- Clean out your handbag – get rid of all the stuff that has accumulated including hair ties, old receipts, pens and markers that don’t work, and anything that may be lurking at the bottom!
- Pay a bill online and avoid overdue fees.
- Write a shopping list – this can also be a great money saver rather than picking random items off the shelves when you go to the supermarket.
- Write a 'to do' list for the following day.
- Throw a load of laundry into the washing machine (and switch it on, obviously!)
- Go through all your emails and mark those that need attention – or delete if they are not relevant.
- If you need to declutter a few things in your home – put one item in the decluttering pile each commercial break and soon you’ve have a few things to recycle or take to the op shop.
- Check up on your indoor plants – do they need watering? Are they gathering dust?
- Change your kitchen rubbish bin if it’s overflowing and getting a bit smelly (there are only so many times you can try to compress the rubbish to avoid the trip to the outside general waste bin!).
