Race the Clock!<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a fantastic way to collect items that belong in another room. Put a Rubbermaid container or cardboard box in the middle of the room and set a kitchen timer for five to ten minutes.

It\u2019s really useful for rounding up stray toys, mail, shoes, and clothing.<\/p>\n Mission Spring Clean<\/strong><\/p>\n Your mission, Mr. Bond, is to clean up!
