Tip #3 from Brenda Bray February 4, 2009

“Time yourself, just one time, on how long it takes to clean the bathroom or empty the diswasher or even clean up the kitchen for the evening. When I realized it only took about five minutes to empty the dishwasher, I could remember in the future that it was not a big task and I could do it as I waited for the children to put their shoes on. I timed myself for the bathroom cleanup and realized most of it can be done while children are in the tub playing. If you are always feeling that there is a mountain to cleanup that will take hours, time it and know in the future it does not take all day.”
