I wash my dishes from the day before every morning after my coffee, before I make my oatmeal. I keep my basic spaces organized and vacuum every other week, dust every month or so, clean the toilet every 3-4 weeks. If I make an immediate mess (spill something, cat or dog pukes, etc.) I clean it right away. My home is never a mess, if I have a guest getting the place tip-top shape never takes more than an hour or two, max.
