You know we all have housework to do. It is hard trying to keep up with the housework and find time for quilting, sewing and our other crafts.

I thought we should start a thread to post our tips and tricks for housework.

Focus on one area at a time. Don’t roam from room to room dusting baseboards. Concentrate on an entire room’s grunge before going to the next.

I try to clean as I go and do some cleaning every day in each room. By Friday the house is clean for the weekend!

Sounds like a great idea to me!!! I'm not doing any housework until I am finished with all the flannel rag quilts I am making for Project Linus. I do the snipping in my family room and the wood floor looks like carpet (well, almost) from all the fuzz. I have 4 more to snip and a couple to make from all the scraps from the last few years, then it will be clean, clean, clean.

Flylady..and her 15 minutes at a time.

Timers...do 15 minutes at a time, then QUIT and go on to another room. You can come back to this room later, for 15 minutes.
