Our office is our catch-all for stuff that doesn't go anywhere else. I have been working on getting it organized. My partner pretty much refuses to throw anything (papers, receipts, old games, old game manuals to games which we no longer own) so I have to be sort of sneaky about it. I tell him what I want to throw away and if he doesn't object, I do it when he is sleeping.
As for actual cleaning, I don't like doing it in a marathon. Rather, I clean in stages. One night as I clean the kitchen, I will clean the microwave or organize the cabinets. One night as I get ready for bed, I'll wipe down the bathroom. When I get up in the morning, I tidy my bedside area. It makes it so much more manageable for me.
When I do take on major cleaning, I have to have music! Everything is better with music (and bacon). Crank up the tunes and you can dance as you clean.
