Why a 15 minute cleaning timer works
- One room per block
- Speed over perfection
- Stop when it sounds
One room, no perfectionism, and a hard stop. Working against a clock prevents the drift into reorganizing a single drawer for forty minutes.
How to spend the fifteen minutes
| Minute | What to do |
|---|---|
| 0-1 | Pick one room and one bin bag |
| 1-13 | Surfaces first, speed over perfection |
| 13-15 | Bag by the door, ready to leave |

Questions people ask
How much can you clean in 15 minutes?
One bathroom, a kitchen surface reset, or a full sweep of the main room's clutter. Working against a clock stops the drift into reorganising a drawer for forty minutes.
What if the job is not finished?
Stop anyway and note where you reached. Two or three blocks will tell you the real size of it, which is more useful than a guess.
What if I do not finish in 15 minutes?
Stop anyway and note where you reached. The point of the block is that it repeats tomorrow, and it only repeats if it stays short enough not to dread.
