As a professional organizer, I often hear parents' frustrations about time management or being disorganized. Most of us are so busy working, commuting, and carpooling that we just can't find a way to fit everything into a twenty four hour period.

Beat the Clock - Set a timer for 5 or 10 minutes and have everyone clean up.
Competition is a great incentive.
The job will get done eventually, and you will get a sense of accomplishment each time you work on it. Ready the Troops - Iron or assemble clothing for an entire week at a time. Make lunches the night before. Clear the Decks - Leave a clean house. Make beds and wash dishes before you leave for the day.
