The 10-Minute Tidy That Can Change Your Entire Evening

Let’s set the scene:
It’s 6:15 PM. The day was a blur. Dinner dishes are somewhere near the sink. A trail of shoes and backpacks leads from the door to the couch. The dog is chewing something you’re 90% sure isn’t his.

You could plop on the couch and ignore it all. But something in you says, “Just set a timer. 10 minutes. That’s it.”

And so begins the 10-Minute Tidy.What Happens in 10 Minutes? Way more than you'd think. In 10 minutes, you can:

• Clear the dishes

• Wipe down counters

• Fluff the couch cushions

• Do a lightning sweep of clutter into a basket

• Light a candle
  Boom—your space breathes again, and so do you.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about momentum. Starting with just 10 minutes makes the task feel doable. And sometimes, you’ll find you want to keep going. (Other times, the candle’s lit, the mess is hidden, and that’s good enough.)
