Just realized the 5 minute tidy rule actually works for me
I used to let clutter pile up until my kitchen counter was buried under mail and random stuff. After 3 weeks of setting a timer for exactly 5 minutes each evening, I clear off that surface every day. Anyone else find a super short time limit makes decluttering less overwhelming?

100%, I do the same thing with my desk before bed. It's wild how five minutes a day keeps it from becoming a whole weekend project.

Makes sense if you treat it like brushing your teeth instead of spring cleaning.

The nightly routine thing never sticks for me, just ends up feeling like another chore.
