Racing through Chores
 This week is cleaning theme week at Works for Me Wednesday. I have already made a few Works for Me Wednesday posts with some of my cleaning tips. Here's our Chore Chart, and just last week I posted on Dividing Cleaning Tasks. You may think that I like to clean. But I really don't. I just like the end results. There are some chores that I am particularly likely to procrastinate. My tip today is for those little chores that you tend to put off because "you don't have enough time right now." (I'm not talking about cleaning out the garage!)
Time yourself doing the chore.
Really. See how long it takes. I was amazed one time when I was heating something in the microwave while I was unloading the dishwasher. I finished the entire dishwasher while I was waiting! What about folding a load of laundry? It can be done in 5 minutes!
A way to take this just a step further is to have a race doing a chore. I started having a race with my daughter while putting sheets on my bed. My job is to put all the sheets on while she is putting all 4 pillow cases on. We actually have fun and it is a way to get the chore down even faster! You can even race against the clock if you can't convince anyone to race with you.
On your mark...Get set...Clean!
