Clean up the living room in only 15 minutes

Friends call you up and tell you that they will be dropping by in about 30 minutes. You just got home from work, your living room is very messy, but it could all look great again in about 15 minutes.

You need:
1 box for stuff you want to keep
1 garbage bag for things you want to throw out
1 tray
1 damp cloth
1 dry cloth

Put glasses, bottles, cookies on the tray and off to the kitchen
Magazines, newspapers, laundry, books - put in box and off to the bedroom
Banana peels, empty cookie boxes, etc. go into the garbage bags and throw in a room where your guests will not go

Clean TV screen, picture frames and other surfaces with the damp cloth in one hand and the dry cloth in the other

Take a stack of magazines or books and place them on the coffee table in the living room

And finally sit down and relax.
