Tidy Tip Tuesday ✨ is here with a game changer to keep your house tidy on the regular. You may have heard of using the 2 minute rule to complete tasks around the house but we are increasing it to five minutes so you can be even more productive in your daily life.
Most of us have some form of a to do list running through our brains at all times. And there’s hardly ever a time when you can cross every single task off the list. With the 5 minute rule, you can filter out those smaller items and save your list for the bigger projects that need completing.
Basically, the rule is this, when you are going through your list of to do’s or you spot something in the house that needs to be done, ask yourself how long it will take to complete. If it can be done in 5 minutes or less, do it now, don’t wait.
Clutter and disorganization are really just postponed decisions and tasks. It’s letting those small things pile up until they become this huge chore and can sometimes feel insurmountable. By utilizing the 5 minute rule, you’re choosing not to postpone the decisions and getting yourself one step closer to a neater nest. I use this rule daily in my house to keep clutter off the countertops and keep up with daily household chores like laundry, making the bed, or disinfecting surfaces.
What’s something you put off that you can do in just five minutes? It’s probably a lot more than you think. We’d love to hear, comment below 👇
