I'm giving you fair warning
Tuesday 5/27 I'll be doing another cleaning challenge. For those of you who weren't aware of the last one, here's the scoop:
From 9am central(10am eastern) to 4pm central(5pm eastern) I'll give out specific tasks at the beginning of each hour. The whole list can be completed in a total of 15 minutes. You can either use a timer(this is what I do) or watch the clock. There is one rule and one rule only:
1. You are to spend 15 minutes on the list for the hour, no more, no less, no matter how close or far you are from finishing. The point is to make progress, not to make yourself crazy. You can do this!
So, I hope you'll join me. It's a lot of fun to play "beat the clock" and also to see how much you've accomplished in little bursts of time. So...who's planning on taking part?

I'll be joining in around the second top of the hour. I'm so glad you are doing this again. I really appreciate the leadership you are offering me.

I have to work for 3 hours during that time and it will be my dd's first day out of scool for the summer, sooooo I will try to check in on the hours I am home and do a few of the tasks during that time frame. By the way, I think it is a great idea
because clutter and cleaning have a way of taking control. 15 minutes is definately manageable.
