		<description>I love the idea of the cleaning playlist.  So much so that I started immediately to scrape together dusting songs, purging songs, yardwork songs, etc.  That&#039;s when I discovered I&#039;m really bad at playlists :)  Being the type of person who reads this blog daily, I figured there was a software solution somewhere.  Bing pointed me here: http://www.potionfactory.com/tangerine/  

From their website:
With Tangerine! you no longer have to spend precious time creating workout playlists that you could be spending actually working out. You can custom tailor a playlist to fit your workout session perfectly by choosing the generation patterns. 

It&#039;s pretty sweet.  I opened it, it ran through my ridiculously cluttered iTunes library, then I told it I wanted an exercising playlist that gradually peaked.  Bam.  Done.  There&#039;s a trial available.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with Potion Factory, I just like saving time and brain cycles.</description>

		<description>I recently discovered the site www.chorebuster.net - it is a free service where you can add details of all the chores that need to be done and how often, and the people in the house that can do them (and you can say that certain people can&#039;t do a particular job, like kids sharpening knives etc) and they do a schedule for you, which can be emailed to you weekly or daily. It is awesome! You can also download a Yahoo Widget so the list is on your desktop each day. It is working really well for me!</description>

		<description>A load of laundry a night for a family of four is not unreasonable...think two teenagers doing sports. But they also help. Our electricy won&#039;t support running the washer, dryer, dishwasher and oven at the same time, so something always needs to be running when we&#039;re home.

This post motivated me to get up and clean the upstairs bathroom, and I kept right on going. I find this usually happens. I tell myself I&#039;ll just do 15 minutes (or get up during commercials) and then I keep on going. Thanks for the motivation!</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t imagine coming exhausted from work and scrubbing the toilets...I have a cleaning service twice a month and can&#039;t be more happy. Money well spent, I&#039;d rather cut down on shopping or eating out.</description>

		<description>Wow, great minds think alike!  I do a lot of the same things all of you do, but I&#039;m open to new ideas.  It makes sense to do some chores and straightening up during the week, then it frees up the weekend for either some fun activity or the major cleaning.  

If you only have time to wash a load of towels at least you&#039;ve done one thing.  Sometimes it&#039;s the small things that bring happiness.</description>

		<description>After reading Elizabeth Warren&#039;s &quot;All Your Worth,&quot; which is about personal finance, not cleaning, I realized that the basic message of that book, which is that you will always mess up on the small things if you don&#039;t have the big things under control.  

In finance terms, that is you need to have your mandatory expenses below half your income.

In housecleaning terms, that means if you are spending more than an hour a week cleaning, you need to either up your cleaning skills or rethink the basic organization and systems of your household.  (Note:  the hour a week excludes a quarterly &quot;spring&quot; cleaning, nightly kitchen duty and pick up, and doesn&#039;t count laundry.)

I&#039;ve gotten pretty brutal about no storage on horizontal spaces, unless there is a container for that purpose.  Getting &quot;stuff&quot; to the level of only having as much as your space will hold opens up a lot of time.</description>

		<description>Yea outsourcing!  We have a cleaner come once every two weeks.  She cleans *way* faster than I ever could, and is not that expensive.  

Our daily cleanup is about 10 min of dinner cleanup.  We leave everything on the table until after the kids go to bed.  We would rather spend time with them than clean the kitchen right away.  

The kids put their toys away before going to bed.  

It sounds like you all have *way* too much laundry.  How many loads must you have if you are doing one per day?  I do three loads per week (for our family of 4).</description>
