The Rule of One Time
|
Hey there! Ever notice how clutter can mess with your anxiety levels? I sure have. In fact, I find a messy house even messes with my sleep. When my personal space is all over the place, it seems like even my dreams get chaotic and my sleep is restless. I recently stumbled upon a super cool tip on the radio that I wanted to share with you all. It's called the "rule of one time." Basically, the idea is to handle everything once. So, when you pick something up, put it back where it belongs. This rule reminded me of a chat I had with a friend about placing dishes in my sink for later. She said, "Why handle it twice?" When you finish using a dish, pop it straight into the dishwasher, and you're done! Don't come back to the same activity later. Makes sense, right? This rule isn't just about dishes, though. It's about everything. Like hanging your coat up when you come home instead of tossing it on a chair. Or sorting through your mail before it even enters your house. Toss the junk mail in the garbage even before you walk back through that front door. This keeps things in their place and reduces the risk of losing things. Want more?

Hope these help you tackle the clutter and bring some calm to your life! Let me know above what you think of the rule of one. Xo, Ashley |

USELETTER | BRINGING YOU THE LATEST FROM FRUGAL COUPON LIVING. DEALS. FASHION. PRINTABLES. MORE. Hello Reader, How’s summer going so far? Some families are just kicking off the break, while others are already deep into long days, snack crumbs, sunscreen battles, and the endless question:“What are we doing today?” Wherever you are in your summer rhythm — excited, exhausted, or somewhere in between — this is your gentle reminder that it’s okay to pause, reset, and make room for what matters...
Hi Reader - Can I tell you something that might surprise you? Despite all the emails I send, all the creations I share, and all the planning tools you see on the blog… I’m not a natural planner. At all. I don’t run our summer on a color-coded schedule. What I do have — and what’s helped our family the most — is a rhythm. It’s flexible. It shifts day to day. But it gives our home a gentle flow, and it keeps us from feeling like we’re just reacting to chaos all summer long. What’s a rhythm,...
