Declutter in One Minute Using the One Minute Effectiveness Rule
Stress Management, Time and Money Management Add comments
The One Minute Effectiveness Rule states that, “Whatever you can do in less than one minute, do it!”
There are lots of little nagging things that accumulate over time that can be decluttered, moved, put away, closed, fixed, tossed or some action that will give movement to otherwise stagnated stuff and energy. Doing what you can do in that precious one minute on the way by the stairs or kitchen counter, dining room table or through the mud room will also keep things from accumulating more.
I know it doesn’t seem like much, but doing just a one minute declutter at a time will bring peace of mind, more energy and cut down on frustrations and stress.
Plus, outer order contributes to inner calm. We can all appreciate having more of that!

Great thought! It is the many small minutes that add up and assist in decluttering. When things are tidy it does set the stage for a calm atmosphere!

I always say start with 10 or 15 minutes a day. Those 10 extra minutes sorting and organizing add up.
