10.10.10

Ten things you can do in under ten minutes in honor of this once a century day.

Start folders for all those clippings you've collected.

P-touch or hand label 10 of your favorite categories

onto folders. Next time you clip, file away.

The next short 10 minute call, remove items from one shelf in pantry,

fridge etc. Wipe clean and replace items. If you did this with every call,

pretty soon, all bathroom and kitchen shelves would be TIDY.

Consider adding your email address to your profile so that

people like me can easily hit reply and send you a

sweet note thanking you for your comments. : )

Drop a quick note or email to someone that you should

have contacted a while ago. In 10 short minutes you

can make their day extra special.

Get a clean damp cloth and go wipe off all your shoes,

or your husbands or kids. Stop, think; how many months

have some of them been sitting, or hanging there collecting dust?

Purses are another option. Of course if you channel

Imelda Marcos, ten minutes may not be enough.

Update 10 pages in your address book, Rolodex, or email list.

Delete, add, change addresses and phone numbers.

Jot down your 10 favorite movies or books and vow to

view or reread in the next 10 months.

Disinfect the phones in your home. Don't forget the cells.

Doorknobs are another option.

Clean out your trunk- If it isn't too cluttered, you may

even have time to vacuum, or do the glove compartment.

Go through a closet and remove all unused hangers and

then hang them out of the way on one end. Just that alone

improves the look of your closet instantly.

Option 2: Go through and grab all pants or shirts, or dresses

and place them together. Later on in another 10 minutes you can

do it with the rest.

******

Life is busy, distractions abound. 10 minute bursts

are an easy way to bring it under control. You have permission ;0

to quit after 10 minutes, but please feel free to continue if you so desire.

I'm choosing another chore, my garbage can and recycle bins.

a little cleaner, a power hose and air dry. Bet I'm done in under 8.

Happy 10.10.10 everyone!
