Pick a room or area of the house. Or perhaps a big project you have been wanting to accomplish and work on it for 30 minutes today!

30 Minute Thursdays can make a REAL difference after a few weeks....so you don't have to do it all.....but set the timer and get 30 minutes in....!!!

I spent half an hour in the guest room (aka the room with heaps of boxes and no room for a guest...) Made a bit of a dent which is great, and managed to dig out all my Christmas cookbooks ready for Rudy Day in a few days :)

Thirty Minute Thursday! Ah Ha! THIS is something we really need! Devoting thirty minutes towards a project we have been thinking about beginning!!! There is a perfect project waiting -- right beside my front door.

We have concrete steps, leading up to a small front stoop/porch. You ring the doorbell. You wait for someone to answer the door -- and look idly around. One one side -- is a lovely rose bush. On the other side -- is an area full of weeds and 6" tall trees that have NOT been planted there -- and ivy beginning to climb up the house in a NOT GOOD way.

This area should be cleared out. There are some columbines there -- that COULD self-seed -- if they were not being choked to death by the ivy. So THAT will be my project: Thirty Minutes each Thursday! I can't devote a whole day to it! But.... I CAN give it 30 minutes each Thursday!

Back inside from my first try at Thirty Minute Thursday! I was able to fill a big lawn bag with ivy and small trees and branches from the small area by my front porch! Thirty minutes was enough to make a NOTICEABLE difference! And - it has morning shade -- so it wasn't bad at all!

I like Thirty Minutes Thursday! It is VERY helpful!

Certainly did! It's amazing how much time 30 minutes actually is. I'd get through a good amount and think my timer must have stopped or isn't working properly. Then I'd discover I still had about 10 minutes left!
