Chores are typically drudge work that people avoid because they take up too much time.

But there are small and easy chores you can do to get a nice boost in self-esteem and motivation. Take a look at these 8 chores that only take half a minute, or even less

Empty the Waste Basket

Tying up full garbage bags only takes ten seconds. Add a sprinkle of baking soda at the bottom to stop bad smells.

Make the Bathroom Mirror Shine

Make the mirror clean and sparkly using a microfiber cloth with some ammonia or vinegar.

Clean Your Smartphone

Put a few drops of water on a microfiber cloth and wipe your mobile phone’s display clean.

Take Care of Your Pets

Clean your cat’s litter with a scooper and small plastic bag. For dog owners, give your pet’s water bowl a quick clean and refill.

Wipe Down Kitchen Surfaces

All you’ll need is a clean microfiber cloth and a household cleaner. Make sure to wipe the following:

• Drawer handles and cabinet knobs
• Kitchen cabinet fronts
• Microwave handle and door
• Stovetop
• Knobs and faucets
• Sink
• Refrigerator handle
• Kitchen countertop

Vacuum Entryways

Take out the vacuum and give the foyer, side doors and mudrooms a good cleaning. Stop dirt, grime and dried mud from getting further in as little as five minutes a day.

Run Through Junk Mail

Junk mail has a tendency to creep up on you and become a monster pile, but all it takes is five minutes max to get them sorted out. Don’t ignore them- give a quick once-over and dump the spam ones straight to the trash bin.

Clean Your Shower Walls

Use a squeegee for better efficiency. Ideally, this should be done after every bath, but a minute here and there can prevent soap scum buildup and make your bathroom look nicer.
