It’s Saturday.  If you have children, they’re home making messes.  Maybe your husband is home from work today.  You have more dishes, more laundry, more everything than during the week.  Don’t worry, it’ll be ok.

Or maybe you’re single, or married without children, but your schedule opens up on the weekend and you go, go, go without giving much thought to the state of your home while you’re away.  Again, don’t worry, in just ten minutes you can make a big difference in your weekend.

Remember to set the timer for 10 minutes aaaaaaand go!

  • Place old newspapers and magazines in the recycle bin.
  • Place any dishes in the dishwasher or sink to be washed.
  • Vacuum the floor (and upholstered furniture if you feel extra energized).
  • Water the plants.
  • Straighten any bookshelves.
  • Clean the picture window and the television screen.
  • (Families w/children) remove any toys from this room that do not have a container to hold them.
  • Put the CD’s & DVD’s back in their cases and put them away on the shelves/cabinets.
  • Clean off all flat surfaces.

Now, go and have a really great weekend.
