49 Things You Can Do in 90 Seconds or Less…

I’m an inherent organizer.  Unfortunately, time has not been on my side lately as my days have been busier than ever.  In an effort to keep my home as clean, tidy, and Happy as I usually keep it, I came up with a small to-do list that included things that could be done in 90 seconds or less.  Here are some of those tasks:

  1. Wipe up a spill/brush off crumbs from a counter
  2. Put the dishes in the dishwasher
  3. Wipe spots off of a mirror
  4. Put shoes away
  5. Pick up stray articles of clothing
  6. Put stray articles of clothing in/on their respective drawers/hooks/spots
  7. Empty a trash can
  8. Water a plant
  9. Organize/stack magazines/books

  15. Re-fold hand towels hung in bathrooms
  16. Make the bed
  17. Move empty water glasses from bathroom/bedroom to dishwasher
  18. Sweep entryway
