    Default Speed Through Your Chores

    I found this in Redbook magazine and thought I'd post a few of the ideas!

    1. As your family to button buttons, zip zippers, and turn socks right-side out before they put their dirty clothes in the hamper, to cut down on folding time.

    2. Have your little ones alphabetize your spice rack so you don't have to waste time hunting for what you need.

    3. When putting silverware in the dishwasher, group knives, forks, and spoons together. This makes unloading go so much quicker!

    The silverware idea is a good one. I might just try that. As for the first one, just getting dd to put her clothes in the hamper is a challenge

    Be careful with the spoons. They can nest together and won't come clean. I've been trying to get my family to turn their T-shirts and socks right side out for years! Sometimes I just fold them up inside out
