We're used to postponing many tasks, explaining it by a permanent lack of time. But if you look at the truth in the eye, sometimes solving household problems requires no more than an hour. We present 7 ideas you can finish at home within 60 minutes to avoid spending entire weekends fighting disorder.

1. Do a Quick Clean

Set a timer, play some pleasant music and start. Clear surfaces, dust off, vacuum the living room, hallway and bedroom floors. Wipe down all the things you touch daily: door handles, light switches, cupboards for dishes. In the bathroom and kitchen, clean sinks, wipe mirrors — your apartment will look much fresher.

2. Focus on One Serious Task

Can't seem to clean the microwave or keyboard? It still won’t take more than an hour. For example, finally wash the range hood. The level of its dirtiness depends on how new it is. In the best case, you'll just need to rinse the filter in hot water with cleaning solution; in the worst case, boil it in hot water with household soap for 5–10 minutes and then remove the grime manually.

3. Transform the Bathroom Atmosphere

Coziness in small spaces depends on details. Change the bathroom curtain, review your cosmetics, hang new towel holders or simply organize a spot for a flower pot: living plants fit in all rooms of the house.

4. Create Decorations Yourself

There are many home decorations you can make yourself in an hour. If your handcraft skills aren't perfect, start with simple solutions — turn a beautiful bottle into a vase using acrylic paint, beads or colored ribbons, replace standard curtain clips with leather cords.

5. Tidy Up Wooden Furniture

To remove scratches, rub them with the pulp of a walnuts – it will darken the damage. Stubborn water rings can be removed with an iron: cover the surface with a light natural fabric, set the iron to medium temperature and spend a few minutes on each mark.

6. Polish Glassware to a Shine

Prepare a solution of distilled water and vinegar and soak the cloudy glass in it. For the next 12 hours, you can focus on other tasks, then take out the dishes and let them dry — glasses will sparkle like new. A worn-out toothbrush can help remove tough stains.

7. Review Your Documents

If you often find that paper piles hide your desk, it’s time to organize filing systems in the office. Vertical file organizers, boxes with lids, hanging trays — any office supply store will offer many containers to help tackle this task. Also, get rid of that huge stack of papers you no longer need.
