Love this! My new favorite game-changer is “don’t put it down, put it away”… it helps reduce the everyday clutter that eventually piles up. Even when cooking it helps keep the kitchen clutter to a minimum :)

I learned about one-minute rule when you first wrote about it on the blog and I still think about it All. The. Time. It is such good advice. I wish I was better at keeping up with it because, like you, I feel so satisfied when I accomplish the little things throughout the day. Thanks for the reminder!

Keeping up with it can be tricky, but I'm so much better when I do! This reminder was for all of us!

i learned the phrase “only touch it once” from the somewhere lately girls and i think about it constantly. it helps me actually put things away instead of just shuffling from one pile to another. great tips!

Yes- came here to say the same thing! It is similar to "don't put it down, put it away" but helps me because it approaches it from an efficiency standpoint. Why touch it more times when you could just touch it once?

Although I don’t have ADHD many of the recommendations from @Strugglecare and her book- How to Keep House While Drowning- are excellent !
