10-minute chore jar

My house cleaning habits are quite sporadic. I usually get a lot done on Mondays but get less and less inspired as the week progresses. One thing I've started that is really helping is a 10-minute chore jar. My friend Casey gave me the idea. I printed off all the cleaning chores I want to get done on a weekly basis, cut them out, and put them in a jar. Each day, usually at the beginning of the kids' afternoon nap time, I pick out one piece of paper and do that chore. Then I feel like I've gotten something done and can relax!

I broke them down into quick tasks:

• Dust and Swiffer
• Clean toilets
• Clean and organize kitchen counter (the clutter magnet!)
• Clean out refrigerator
• Clean bathroom counters
• Empty trash cans and Diaper Genie (though Jon usually does this one)
• Clean all mirrors
• Organize top of washer/dryer (also a clutter magnet)

I picked relatively quiet chores; vacuuming could be on the list, but I do that separately since I really don't do that during nap time. Some days I just do one chore, but other days I get inspired and do two or three. This is all in addition to the regular cooking, laundry, dishes, and toy pick-up that already gets done!

I have been accomplishing all tasks pretty much within a week, and once I do, I put all the pieces back in the jar and start again.

I've been thinking about also creating a jar for tasks I want to do once a month. Which tasks would you all put in that jar? Which would you add to my weekly list?
