I'm expecting many of these items will only take five to ten minutes of your time. So you might be able to squeeze these in even on a busy day. The time spent will make a difference!
- Remove old magazines and newspapers for recycling
- Clean your stove top
- Wipe down the front of your dishwasher
- Toss washable rugs in the washer
- Wipe the dashboard in your vehicle
- Clean out your purse and/or wallet
- Toss any old food hiding in your refrigerator
- Declutter the top of your night stand
- Dust a lampshade (I use a sticky type lint roller)
- Wipe the front of your television
- Clean at least one section of your sliding glass door
- Wipe the door knobs of the door you used the most
- Wash and put away heavy coats if it seems the cool weather has past
- Vacuum a bedroom
- Sweep the the laundry floor
- Clean the kitchen faucet
- Gather up all pens and pencils throughout the house
- File a few pieces of paper you been neglecting
- Clean off the TV stand or coffee table
- Declutter old toiletries from bathroom or closet
- Take charity items to your car, so you can drop off next time it's convenient
- Review one food cupboard for expired foods
- Review medicines for expiration
- Clean one toilet
- Review what you store in your shower
- Wash one or more throw blankets
- Declutter the items on the front and sides of refrigerator
- Clean the bathroom mirror
- Clean the bathroom sink
It's so easy to put off cleaning and decluttering because we have convinced ourselves we don't have time. It's true that cleaning a bathroom fully might take thirty minutes, but cleaning the mirror and a toilet may only take five. A little bit of effort does add up to making a difference. If I remember, I'll chime in later in the week with the small tasks I completed!
What other small or fast tasks do you do on a regular basis?
