My piano teacher used to ask, “How does a mouse eat an
elephant?” The answer is, “One bite at a time.” He meant sometimes big tasks
can feel overwhelming. If you divide them into smaller bits and accomplish one,
it can give you momentum to tackle another. And another. Here are a few tasks
requiring fifteen minutes or less:
Clean out your purse.
Make a shopping list.
Water your houseplants.
Strip and remake a bed.
Vacuum the living room.
Empty waste paper bins.
Clean a bathtub.
Dust light fixtures.
Start sauce for a pasta dinner.
Gather a bag of things to donate.
Scour the kitchen sink.
Scrub a toilet.
Polish the mirrors.
Fold a load of laundry.
Wipe down kitchen countertops.
Walk around the block.
Run an empty dishwasher with a cup of vinegar.
Empty the dishwasher.
Start a load of laundry.
Sweep the kitchen floor.
Purge the toybox of broken toys.
Clean out your car.
