Last week was crazy busy as we readied for my sister’s wedding so I promised myself 10 minutes to do some damp dusting focusing on cabinets doors (ours are recessed so the decorative edge is a great collector of dust/debris/ickiness) and the tops of the door frames.
You can get a lot more done in 10 minutes than you think! Not only did I meet my goal but with time to spare! Awesome. I tell you though, it helps to be just organized enough to:
- Know what you’ll be dusting and how long you want to dedicate to the task. I think 10 minutes is going to be my new go-to time.
- Have the dusting cloth in a dedicated spot so you’re not speading additional time on this already not-s0-fun chore. I put all my extra Sherry Cloths proto-types in a basket in our utility closet – just grab and go!
This week we’ve got more time so I’ll be focusing on Sofia’s bedroom. With Sofia “helping” I imagine a time expense of only about 30 minutes of actual working time.
What can you accomplish in 10 minutes? Good luck – you and your loved ones will be breathing easier soon!
PS: feel free to do this more than once a week. Weekly is just my reality – for now.
Wondering why you should even being doing this in the first place – other than aesthetics? See related articles below and/or visit the American Lung Association’s website in the blogroll.
