The Six Visible Surfaces, Cleared
Parents notice surfaces, not closets. Six places to clear in 30 minutes — and the apartment passes.
Steps
- 01Coffee table — clear everything except: one stack of three books, one candle, one cup or vase.
- 02Kitchen counter — one cutting board, one bowl of fruit. Everything else hidden.
- 03Dining table — wipe, set with one bowl of citrus or a small plant.
- 04Entryway — one tray for keys, nothing else. Coats on hooks.
- 05Bathroom counter — soap, hand cream, one candle. Everything else in a drawer.
- 06Bedside table — alarm, one book, one glass of water. The rest into a basket under the bed.
- 0730 minutes. The apartment now looks like an adult lives in it on purpose.
