Cobwebs seem to show up in corners all by themselves... even when you haven't seen any spiders. If you don't get to them promptly, they tend to gather a layer of dust and take on an odd, fuzzy appearance. Spend 15 minutes getting rid of them and make your whole house a little cleaner.
Scoot items in the corners out of the way if you can and set your timer. Grab your broom and a couple of dry rags or paper towels. Sweep the line where the wall meets the ceiling from as far as you can reach to the corner on both sides, then sweep the corner itself all the way to the floor. Use a rag to clean off the end of the broom and move on to the next corner. Even if the dust and cobwebs are really bad, you can probably knock out at least 3 rooms in 15 minutes. If it hasn't been too long since you swept your corners, you might be able to get the whole place!
Safety thing: Anytime you're working above your head like this, you risk getting stuff in your eyes. Wear some kind of glasses if you can. If that's not an available option, a baseball cap is a decent second choice. Squint and turn your head away when you can, no matter what protection you have.
