 10 Organizing Projects You Can Complete in 10 Minutes
You can get organized, even if you're pressed for time. Here are 10 organizing projects you can complete in 10 minutes or less.
1. Weed out 10 file folders. Dedicate 1 minute per folder and recycle any papers you no longer need.
2. Pick through a junk drawer. Set a timer for 10 minutes, grab a garbage bag, open the junk drawer, pick through anything no longer needed and toss it in the garbage.
3. Make a donation bag. Go through your clothes closet and choose 5 articles of clothing you never wear. Put them in a donation bag to be given to your favorite charity.
4. Corral toys. Walk around your home for 10 minutes with a hamper (or have your kids do this) and put any stray toys into the hamper. Tomorrow, make your 10-minute organizing project to put all the toys back in their proper homes.
5. Write out your greeting cards. Write out all of your birthday, anniversary and other greeting cards for one month. Address them, stamp them and send them out.
6. Pay a few bills. If you dread spending an entire hour each time you have to pay your bills, just take 10 minutes each day to do this task instead. Leave your bill paying supplies out and available, so you could pay the bills as you get them without having to take all of your supplies out each time.
7. Make an appointment. Whether you've been meaning to make an appointment with a doctor, your accountant, a repairman or a friend, take 10 minutes now to do so.
8. Delete some email. Spend 10 minutes deleting any email you no longer need from your inbox.
9. Clear off a surface. Whether the surface is a table, a dresser, a desk or an ottoman, remove any clutter so you can actually see the surface again. File any papers needing filing, return any stray items to their rightful homes and toss any junk.
10. Clean out your medicine cabinet. Toss old makeup you never use, expired prescriptions and anything else you don't need. Save your valued space for the things you actually use.

1.  sumofalltears (2636) | 3 years ago |  Excellent advice and I can tell you from experience it does work. Once you are completely organized it is a matter of 10 minutes a day to stay that way. I can handle 10 minutes a day to keep myself organized.

| 3. makingpots (6664) | 3 years ago |  Great suggestions, Teresa. I decided I would do one just so I could respond to you about it. I did #2 and even set a timer to do it. Wow, it felt very freeing, I should do this more often.

| TeresaK (8081) | 3 years ago | I'm glad you mentioned the timer. I use a timer quite often for doing chores that involve cleaning out, organizing, etc. If you just work on it for a limited amount of time, it doesn't seem all that overwhelming. | |

| 9. slarkin71 (4526) | 3 years ago |  That is way to organised for me. I'm terrible for letting clutter build up, but I think I'll give it a go. Number 4 is definitely one the kids can do.

| 10. charlene2350 (4850) | 3 years ago |  Those are some great ideas on how to get those little chores done in no time. One thing I hate doing is going through all my paper stuff. I have a box and a drawer, but no filing cabinet as of yet. I need to sift through it though. Thanks for the reminder...:)
