Recycle Greeting Cards

My mother is notorious for losing her bookmarks. So she has begun recycling greeting cards. She chooses the part of the card or image she likes, cuts it to size and then cuts a fancy edge along the outside. It's a really nice way to continue to enjoy any card. And you don't feel guilty if you lose it!

Brush your teeth

Do you like to snack after dinner? Try brushing your teeth. It's a mental thing, when you brush your teeth your mind thinks it's the end of the day and you don't need to eat anymore. Plus, no one likes to get rid of that fresh-breath feeling :-)

Time in Between

If there is time in between food prep, I'll load or empty the dishwasher, set the table, or any quick chore I can do in five-ish minutes.

MORE INFORMATION:
I do this because sometimes I just don't feel like doing chores and having a time limit helps me not feel overwhelmed.
