<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nOne Minute: Skincare and sunscreen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Ok, perhaps it takes a little more than a minute to do your skincare, but it can be done. But it most certainly takes far less than a minute to put on sunscreen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have that one minute to spare in the morning, use it productively. Use a Vitamin C serum if you can tolerate it. It brightens your skin and gives it clarity. Use hydrating products. I find that in the day, when I’m out and about a lot, and it’s hot, my skin needs more hydration than at night, when I can treat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One Minute: Wipe down surfaces regularly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n This includes your kitchen surfaces, bathroom or even your dressing table where you keep your skincare. Dust can settle, and it isn’t pretty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don’t have to do it all at once – it’ll take you more than a minute! LOL! \ud83d\ude00 But if you do it immediately, it’ll take you mere seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wipe down your kitchen sink after using, and run your cloth over the counter top. Wipe down your bathroom sink after using it. Wipe down your dressing table once a week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One Minute: Take out the trash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n It’s easy to let things slide, but it really barely takes a minute to tie up your trash bag and walk the short distance to the bin to toss it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your house will be cleaner and pest-free \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One Minute: Don’t let it rule your working life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n While I find the One Minute Rule very helpful to keep my home clutter-free and make me more productive at home, I draw the line at using the One Minute Rule for work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know many proponents of this rule tell you that you can use it to clear your email Inbox or perhaps, if you are on social media, to reply to quick comments or questions. That is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I believe that anything that is work related requires a little more cerebral action, to be sure you don’t make any mistakes or gaffes that will take you more than a minute to resolve in future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, when it comes to work, take your time to think about what you need to do and the consequences of what you say or the decisions you make. When it comes to work, and to life in general, taking time matters more than knee-jerk reactions \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One Minute: It’ll make your life more orderly but it isn’t gospel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Basically, if it is a little task that you think you can perform and complete in one minute or less, just do it now and not leave it till later. It’ll actually be more productive, especially if you’d like to keep your home clutter-free, neater and cleaner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, do note that it isn’t gospel. You don’t have to do EVERYTHING at one go. It’ll take you far more than a minute. Instead, just make it a habit each time you pick something up, to make the effort to put it back where it belongs. Or pick up a piece of clutter as you walk by, and put it where it should go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The little things you DO NOT do will pile on each other and then you’d need to dedicate a whole DAY to clearing up house. Similarly, the little things that you DO do, will make that a lot easier to manage! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you feel overwhelmed at the thought of having lots to do, breaking it down into little manageable chunks, and chipping away at it makes far more sense than just sitting there, giving up in despair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I can say for sure is that it’s helped me. And if it helps this clutterbug, it’ll help you too! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nDo you practice the One Minute Rule? What other things can you do in one minute?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n I’d say that you may not find this useful, if you are naturally predisposed to being neat and tidy. This tip is for those of us who struggle to maintain a neat, tidy existence and household. It’s been helpful to help me stay (almost) clutter-free and hopefully, this helps you too! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I shared about my useful one tip to corral clutter a while ago. I’m notoriously bad about picking up after myself, which doesn’t quite bode well for living in a clutter-free home. A few weeks ago, I went for a house-viewing, and I was stunned at how well-kept it was. It was neat, tidy and<\/p>\n
