I love the two minute tidy tip and have I found I enjoy it even more when rather than setting a timer, I press play on a fun, upbeat song. It’s the perfect amount of time and makes it feel fun!
Love this, Allie! I've noticed too how it's the little things that can really make the difference. This very week I set myself the task each morning of identifying one thing that could make my day that day, then I made sure I did it. I've just written about it, and would love to hear your thoughts: https://substack.com/home/post/p-164413875
That one… once I took away the guilt. Those nights I want to clear our fridge and waste less felt rewarding and made room for a clear guilt free mind to make dinner the next day
These are amazing tips! I personally always feel like if I have to do something completely or perfectly it causes so much more anxiety than when I tell myself it only has to be a little thing.
One of the reasons why I ditched my iPhone is that I couldn't figure out how it calculated screen time. I turn my phone off at 9:30 and leave it in anther room. I would close all apps, put on flight mode, and turn off. Yet night after night my phone registered me as being on my phone 24/7. Sharing this in case anyone knows why 😆
That’s so strange! I do feel that sometimes my screen time feels either way too high or way too low 😢 but ditching your phone in another room sounds like a great idea!!
Wow an average of 56 minutes a day is a dream
my goal, honestly

Yes that’s a great idea! Just tidy until the song stops 🎧🎶
I use the Amelia timer which cheers me on when I complete simple tasks. It’s often the encouragement I need to get things done.
I’ve not heard of it! Need to check it out 🤭

That’s a great idea!! 🥰
Thank you, it’s was a total game changer! Would you be up for a week of setting a daily intention in the morning? No matter how big or how small…🌿
This is the first habit advice piece I’ve read that’s ACTUALLY doable
“…leftovers without guilt”

Love this! But also, are those food images the easy meals you make, if so I would love the recipes!
Charging outside of your bedroom is key!
Great work. Thank you for sharing
This is lovely! Gentle self care 💕
The two minute tidy is also a life saver for me!
I love that! Thank you for sharing , the little cleanups changed my perspective on clean bedroom
I will definitely reference this from time to time! It really takes off the pressure of my perfectionist tendencies 🥰
This was written with my past perfectionist in mind 🤭
This was so good
Thank you so much 🥰
Such excellent advice --and you're right, not tough at all.
Thank you 🙏🥰

Same here. It is wildly inaccurate.
It's really unfair, honestly. But then, tech never is
