So right now, there is a kid or person on technology in almost every useable space of my house! I just want to sneak away and sit and do something for myself. I hear game sounds in one room, YouTube in another, an echo dot in yet another, and there’s more game sounds in the basement.
My upstairs bedroom is the only place where I can tune it all out.
I have this great couch in my master bedroom. It reclines, it has a cup holder for my tea, it has a charger so that I can charge my phone AND, it’s a great place to sneak away and work on some diamond art!
I came upstairs to sneak away to find the reminder of just how messy and cluttered it has become!
It’s time to set the timer for another 10 minute blitz!
Honestly, a 10 minute timer is the best cleaning/tidying tool! As soon as you see the clock turn to 9:59, you know the race is on. That competitive edge kicks me in the butt and I get started without another second to waste. It seems so easy to fly through all of the stuff and figure out where it can go!
I always laugh at myself after I am done because it only took 10 minutes!! So why, oh why, has there been stuff on this couch for at least a few weeks now! It makes no sense to me how something that takes hardly any time can seem like such an impossible job! How can it be so complicated and overwhelming, but then that timer starts and boom! 10 minutes later, it’s so peaceful. Oh, never mind, the techies have all somehow hunted me down and crowded the room!
At least I have a tidy couch for another time!
