C.,
I tried the flylady thing for a while, but it ended up being too overwhelming. I would imagine that a dry erase or a weekly schedule would bother me, too. I'd be working on the kitchen, one day, and would end up overflowing into the laundry room (since that's tomorrow, anyway), getting exhausted/frustrated/overwhelmed.
What has worked for me, is making flip cards, one for every job that you feel is a priority. For instance, mine include:
Kitchen, Bathrooms, Floors, Office, Front Room, Family Room, Toy Room, Guest Room, Daughter's room, Master Bedroom, Master Bath, Laundry Room.
Because I'm only physically looking at one flip card or one room/job per day, it's not so overwhelming, and it helps me to focus on just that one room. I have only twelve cards, so I know that everything will get touched, at least every two weeks.
Best wishes and luck!
