As many working parents will tell you, trying to manage childcare, work and taking care of the home can feel like an impossible task.
One mum, however, has revealed the genius method she uses for keeping on top of all her household chores in a matter of minutes - and it sounds so easy.
Nicole Kerr, from the US, recently went viral on TikTok after she shared how she manages to keep on top of looking after both her children, working full-time and taking care of her home - while her husband also works three jobs.
The 25-year-old uses a unique method set up by a woman known as the 'fly lady', which Nicole claims as helped her get on top of her household jobs and made her feel a lot more organised.

Posting from her handle @mrsnicolekerr, Nicole explained that she sets a timer for 15 minutes a day and during that time she does as much decluttering or cleaning in one 'zone' or room as possible.
The fly lady cleaning method consists of setting a timer for 15 minutes a day and doing as much decluttering or cleaning in one 'zone' or room as you can.
In addition to that, the method also includes an hour of 'home blessing' which is time dedicated to bigger cleaning jobs, such as changing bedding, hoovering, taking the rubbish out or dusting.
The principle of the fly cleaning method is that keeping on top of jobs by doing little and often will allow you to avoid creating huge messes that take hours to clean.
"I'm never overwhelmed with the cleaning anymore, which is saying something coming from someone who has two children three years of age and under," the mum explained in a clip.
She recommends downloading the fly lady cleaning app which includes a timer and helps you divide up your time effectively.
