Very motivating!<br/><br/>I've been trying to instill the motto "take it with you" to my kids - before you leave a room, find a "wandering item" and put it away as you go somewhere else in the house. Too complicate - I like your idea MUCH better! I feel so good reading blogs today - seems that everyone is cleaning up and cleaning out! Very motivating!

I'm going to try this with my 4 yr old...he has a problem with picking up anything. A problem he inherits from his Dad. If I do this when they're both home and make a game out of it, I could really cut down on a lot of frustration! Thanks for the tip. :) This is a really good idea!

I set the timer for 15 or 20 minutes and we all run around and work as fast as we can to clean up the house. I do NOT, however, have a place for everything. Not yet. I'm working on it.
