This month we will be spending the majority of our Spring Cleaning 365 time outdoors. However, we certainly don’t want to have the rooms inside our home fall apart. That’s why it’s imperative to spend a few minutes each day, putting things back where they belong. This is a cleaning habit we all should implement every day of the year.

The 5 Minute Pick Up
The five minute pick up is a great habit to get into any time of the year. After scrubbing your house top-to-bottom, you certainly don’t want piles of clutter to hide your clean house.
The guidelines for the 5 minute pick up are fairly simple. Spend 5 minutes picking up and clearing out what doesn’t belong in each room, two or three times each day.
I would encourage you to do this after breakfast and before you go to bed every night. If you’re home all day, then you might want to add another pick up session mid-day. Keep in mind that the time of day you pick up isn’t really a big deal, but you’ll probably find that having set times help with consistency.
Of course if you have kids at home, get them involved! It is such a great way to teach them to handle small responsibilities around the house and this is a fabulous habit for them to start with while they’re young. Teaching children to pick up their mess is almost certain to make your life easier in the long run.
