The chores are written on slips of paper, and take a maximum of 10 minutes each to accomplish. Each day, as a chore is completed, that slip of paper is placed in a holding envelope until the Chore Box is empty. Then, when empty, the boxes are refilled, and the system starts over again. Schedule a consistent 10 minute Pick-up time each night. At this time, all family members are responsible for clearing out and putting away their belongings from the main family area.
Problem is, that time never seems to come.
For example, if you just won an all-expenses paid trip to the land of your dreams, you'd probably find time to fit it into your busy schedule. So, it's time to begin fitting in those things you want to do, and 10 Minute Goals can help. For example, schedule 10 minutes a day to catch up on your reading, or to begin learning that foreign language, or to simply spend having fun with your children. Don't forget to schedule a few 10 Minutes Luxuries per day to do something nice for yourself. Sometimes the day is so rushed and chaotic, that it's easy to forget the really important things like family, health, spirituality, personal time and so on.
