Cleaning is the worst. Cleaning especially sucks when you feel like you've wasted your entire Saturday doing it . . . which is exactly why I came up with this one-hour formula for tidying your ENTIRE abode. Simply turn on your best cleaning playlist [1], set a timer, and get crackin'! This requires snappy movements since you've only got 10 minutes per room, so you'll probably have to save your jigs with the broom for a later time.
(Disclaimer: This may not work if a) your house is the size of Kris Jenner's or b) a tornado appears to have ripped through it. In which case, yes, you'll have to spend a bit more time decluttering [2].)
