⏱️ Total: 10 minutes🌙 Best at night

Supplies

  • Timer (10 minutes)
  • Small bin for “put away elsewhere”
  • Microfiber cloth + all-purpose spray
  • Laundry basket

Quick Rules

Pick 5 hotspots that matter most tonight. Work left→right. Stop when the timer ends — perfection isn’t the goal.
  • No deep cleaning — just visible resets and quick wins.
  • Stage tomorrow’s first step (laundry, coffee, lunches).

1) Dishes & Sink (2–3 min)

2) Counters & Islands (1–2 min)

3) Living Room Reset (1–2 min)

4) Entry / Drop Zone (1 min)

5) Bathroom Touch-Up (1 min)

6) Quick Floors (1–2 min)

7) Laundry Stage (1 min)

8) Trash & Recycling (1 min)

9) Paper Triage (1 min)

10) Final Reset (30 sec)

Tip: If you only do two things, do dishes and clear the entry. Biggest visual win for least effort.
