In the scientific journal "Personality and Social Psychology" a study was published based on a linguistic analysis of women's statements about their home. Each of the 60 participants in the experiment described its dwelling, and then received an assessment of the psychologist. As it turned out, those whose houses were appreciated as cluttered and dirty, were more prone to depression and fatigue than women describing the purity of their own home and the organization of space. The researchers also found that women whose home was in disarray, turned out to be a higher level of cortisol - stress hormone. Even if you have 5 minutes in stock, you can find something to do:
Three minutes
Enter the rule of one song in the house: find the composition that charges you with energy and makes more actively move. Most often, it will be latina or songs in Turkish, under the melodies of which your legs begin to move. On average, the song lasts three minutes - during this time, children will be able to collect toys, and you will wash the dishes after family lunch. In general, we advise you to get into the music - it's time goes at times faster. Turn it on the headphones at full volume and wipe the mirror cloth, vacuuming the floor - and feel free to your dance skills.

Five minutes
During this time, you can have time to disassemble the trash in the hallway, which you fold on the shelves after the arrival of home: old checks, newspapers, promotional leaflets, unread letters, sticks and leaves from a walk of a child, trifle and so on. Put the jar for coins where you will drop the whole trifle from pockets, and then hand over to a specialized device in the mall. For keys, set the key: hang on it the keys to the house and the car so that then you do not have to look for them on all bags. Do the same with documents and bank cards - put them on the shelf to definitely not forget when you come out of the house.
Ten minutes
Buy a melamine sponge in the shop of household goods - it can be removed traces of children's creativity on the walls and wallpaper, laundering the stains from furniture and tiles, clean the switches from the prints of dirty hands. In just ten minutes you can eliminate such little things that are striking when guests come to your house. It would be good before the guests to check how clean your toilet, sink, table and freshly hanging towels. Replace the old piece of soap or update the dispenser with liquid soap.
Half an hour
Disassemble the refrigerator: set all the food, review the expiration date on sauces and check the cans with salting. Throw away and sprouted vegetables - there are them unsafe, it is better to buy fresh foods. Rinse the refrigerator with a cleansing agent, review the storage system - it is possible that the shelves should be changed, put organizers for vegetables and fruits and so on. Unnecessary shelves can be removed - because of them your refrigerator is often difficult to close.

Hour
If you use an oven and microwave, at least once a month they need to rinse to remove fat drops, food residues and unpleasant odors. This work will take at least an hour, so be patient. The hostess advise to scrape the burnt food with the grilles with a lump of mint foil, and in difficult cases - emery paper. It is more common with the bench: pour the cleaning agent for washing the plates on the dishes, pour it with a small amount of boiling water and leave for 10-15 minutes so that the contamination is spacious and easily separated from the surface. Oven rinse with a soft sponge with a cleansing agent, and then leave open to the time so that the water evaporates. If there is an unpleasant smell, put it in the oven and run the bowl with dry soda or salt - when heated, it absorbs odors faster.
