Did you know that 15 minutes goes by in a flash, but when uninterrputed, you can get a lot accomplished?
Well, for the last couple weeks, I have been trying this approach to getting things done. It is a little tricky with Lanny running around, but it is great. I have been told about this theory many times by various people, and have sort of tried it before. I decided to set my timer a couple weeks ago, and it totally works for my procrastinating type personality. With the timer running, I would try to get as much done as I could-I did it all day one day and it was amazing what I could do-even with the boys around. I would set it for 15 min then clean, then do 30 minutes and play for a while, then 15 again and clean some more. It also helped when doing the laundry because I would check a lot more.
I have done it a few more times since the first day, and found I really like it. For a personality like me- who is not the best at prioratizing time- having somthing like the timer to be accountable to really helped. I enjoyed seeing how much I could do before the timer beeped, and half the time I would forget about it until it went off...I would be just working away.
The only unfortunate problem is that I really don't have much of an excuse to not have my house clean....well, I will still probably blame it on 3 kids running around who within an hour of mopping manage to spill dinner all over the floor....

Isn't that the truth! You clean and the kids mess it up right away! Good for you for finding something that works for you. I have found that my friend Bobbie deep cleans once a week and I have been inspired by her and am doing it regularly now. It feels so much better clean!
