Your time is valuable. How good that some tasks give maximum satisfaction with minimal effort – in the video you can see the most satisfying mini projects summarized!

"I'd like to, but I don't have time." With this sentence do you regularly push many small errands in front of you? You can do that, but at some point every task needs to be ticked off. Now comes the good news: most of these projects take just 15 minutes! And make your life much better in an instant.

1. Clean the refrigerator

Hui outside, inside inside: Even in the cleanest kitchen there are a few dark spots that you shouldn't look at up close. The fridge is definitely one of them. Open the door, eat in, close the door. Door open, food out, door closed. It's better not to take a closer look at what is hidden in the second and third rows and what is still waiting to be discovered in the vegetable compartment. Stop it!

15 minutes are enough for this: Clear everything from the refrigerator that is in it, check the shelf life and wipe all packs individually. What can no longer be eaten is thrown away. Transfer opened packs of cold cuts into Tupper cans and then Thoroughly wipe all floors and compartments. Don't forget the freezer too! Then put the food back in order of shelf life. The rule of thumb applies here: what can be kept for a long time moves backwards. Things that need to be used are at the forefront and therefore in your field of vision. Think of dishes for the next few days that you can use these foods with.

2. Wash all of your bras

Most of us treat our bras very neglectfully. If we think about it or if it is particularly dirty, the bras go into the washing machine. As a rule, however, they come straight back into the underwear drawer after wearing and wait for their next use. Hygiene really looks different!

Therefore: Find all your bras together and then into the sink with them. Because the sensitive underwear is definitely a case for hand washing. In just 15 minutes, you can quickly clean all of your bras and start wearing them again tomorrow without any worries. Here you will find care tips that will keep your laundry beautiful for a long time.

3. Tidy up your Tupperware closet

You can find it in (almost) every household: this one cupboard, behind which the Tupperware is piled up in threatening stacks. Containers and lids have found a dangerous balance that can fluctuate at any time. So practically every time you open the door of the closet. We seem to have inherited this from our parents, who in turn have it from their parents. So that you don't pass it on to the next generation: Clean up your closet with tins and containers!

Cans for which the lid is missing fly away. The same applies to covers that do not belong anywhere. Old, heavily soiled or dented cans, or those that smell so foul that you don't want to put anything edible in them, either. You will see: Suddenly there is so much space in this closet! Now place the large cans down and place the appropriate lid underneath and then stack them from large to small. It's really not that difficult – and can be done in just 15 minutes. For the next few years, you will now have peace of mind from plastic avalanches that want to kill you as soon as you even touch the door handle.

4. Finally make the shelf

There are simply things that you really don't want to do after work. This also includes rummaging through endless letters from insurance companies and offices. A quick glance to see if any initiatives are required and the mail will go to the stack that you will go through someday if you have time. The good thing: You now have 15 minutes and can achieve much more than you think in these minutes. If you do your stack of trays regularly every two weeks for 15 minutes, he doesn't pile up so much and you have everything in view. Feels good, doesn't it?

5. Muck out your spice rack

Yes, you needed Baharat for this one extraordinary Arabic dish and the fenugreek seed was certainly a good investment, but unfortunately, since its unique appearance, the spices have been hidden in secret. And it has been for a good four years! So it's time to go through your spice assortment and see which of your herbs and spices are still stable, and which have long lost their aroma and belong in the trash. Amazing what you discover there: best before dates shortly after the turn of the millennium and the like. 15 well spent minutes of your time create more space and air in the kitchen and do you good in the long term. Because a clean kitchen can help you lose weight, for example.
