"Sometimes you have to take a step back before you can take any steps forward - and this adage definitely applies to taking care of your home. Whether you want to start a brand-new hobby or habit, do one thing to make your home your happy place, or devote your energy to physically refreshing a room, you'll want to first approach it with our productivity trick to ensure that whatever you do has staying power. That trick? The "one word" method."
"It's important to set your intentions and goals before you start making any progress on them. Without that preparation, you might easily lose track (or even momentum) of what you want to accomplish. That's where the short and sweet "one word" method comes into play. Focusing on a single word to motivate you will help you inch one step closer to finishing your goals."
Apartment Therapy offers the January Cure, a free 20-day program that delivers daily assignments by email to help refresh a home for the year. The program encourages setting intentions and goals before taking action to maintain momentum. The "one word" method simplifies motivation by focusing on a single word—descriptor, noun, or verb—that encapsulates the intention behind a goal. Choosing a straightforward, fun, or intention-driven word can guide new hobbies like journaling, pickleball, or language learning and support broader aims such as spending more time outdoors. The Cure runs every January, April, and September.
