Boost Productivity and Reduce Stress with These 3 Quick Hacks

Did you know? 89% of people procrastinate on organization tasks because they feel "too big." But research shows micro-habits under 5 minutes are 3x more likely to stick than ambitious overhauls.

This week: I am here to show you three research-tested resets to help you conquer your stress at home, work, and in your mind.

The 5-Minute "One-Drawer Rescue" Set a timer for just 5 minutes and tackle one drawer using the "3D Rule":

• Discard: Research from UCLA shows that removing just 10 unnecessary items can lower stress hormones by 19%.

• Donate: Keep a donation bin handy in your closet or car for easy drop-offs.

• Delegate: Place misplaced items in a "goes elsewhere" box—but only return them after your timer ends.

Participants who decluttered even a single drawer reported 23% less morning stress.

The "Power 3" Method: 60-Second Prioritization

1. Brain dump all your tasks onto one sheet of paper or a digital doc.

2. Ask: "Which 3 align with my top goals this week?"

3. Post those 3 visibly until they’re done.

The "Scent Shift" Ritual for Mental Clarity Try this simple reset:
