Today, were zeroing in on one thats positively foolproof: the Call Your Mother method.
What is the Call Your Mother Organizing Method?
I worked with a client, Aviva, who felt guilty for not calling her mother more often.
It becomes a non-negotiable task and part of your routine.
This strategy can be applied to almost every area of life.
Its about creating space for what you love by simplifying the mundane.
The method also curbs decision fatigue.
Deciding in advance frees you from constantly deciding if or when to handle something, Gill explains.
Prevents Pileups
Oh, the ways a neglected chore can morph from tiny task to daunting duty.
Small, consistent effortsstop clutterand to-dos from accumulating over time.
Additionally, recurring routines give structure and reliability to your days.
As humans, we thrive on routine and predictability over chaos.
