Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

Good morning.

This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast.

Today's tip is to keep a quick fix list so you can use unexpected chunks of time to make your home more pleasant and streamlined.

When we find ourselves with extra time at home, it's easy to fritter it away, tidying up or watching TV. Then we wonder

what we've been doing with ourselves. And paradoxically when we're spending more time in our

homes we are probably noticing more annoying issues

that we really do intend to fix. The pantry door that sticks, or the shelf that holds towels

and several months supply of soap, sugar, and garbanzo beans

arranged in no particular order.

The weird light fixture you meant to have replaced when you moved in, several years ago. We all have nagging mental to-do lists like this and

it's not really a big deal to tackle these items. Most take an hour or less, but

it's also not a big deal to live with them undone. So we do live with them, often

for an embarrassingly long time. Ask me how long it took to get rid of two light fixtures I disliked when we moved into this house nine years ago.

Now is a great time to make a quick fix list with all of these to-do's.

Write the tasks down on paper so they are not hanging over your head

and so that when you do have time to spare, you're able to remember them.
