7 Minute Sprint

This past weekend when I was at the dotMom conference I attended a breakout session on family management.  One of the little jewels I took from it was the "7 Minute Sprint".  Here's what it is.  Every night you set a timer for 7 minutes and you race around the house picking up stuff.  We have been doing our 7 minute sprint every night since Saturday.  So, far it's working!  The living room is staying picked up and so is the playroom.  And guess what?  You can get a lot done in 7 minutes.
