126. 10 Systems That Cut the Mental Load of Running a Home This Fall

Season 1 Episode 126 Published 1ย week, 1ย day ago
Description

Ten everyday systems worth checking this fall, from meals to laundry to your phone, plus the one Friday appointment that cuts the mental load of running a home.

You already have systems running your home, whether you picked them on purpose or not. Deciding dinner at six in front of an open fridge is a system, and it is producing a result. This week we are checking ten of them, grouped under the five principles of Organizing for Beautiful Living, so you can look at the result and decide if it is the one you want.ย 

๐Ÿ›’ The wait-24-hours rule, and why walking away from a cart is easier than walking away from a closet
๐Ÿš— The standing drop-off day that keeps your donation bag from becoming furniture
๐Ÿงบ Where laundry systems actually break, and it is not the washing
๐Ÿ”• Deciding once a week what gets to interrupt you, instead of deciding forty times a day
๐Ÿ’ฌ Default answers: pre-deciding your yes, your no, and your "let me check my calendar"
๐Ÿ“… The 30-minute Friday appointment that maintains the other nine systems

If you want to go deeper on keeping one capture point and one list, that idea comes from Getting Things Done by David Allen, which has been the reference point for personal productivity for more than twenty years.
