The 10 minute timer trick for cleaning finally clicked for me

I kept putting off tidying my kitchen because I thought it had to be a whole afternoon thing. Yesterday I set a timer on my phone for 10 minutes and just focused on the counter by the stove, not the whole room. When it went off I'd cleared more than I expected, and I actually kept going for another 15, which never happens. Anyone else find that giving yourself a tiny window beats trying to plan a big clean?

My buddy Dan tried this with his garage last month. Set the timer, cleaned one shelf, then got so into sorting old paint cans he forgot to pick up his kid from soccer. Missed the whole practice, but the shelf looks great. Small wins really do sneak up on you, right?
