the power of 20 minute cleaning

Last Thursday evening Josh had just left work and Jasper was busy tearing apart the living room. I looked around and knew I had to do something about the mess. I was not in the mood to clean at all so I looked at the clock and told myself to just clean for 20 minutes.

I wasn’t sure how much I could get done since the kitchen was a wreck too.  Clean laundry was piled on the stairs and random items thrown everywhere.  Yep, it was that kind of day.  Poor Bebo was not too happy.

I turned on music, asked Jasper to pick up some of his toys and went to work.  Twenty minutes later, my downstairs looked like this.  And Bebo was relieved.

    The picture with Bebo sitting on the arm of the couch made me laugh. It’s like he was getting to higher ground.

    i love when people share pictures of their messes. :) I also do the 20 minute thing. on nights I just feel like I can’t do it, I set the kitchen timer for 20 minutes and work as fast as I can to get a lot done. it is amazing what you can accomplish. and a lot of times I end up with enough energy to keep going for a while.
