Notations From the Grid (Weekly Edition): On the One Minute Rule.....

 

"What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while." -Gretchen Rubin

Food For Thought The One Minute Rule Our lives are filled with clutter, both physical and mental. It surrounds us, it penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together, as the saying goes.  But here to save the day is the One Minute Rule: anything you can do in one minute or less, do without delay. Because it’s rarely the huge tasks that weigh us down—it’s the neverending minutiae. A liberal application of the One Minute Rule can help declutter our day-to-day activities and free our minds from the stress that keeps us from tackling those bigger projects. If we commit to doing these small tasks throughout our day, surface-level clutter will disappear. And that absence of "physical noise" leads to a better sense of control over our lives. "A simple life is not seeing how little we can get by with—that’s poverty—but how efficiently we can put first things first... When you’re clear about your purpose and your priorities, you can painlessly discard whatever does not support these, whether it’s clutter in your cabinets or commitments on your calendar." -Victoria Moran We talked about these ideas in-depth in our conversation with Gretchen Rubin.
