12 Ways to Make Your Life Easier and Less Stressful

Adopt the two-minute rule

When we’re tired at the end of a long day it can be hard to follow even the most simplest of tasks through. All we want to do is kick our shoes off, turn on the TV and veg out on the sofa. And so, we leave our shoes by the front door instead of putting them away. We pick up the mail and throw it on the side with the intention of opening it later. We leave our clothes on the floor thinking we’ll pick them up tomorrow. And we leave the dirty dishes on the side telling ourselves we’ll do them in the morning.But more often than not, we don’t. Despite best intentions, we get distracted or we run out of time. And all of the little tasks we didn’t do the night before lead to mess and clutter building up. And all that mess and clutter stresses us out. Make your life easier and reduce those stress levels by adopting the two-minute rule.
