Clean as you go:
While cooking dinner wash the dishes youve already used.
Wipe off the counter as you are done with it.

Let things soak to save time:
Let particularly nasty dishes soak for a few hours so you dont waste time or water scrubbing.
Pour your toilet bowl cleaner in, put the lid down (so any animals you have dont get thirsty) and wipe it down in a few hours.

Use machines that save time and energy:
Before I go out Friday night I throw in a load of laundry. When I get home I switch and go to sleep. By Saturday morning my weekend laundry chore is almost done!
I bought a $30 battery-charged hand held duster. Perfect for quick clean ups like around the litter box. Leaves my vacuuming to once a week for ~5 minutes.
