I decided to set a timer for fifteen minutes, I was going to sweep and mop as many rooms in the house as I could before the timer went off. I did My kitchen, and both my bathrooms, and went on to fold half a load of laundry before the timer went off. Do you know that bathrooms, and mopping, are my most dreaded task? It took me less than fifteen minutes to mop all the rooms in my house! I have probably spent more time in my day trying to avoid doing them than it actually took to do it.
Try it today, I want to know what is your most dreaded task, and how much of it did you get done in fifteen minutes or less?
The most dregded chore I dislike doing is ironing. So, for me I will buy wrinkle free clothes or wrinkle free spray and then put them in the drying and they come out looking good. But if I have to, well then I will do it. However, I will try the timer and see how fast it will take me to finishing ironing clothes.
