Use an Egg Timer to Avoid Being Overwhelmed

I find sometimes with 5 kids at home things can seem very overwhelming. I recently purchased an egg timer. I set it for 10 minutes and do things in 10 minute increments.

I seem to get more done instead of trying to finish everything all at once. It doesn't seem as overwhelming when you break it down.

When my teen-aged grandson was living with me, we would set a timer to ring in 5 minutes. Neither of us liked to clean. During the 5 minutes we would clean as much as we could, working really fast. It worked and was fun. We called it Blitz Cleaning.
