Welcome to week #1 of our cleaning tips & checklists. Our tips, challenges or checklists won't be the "unreasonable" kind....but ones for you busy women on the go! Please enjoy this week's cleaning challenge and please be sure to check back next week for another and a checkup to see how this week's cleaning challenge was.
Week #1 Cleaning Challenge:
Time to get rid of the messy rooms, unorganized closets and those other "ignored projects" ... and it only takes 5 minutes a day!
(no, these pictures aren't from my house....but I do have a few closets and cabinets to work on myself :)
Spend 5 minutes (10-15 if you can make time) a day cleaning out and organzing your worst room, closet, drawers or cabinets. You know what these areas are: the places you never allow anyone to see. Just spend 5 minutes (at least....add a few addtional minutes if time allows) a day for the next 27 days working through these hidden places. You will see a huge difference and realize just how much you can accomplish if you steadily work and re-organize these places that you constantly dread just a few short minutes a day!
If you'd like, try my favorite cleaning method "THE TIMER METHOD" in different areas of your house each day ... IE: 15 minute timer on the dreaded closet one day, 10 minute timer on the awful office and stacks of papers to sort through another day, etc. I love this method! You will realize that you can accomplish so incredibly much in a just a few minutes and feel great about it.
ENJOY and happy cleaning!

Thanks Lizzy! This is a great tip. I actually started my "dreaded" cleaning out of those hidden places on Saturday. Well on my way! Have a simply Marvelous Monday!
