Kitchen: Before you start cooking, make sure your sink is filled with hot soapy water. While you're cooking, clean up the dishes you have used so far. In the end, you won't have a whole mess to clean up.
Living Room: Feather dust everyday. It's relaxing, and it keeps the place feeling fresh. I always get the tops of my ceiling fans when I dust. Then, it will never end up being a big project to get on a ladder and clean it off in spring.
Hallway/Entrance: People tend to throw their keys and junk in an area like this. Locate the area people throw things when they first come home, and clean it up twice a day. That way, you can prevent the 'junk drawer' before it happens.
Bedroom: Make your bed first thing every day.
Bathroom: Clean up while you're getting ready. Keep cleaning supplies in the bathroom. Wipe up the tub, sink, and toilet as you are getting dressed for the day. Then, your bathroom will always be ready for company.
I got these habits from www.flylady.org
I figured I'd type up my take on her habits, since their website is really wordy.

It is a wordy website but good advice. I've always tried to clean as I go along with my daily routine - it really works! My mom, who is super clean, is a messy cook. I always tell her to clean as she's cooking & then there won't be a big mess to take care of after we eat. She doesn't.
