathroom floors, cleaned all bathroom countertops, polished all faucets, washed my bathroom rugs.  Basically I spent ALOT of time in all 3 of my bathrooms. I also cleaned my microwave inside and out.

I am finding it very helpful to have a routine and know what I need to clean instead of just waiting until it is noticeably dirty.  I have reminded myself many times that although it is hard now and I feel like I'm cleaning all day long (well actually I AM cleaning all day long) it will not be so difficult if I stick with it.

Time to do the laundry...
