I used to clean around the clock but now that I have one of those new fangled radio alarms with the numbers on it I give the clock the finger.

I have had a cleaning gal for about 4 years now, and would get a job myself to afford her if needed!!!

I can understand "around the clock" horizontally around the house, starting in one corner of the room and continuing around, going top to bottom, obviously, but I don't know about "around the clock" vertically. I get the 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock but what about 7 to 12?

I'm a bit crazy, I know that vacuuming or sweeping the floor should be last, but I do it twice. Once before I start cleaning, and then after I'm done, so I can see all the stuff on the floor and feel that I accomplished something. Even though it's "more work" it satisfying to me, haha!

We all have to do what works for us. I'm not known for my housekeeping skills, so I can't really offer any advice that's for sure!

I'm very lazy. I try not to make a mess so I don't have to clean.
