Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Each day, the average American woman spends 2 hours and 15 minutes on household activities — cleaning, doing laundry, preparing meals, and more, according to a 2015 study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While men average an hour and 25 minutes per day — ahem — both sexes do spend quite a bit of time simply maintaining their homes. But what if you were to shrink the house to, say, 250 square feet? Obviously, the time spent cleaning would be drastically reduced.

"It takes us about 20-30 minutes to organize, fold and put away laundry, sweep and do dishes, compared to two or so hours to complete the same tasks in our previous homes," 250-square-foot house owner Alexa Nota explained. Susan Parrish, a writer who shares a 323-square-foot camping trailer with her partner, revealed in an article for HuffPost"Cleaning the house takes minutes, and that makes more time for our adventures." Sounds like total cleaning goals.
