Have a spare few minutes?

So today I had a few minutes spare and I started thinking about how I could use the time well, rather than simply procrastinate and waste it. It made me think about starting a list of things to do in those few minutes, that aren't urgent, but would make all the difference to my home / life if they were done. Heres my list so far, see what else you can think of!

• Spare change – collect from around the house, count up and bag – then you can add to your errands to take it to the bank.

·         

•  Try and fill a bin bag with items that are not required any more – quick walk through the house.

• Shredding! – Start a pile and when you have quite a bit you can do it in one go

• Filing! – Start a pile and when you have quite a bit you can do it in one go

• Email folders – are you REALLY going to need everything again?

• Old pens that don’t work – that pen pot will thank you for it!

• Any expired coupons

• A drawer or cupboard

• Handbag / purse / wallet – throw out all old receipts and paper that collects there – and put everything where it should go

• Hall cupboard – check coats and shoes are there are suitable for the season and have non seasonal stuff in peoples rooms

• DVDs and CDs – any collections should be in the right boxes

• Magazines – rip out any articles you want to read again, and if all in tact still, consider giving to someone else to read, or recycle

• Quick purge of kitchen food cupboards to ensure things are in date still

• Writing a liked recipe into your family recipe book – creating a fail safe recipe book to use again and again

• Social stuff – checklist that you have contacted all your friends and family in a suitable timeframe (everyone of these will be different, and may prefer different ways of contacting), but don’t let this contact slide (i.e. make a phone call, send an email, write in your diary to do this.

• Anything from your TO DO list that has been marked as a QUICK WIN!
