Make a Task Basket
by Maria Gracia Join our newsletter to be notified when the newest Organizing Article is available. Take 10 index cards and cut each into 4 pieces. You should end up with a total of 40 pieces. Also, keep one envelope on hand. On each piece, write one task that you can do in 5 minutes or less. Some examples might be: --Organize a Drawer --Wash a Window --Wipe off a Countertop --Sort Mail --Weed out a File Folder Take all of these pieces and put them in a basket or a paper bag. Tape the envelope on the outside of the basket or bag. Each day, shake your basket or bag to mix the chores up well. Pull out two of these pieces and do the tasks listed on them. When you're done with the tasks, put those pieces in the envelope. Keep repeating this system until all of the pieces are in the envelope. Then, dump the envelope back into the basket or bag and start over again. In just 20 days, you will have completed 40 tasks! Back to Organizing Articles Index
