Any word on updates on this?

Oh, now, don't be in a rush. It can take ages to get a new forum going. I have this weird notion though that once there is a cleaning forum it will somehow help actually get my cleaning done. A bit like buying gardening books produces a wonderful garden.

I suspect you're right.
By the by, I heard a wonderful piece of advice the other day.
If you see something that needs doing, and you know that it will only take three minutes or less to get it done - just do it.
It makes you more efficient, and it applies to everything really, not just cleaning.

I reckon it will take me - oh at least 5 minutes to wash up, slowburner, so that lets me off

I forgot to mention that if a task is likely to take longer than three minutes, it should be written down on a to-do list.

When you think about it, it could be problematical if you had a multitude of three minute tasks.
Mind you, if all your tasks for the day only required three minutes, and you were prepared to work on them for six hours; that would be one hundred and twenty tasks completed.

Doing those sort of sums is displacement activity, akin to doing multicoloured study plans for the Leaving Cert.

**slowburner** · 07-08-2012, 20:20

I felt I had to - it took less than three minutes.

Got thinking of this forum this week after an incident with fairy liquid and a dish washer. Hopefully it'll get the go ahead soon
