I think the biggest lesson I learned from cleaning this particular portion of my house is that I DO, most likely, need to sweep every day. I also need to clean up small messes -- table crumbs, for example -- immediately after they happen. Very often I get busy and forget. Other times (I'm almost ashamed to say), I intentionally leave the floor and table alone because I know they will just get dirtier, so I wait for an appropriate level of dirt before cleaning. I don't want a clean floor to turn into an obsession; I honestly don't think I can keep it clean for more than a few hours (which is how long nap time lasts). But I don't want to deal with "gross" again, either.
As far as windows, I probably need to clean the inside and outside once every two to three months. I saw a recommendation for twice a year somewhere online, but the weather is pleasant for so long around here that we have them open often, and I don't want dirt, bugs, and dead frogs working their way onto my floors.
Now I just need to figure out the screens and blinds and add them to some sort of rotating schedule as well.
