If you do not have the thing I have challenged you on then this will be the same alternative for any day.

Set the timer for 15 minutes, and do some clearing.

Have you got a drawer in the kitchen where everyone drops bits of rubbish, odd keys, old batteries etc.

What about the magazine rack, the end of the dining room table.

You know the spots, the dumping place where there is always a mix of stuff.

15 minutes may not seem much, but they all add up, and that time is manageable.

When you are doing sorting also, do not get too much out to sort, as it causes more problems if you don't get finished.

Keep it manageable.

Sounds like my seed collection ... that needs sorting !!!!!!!! Laughing

... family sees bags of drying seeds etc around the house and instantly 'dumps' them into my 'special place' that I have earmarked for just me ... looks like a bonfire pile !!

TBH

I have been having a bit of a farming challenge, and that will resolve itself tomorrow.

Still you will have all been clearing out 27 things a day, and getting rid of little hot spots of clutter, so things will be looking better already won't they!
