Free Advice

If you spend an entire week on a home reno project - strip the wall paper, patch, skim coat and sand the walls, install and prime the molding, three coats of paint - and decide when cleaning up to really go to town - dusting, polishing, etc., we'd suggest, based on our own experience, that you flip the mattress and dress the bed and windows before you polish the floors (which in your enthusiasm and delight as the end of the project nears you will do perhaps excessively). Otherwise, you will risk life and limb as you slide around the room, trying to get the fitted sheets on, when you are really, really tired.
