That is a great article! I like how it breaks out the pros and cons.
I definitely would not survive for a week on each area. I think the one day for each area might work well. Definitely I think doing something (anything) is better than doing nothing
What seems to work for me is saying that even for 10 minutes I will work on cleaning just one area, and plowing into it. So I go for short term bursts. But the house is a mess so maybe I need a new system
