Few people like spending their free time completing chores. Unfortunately for all of us, there are some to-dos that simply cannot be ignored. Luckily, a few techniques can make the task a little more fun. These multitasking ideas won’t ruin your concentration, but are sure to make doing your chores a little better.
Start a New Audiobook
Get lost in a great book while you clean. Audiobooks and wireless headphones can make cleaning a whole new experience. Whether you are scrubbing the bathtub or sweeping the kitchen, there is no doubt that even the most tedious chores are more fun when you’re in the midst of a good story. Want to make it even more exciting? Find a book you love and only listen to it if you’re cleaning, it can be an enticing reward!
Do Your Laundry Every Day
Laundry is one task that modern technology has certainly made easier. Capitalize on your modern conveniences by doing a load every day. This is one chore that is easy to multitask and do while you’re completing a number of other activities! New washers and dryers even have smart alerts that can notify you when the load is finished–no more getting distracted and letting a load sit unattended.
Put Away Dishes Before Your Coffee
Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but coffee is the star of the show. While you are waiting for your daily cup to brew, take a few minutes to put away any clean dishes from the previous evening. This routine allows you to run your dishwasher while you sleep and makes it easy to clean while you snooze.
Listen to Music While You Cook
Make yourself feel like a chef at a fine dining establishment by adding a little class and fun to your cooking experience in the form of music. Instrumental music like jazz can be the perfect background to give your cooking a little more pizza and the best part is, if you utilize a kitchen streaming device, you can likely ask recipe questions as well. Cooking is about to become a lot more enjoyable.
