10 minute organization

[Csara]

I have heard a lot about quick cleaning and organization......like just doing some things while you are there and going from room to room around your house during the day. What are some quick organizational things you do each day?

Can't say I have any...but would love to hear ideas! Goodness knows!

Since my snowed in clean house episode from last week I tell you it has been so easy to keep the house clean.
One thing I have been doing this week is making an effort to make my bed as soon as I get up instead of waiting. I load the dishwasher with breakfast dishes rather than leaving them in the sink and loading the dinner dishes and the breakfast dishes. I do more loads of laundry and fold and put them away rather than leaving in baskets.

I always make beds as soon as Ella goes down for her am nap. I feel like I can start the day when the beds are made, lol. As soon as I brush my teeth/put contacts in, I wipe down the sink and put all toiletries away. I also know that my whole day goes better when I unload the dishwasher in the morning. It is one of my least favorite chores, so to have it done early makes me happy - and then I don't pile dishes in the sink all day.
Almost every morning I throw a load of laundry in the washer. I am terrible about putting folded laundry away though!

I walk around with a handle bag and toss stuff as I go. I start in the livingroom then work my way to the kitchen. I do a quick sweep in the bathrooms and I'm done. I FINALLY got my bedroom cleaned up and organized a few weeks ago and the only time I spend in there is when I'm asleep--so that's one less room to worry about until it's time to dust.
I also make piles, things that go in certain rooms all get piled together then they get put up.

I'll have to steal D's method of emptying the DW either right before bedtime or in the mornings. I hate dealing with a sink full of dishes.

I keep hoping the HOUSECLEANING FAIRIES will show up and do that stuff... It's not working!

I keep trying to spray dusting spray on the dogs tails too... somehow they don't like it!!! :)
