Thanks to Flylady, I am reminded of the 5 minute room rescue. This is where you set your timer for 5 minutes and do a quick clean up. Don’t get the duster out. Just put things away and tidy up. Part of Thrifty Mommy’s original plan was to save you time [...]

That's a great tip. Sometimes I get overwhelmed looking at all that needs to be done to keep things to level of "neat and clean" that I like...but never seem to be at.

5-15 minutes a day seems doable...and especially since I got a roomba. I can let the roomba do the floors while I tidy up and straighten things out. Clutter seems to be my sorst enemy so I this pla will be really helpful. Now I just have to stick to it.

I've definitely got five minutes
to tidy up everything.

My best trick is to keep a Sterlite
container (or Rubbermaid box) in the
livingroom corner and use it as
a catch all.

Works great for toys and loose papers/magazines
if I've only got a minute or two to clean.

Then I can get everything sorted to the right
place later.
