How to use Twitter as a cleaning tool

January 28, 2010

Twitter ain’t all bad. Here’s one cool thing to do if you tweet. Check out #speedclean and the explanation of it by Kelleigh Ratzlaff.

Here’s the basic idea: At set times during the day, you’ll see Kelleigh tweet that it’s about time to #speedclean. Then you set your timer for 5-10 minutes and tackle the spot she suggests (or another spot that’s applicable to you).

I just did it with her and in 20 minutes I washed the dishes, wiped the counters, swept the floor, started the pizza dough and threw a load of laundry in the washing machine.

(My own addition: I also thought I should multitask a bit so I prayed for Kelleigh as I was doing it. I don’t know Kelleigh, but hey, why not?)

It was cool knowing she was somewhere doing the very same thing I was doing. Made it a lot more pleasant. I love ideas like this!

    Thanks for the tip! I follow FlyLady, but I tend to read the tweets and think, “Huh. That would be a good idea to do that right about now,” but then I don’t do it. I will look into #speedclean!
