We’ve spent this whole weekend checking off little tasks like this and it’s been impactful! So far I’ve cleaned out dresser drawers, the jewelry on top of my dresser, and the fridge!

Yessss! It’s the best. I did my makeup drawer too and wow, what an impact on my mood!

We’re on winter break so I’ve been decluttering one area/room about every other day. I was able to donate a giant bag of clothes.

I utilize this tip for reading each day! I often get asked how I read so many books in a year and this truly helps. I work and have a family so as we all know we have to be intentional about doing the things that help us mentally. I don’t often have time to read for long periods but setting a timer is such a great idea!

I love thatt you apply this to things you *want* to do too!! Have you seen those little bookmarks with timers on them? My kids and I have them and they are so awesome for setting a time to read and sticking to it!

My bf was in the hospital last week and our house was dirty! I hired my office housekeeper to come to my house and she cleaned half of my house while I worked on the other half! It helped so much!

I'm so glad you brought in some extra hands and gave yourself the peace of a clean home amidst what sounds like it was a tricky time. Hope your bf is feeling okay!!

Love this mindset! It's an approach I take with work, too. Sometimes, I feel soooo unmotivated, and tell myself to complete just FIVE minutes of work. Usually, I get into a flow and keep going. Just starting is the hardest part.

It's so true, starting is the hurdle!!

20 minutes is so doable and it feels so good to accomplish some of those little tasks that pile up.

I set the timer to dust & hoover upstairs bedrooms and clean the bathrooms in 45 mins - it was like a workout I was a woman possessed 😁

43 minutes 👏🏼

I cleaned out my jewelry and ordered a bracelet holder and drawers for earring. Now the search for matching pairs and things that go together will be much easier.

That must feel great!!

Yup!!! It took longer than 20 min but it was worth it.

Well, this was timing! Every night I put my daughter to bed, I look at her closet and want to die. Thank you for motivating me to set a timer and see what I can accomplish. xx

Kids closets are a beast!! That will feel so good to throw a few minutes at here and there. 🙌
