10 Minute Pick-Up

April 26, 2008 |

I took a tip from Lara and my smart habit this week is short and sweet. Every night before I go to bed, I am going to set my kitchen timer for ten minutes. Then, I will spend that time doing a quick pick-up of my house. It will keep me on top of my regular cleaning and I will wake up to a cleaner house. In the unlikely event that my house is already spotless, I can spend that ten minutes doing extra things that rarely get done. For example, spot cleaning the walls, windexing the front door, or giving the bathroom a quick once over. The goal is to spend my last ten minutes down stairs doing something productive.

How about you, do you have any smart habits you would like to start? Share them at Lara’s blog, The Lazy Organizer.
