Being the busy bee that I am I always feel really guilty when I am just stood around particularly when the kettle is boiling. I now always use this time to achieve something rather than just stand and wait. In reality maybe I should just try to chill for a few minutes but I just can’t do it…..
So below I have listed a few simple tasks you can do to pass the time productively when the kettle is boiling.All of these tasks can be easily achieved in 3/4 minutes.
- Empty the dishwasher
- Unload the washing machine and get ready for hanging.
- Wipe over kitchen appliances
- Declutter and tidy a drawer
- Clean the kitchen window
- Sort through your cleaning products
- Hoover the kitchen floor
- Empty the kitchen bin
- Sort through a food cupboard
- Plan your day
- Post a picture on social media
- Have a mini workout This can be a few star jumps, squats or lunges. Or grab your kettle bells.
- Sort through your handbag
- Text friends arrange a catch up
- Washing up
- Food preparation
- Wipe over the fridge door
- Quick floor mop or steam
- Polish your shoes
- Handwash an item of clothing
- Hang out the washing
- Tackle kitchen cobwebs
- Catch up on some reading
- Apply your makeup
- Put together a quick playlist
If you have a few more ideas of what can be achieved than I would love for you to add them into the comments below. Don’t forget to take part in my 5 minute cleaning challenge this really does help you stay on top.
