Your Secret Weapon This Busy Season

I’ve shared the 5-Minute Rule before, but this time of year feels like the perfect moment to bring it up again. As the season gets busy, new items come into the house, and routines get hectic, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

The rule is simple: if a task takes 5 minutes or less, do it now! Little wins—like putting away dishes, sorting the mail, or returning items to their home—quickly add up. These small actions clear mental clutter, create more space in your home, and help you stay calm and prepared during the busiest time of year. Try it today and see what a difference it can make. Make it a game with kids and set a timer, prioritize things that make you feel empowered!
