every day set 5 minutes in which you go around the house and throw out/put away as much as you can from the stuff you wouldn't normally get to. Only do whatever you can do in 5 mins

ALL THE TIME. If I have 5 min I do it. If I have 3 min I do it. I walk around when on the phone. I do a trash run the night before garbage pickup. I listen to shiurim or books on tape when doing this. I spend more time decluttering between tu bshvat and purim and during the 3 weeks/ 9 days. It took a few years to get the house clutter free.
PS my youngest is now 10. It was a HUGE job when the kids were little and my house was never decluttered. Toys! Bottles! Tiny clothes and shoes and bags and strollers high chairs etc.

Continuously. But I also usually take legal holidays as cleanup days, mostly for sorting, filing and shredding papers.

I've been following Dana White from A Slob Comes Clean's approach--5 minute pickups when you can, just look at what's in the box/pile so you know what's there, then put a little away/in donation bin at a time. She has a whole book on decluttering, which I haven't read yet, but I definitely got some inspiration from the clutter chapters of her first book and her podcast.

Her books are THE BEST to listen to while decluttering
She's on youtube too.
So is Dawn (The Minimal Mom) and
Cas (Clutterbug)
and
Gail Goddard ( clutterfairy)
Great inspiration playing in the background....

I gave up. I have a list of chores to get to when my youngest kid graduates and moves on to college. Until then, enter at your own risk...

When you make time for decluttering like on an off day from work or on Sundays. Do a little bit at a time.
