timed cleaning One of my favorite tools is the visual timer. It helps in so many ways! Sometimes when we think of a task that seems unpleasant, like unloading the dishwasher, our brain tells us that the task is going to take much longer than it actually does. Other times tasks like cleaning our bedroom feel so huge it’s overwhelming to even start. In those instances it’s helpful to set a timer for a small increment of time that you feel you can stomach. Usually between five and fifteen minutes.
