Each night before bed, my family spends a few minutes cleaning or straightening something in the house. Sometimes papers get filed, sometimes dishes get washed, sometimes a load of laundry goes in. Now my cleaning time is cut down because each day I spend less than 30 minutes doing some cleaning!
Small things that take a few minutes:
-cleaning the baseboards in one room
-dusting two ceiling fans
-hand washing dinner dishes
-wiping shelves in the fridge
-starting a load of laundry
-emptying all the wastebaskets
-taking one pile of "junk" and putting it all in the correct places!
