Timer Tactics: The Essential 5-Minute Kitchen Sweep

The kitchen is often the first area to accumulate mess. Start your reset here. Dedicate five minutes to wiping down counters and the stovetop, loading the dishwasher with any lingering dishes, and quickly stashing away dry items left on the island. A quick kitchen sweep prevents major cleaning later.

Living Room Tidy: The 4-Minute Horizontal Surface Rule

Clutter tends to spread across flat surfaces, creating a feeling of chaos. Set a four-minute timer specifically for your living room. Focus on removing anything that does not belong: remote controls, books, mail, or shoes. Fluff the throw pillows and fold any blankets. This rapid process instantly enhances the comfort of your apartment living space.
