Write Things Down.

Always, keep a small notepad on hand. When you think of something you need to do, jot down a reminder. This will save you endless minutes recalling just what you were supposed to do.

Dusting

Try dusting cloth lampshades with a lint roller. It works quickly and effectively without the hassle of a vacuum.

Slip an old unmatched sock on your hand and dust as you go =D

Let some things slide.

A reality of life is you can’t do it all. Everything you do doesn’t have to be an A+ performance.

A Little Time Each Day...

Spend a little time tidying each day: Because cleaning is a physical activity, it actually provides a mood lift =D

Just Say No

Cut out activities that drain energy and time. Ditch regular get-togethers that have become little more than a habit and don't waste energy on people who take without giving anything back.

"Saying no is the most effective method of gaining time and energy,” says life coach Suzy Greaves.

The Two Minute Rule: If you can do something it two minutes or less, do it right now.

Hang it up, throw it away, recycle it, put it back where it belongs, make the phone call, or note the date on the calendar. Whatever, deal with it right now!


Thinking, “I’ll get back to that”, or “I’ll take care of that later” creates clutter.
And clutter is evidence of decisions deferred.

Using the Two Minute Rule keeps things from piling up, getting misplaced or lost, gets you in the habit of putting things where they belong so that when you need them again you’ll know exactly where they are.
