A Fire drill is needed for those hot spots. You know where ever you dump the mail, kid�s paperwork, piles of books, laundry on the couch and any place where things are piled. Set a timer for 2 minutes and clean. When the timer goes off-stop. Your done for now. You�ll be amazed at how much you can get accomplished in such a short amount of time.
5-minute room rescue. Get a grocery bag and a box or laundry basket. Now set a timer for 5 minutes. Pick the room that needs rescuing today. Start your timer and go for it. Throw away any trash. Now pick up those things that don�t belong in this room and put them in the basket.
When the timer goes off, throw the bag of trash away and put away everything in the box or laundry basket. Everything needs a home. Find it one or get rid of it. Stop holding onto things that take up space and have stopped making you happy.
15-minute de-clutter. Grab a grocery bag and two boxes or baskets. One box or bag is for the things you are getting rid of, and put it in your car so when you are out doing errands you can drop it at a second hand store. Another option is on the curb for those trucks that pick up donations.
Set a timer for 15 minutes. Choose an area, room, drawer, or closet and move your buns. Throw away any trash. Now pick up those things that don�t belong in this room and put them in the basket. Toss the stuff you don�t love anymore in its own box or bag.
When the timer goes off, throw the bag of trash away and put away everything in the box or laundry basket. Put the give away box in the trunk.
