Omg I live by this rule. I didn’t know it was a Thing!! I even go so far as to time certain tasks that I hate, just to remind myself how short they are. 

Like, I’ll put a burrito in the microwave for one minute and before it’s done, I’ve taken out the trash and the recycling 💅🏻 

A full wipe down, clean up, etc of the kitchen after dinner (with a messy toddler) takes only 8 minutes. It’s so daunting but it’s less than 10 mins of my life! I can do it! Lol

Yes! I give myself challenges. Like, unload the dishwasher in one song. Actually, I've found playing music and giving myself those milestones to be super helpful! 

Ever since I saw the one minute rule while I was mundanely scrolling online, it has helped me pick up slack on some of the laziness I developed over the pandemic period. It’s doing things in one minute increments over the course of the day to stay more organized. 

For example, unloading the dishwasher is a task I hate but once I do it uninterrupted I notice it’s not that bad and doesn’t take me that much time. Also loading and unloading laundry. And making the bed. Oh and going downstairs to check the mail. It really just helps me psychologically even if it’s not a minute exactly my mind is like let me just get this over with.

Do you have any hacks that help you stay on top of things?
