It sounds too simple to work, but the one-minute rule completely shifted my daily routine. The idea is this: if something takes less than one minute, do it immediately.
Putting a mug in the dishwasher? One minute. Making the bed? One minute. Replying to that quick email? One minute.
Over time, those tiny tasks stop becoming mental clutter. The small wins snowball, and your morning starts feeling lighter, calmer, more intentional. This rule isn’t about productivity—it’s about creating pockets of peace.
