Do you ever feel like every which way you turn you see a reminder of something you need to get done? Today we’re talking about those pesky little tasks that require our attention each and every day but because they’re so small, we push them off until later… and they build up and cause chaos. What if I told you you’re just 1-minute away from sanity if you start to apply what we learn in today’s session? These 3 minutes could change your life. Marisa Moon, NBC-HWC, marisamoon.com

The struggle is real!
I like the idea of tackling small tasks before they become large tasks. I’m totally guilty of allowing things to slide and become nearly too overpowering to complete! Faced with the prospect of going in to business for myself once again, I NEED to get better at time management and attacking tasks when they are presented, rather than letting them slide. I SWORE I would never start another business of my own, yet here I am with several contracts for work to complete, and I’m having issues motivating myself! My main issue is that I’m a “ducks-in-a-row” sort of guy, and that often trips me up! In my stroke-addled mind, everything has pre-requisites! Certain tasks MUST be completed BEFORE I can move forward with important tasks...

So true
Heard about this one before in some book and I can vouch for its effectiveness. Makes life so much simpler

Conquering my stack of mail
And my coffee mug too! I’ve allowed my mail to just accumulate and I try to wait for a free Saturday so I could tackle it but Marissa’s right I should just tackle it when I pick up my mail.

Just 3
I always struggle with tasks. I make lists and everything, but I never complete all of them. I think this method of organizing my priorities will help me a lot, it is very simple and easy, you just have to choose the 3 most important tasks you need to do and start by doing them, then you do all the rest. It looks very useful and I really hope this will help me 😁

So obvious!
One minute tasks. So simple, so easy, so quick, so obvious. Who can’t do this? But who has ever bluntly pointed out the obvious? Marisa, is your mother aware she gave birth to a genius in the fundamentals of living a happy life in today’s world? I most certainly hope so!!!! If not, someone better tell her!!❤️

Minimizing...
It really is amazing how much you can get done in a minute. And those minutes add up quickly with visible results. Great rewards, minimal effort - sounds like a good value to me... Count me in!! Thanks for the info Marisa! ❤️☮️🍀

Helping...
I have been practicing the one-minute to Sanity rule for awhile now and it is helping! If it can be done in less than a minute or so, I focus on doing it. Sometimes making it a fun game by seeing how much I can cram into a minute! ❤️⏱🍀

Life hack in words and work.
Knowing the one-minute rule is pretty life-organising for chronic procrastinators like us who love pushing tiny to tiny works till the last second, until they amount to some voluminous stuff, cumulatively. Hoping to try to practise this rule as much as possible!

The thing that bothers me every single day is the kitchen. I hate the dishes and I hate the countertops. They feel sticky and thinking about them makes me think of diseases and my stomach gets uncomfortable just imagining cleaning them. If I were to divide it all into one minute tasks I would clean one small dish at first taking one minute right after I’m done eating off it. I will not let it sit on the counter top, instead I will use a one second impulse to pick it up, go to the sink, and start cleaning it with my brush. I do not have to think about anything else, only the first one dish.
