The 'one minute rule,' popularized by Gretchen Rubin, encourages individuals to tackle small tasks immediately if they take less than a minute. This approach prevents the overwhelming accumulation of chores, such as tidying up or answering emails. Dr. Caroline Fenkel describes it as a 'micro-intervention' that helps combat feelings of being overwhelmed and promotes a shift towards productivity. The technique is gaining traction on platforms like TikTok, where users apply it to various everyday tasks, finding relief from stress and a sense of control over their responsibilities.
"If something will only take 60 seconds to do then you should do it right away."
"The one minute rule is a type of 'micro-intervention,' which means it's a small way to help you slowly shift from feeling stuck to feeling in control."
