Three Simple Steps to Activate the Simplicity Switch
1. Clear One Surface – Choose a desk or kitchen counter and remove everything that isn’t essential. Keep only the items that serve a purpose or spark joy. 2. Trim Your List – Write down today’s tasks, then cut the list in half. Prioritize the top two that align with your core goals. 3. Schedule a Pause – Set a 5‑minute timer each hour to breathe, notice any clutter creeping back, and gently restore order.
