5 Chores You Should Never Skip (Even If You're Busy)




Pressed for time? Running late? Didn't finish your Sunday morning "to clean" list but need to head out the door to brunch right now? Whenever you're pressed for time — or have an extra heavy schedule a certain week — don't let all your chores and cleaning duties slip into disarray. Keep your house functioning by being choosy with which chores you skip and which ones you tackle.

Never skip these chores:

1. Making the bed

Nothing makes me feel more like the in-control grown-up I hope I am than by coming back home and opening my bedroom door to a perfectly made bed. The potential benefits of this one are too great to let it slide.

2. Doing the dishes

Dirty dishes are a horrible, exponentially growing thing. When you skip doing them and instead grabbing a clean dish to do your bidding, you've basically doubled the amount of work you've got to do when you clean them next time. Try and get in the habit of cleaning dishes as you use them so there's never a mountain that needs climbing cleaning.

3. Picking up dirty laundry

We think it's OK to occasionally skip over the dirty laundry in your hamper when you're pressed for time, but don't skip your routine of filling the hamper. Dirty towels and recently worn outfits strewn about will make a room feel dirtier than it actually is.

4. Quick countertop swipes

Whatever method you use to clean your countertop (from convenient wipes to DIY natural cleaners and microfiber rags), consider always applying a simple swipe after you're done using an area. It'll help keep stains from getting hard and a little shine will go a long way to making a room feel clean.

5. Vacuuming common areas

From hard surfaces to carpet and rugs, a cleaner floor instantly equates to a cleaner room. Some might balk at vacuuming being a "quick" chore, but we think a (very inexact) once-over of your most commonly used areas is something you should try and tackle often. And you can always consider a compact handheld vacuum for even faster swipes over visibly dirty small spots.
What are your skip and never skip chore rules you live by? What's on your list of what to never skip and what's okay to miss on your busy weeks?

LOCAL EVENT

REEF Lionfish Derby for Divers presented by Whole Foods Markets 
Key Largo, FL
September 14-16, 2018

Divers and snorkelers in Florida will once again sharpen their spears and hone their lionfish hunting skills to compete in the annual REEF Lionfish Derby Series presented by Whole Foods Market®. This summer marks 10 years of lionfish derbies, and will feature an exclusive partnership between REEF and Whole Foods Market for six derby events around the state. Whole Foods Market introduced lionfish to all Florida stores in April 2016, which is perfect for those who want a delicious, nutritious, and eco-conscious choice. Invasive lionfish are voracious predators from the Indo-Pacific that threaten Florida’s marine ecosystems by devouring more than 170 species of our native fish and invertebrates. Defended from predators by 18 venomous spines, lionfish rule the reefs and reproduce as often as every four days, year round. Though lionfish may seem unstoppable, divers and snorkelers can significantly reduce local populations and allow native fish populations to recover. Lionfish derbies serve to educate the public, provide samples for researchers, and encourage market development, on top of removing thousands of ecologically devastating lionfish.
