The simplest one trick rule to a clean house I've learned:
When you do/use something, don't put it down, put it away. Apply this rule to everything and you'll, in theory, always have a clean house.
Example. Eat some snacks? Put them away as soon as you're done. Finished watching TV on the couch, fix pillows and throw blankets as soon as you're done. Right after dinner, rinse dishes and put them in the dishwasher (saves time anyways cuz you don't need to deal with stuck food). Roll out of bed? Make the bed immediately.
Everytime you do a task, put things away once done using it, make it a habit and you'll just have a perpetually clean house. Then just vacuum and do laundry on one of your days off once a week.
