Getting back to a daily tidying habit is refreshing. It has reminded me of the little things we do (or don’t do) that add up to something bigger. Little things like putting dishes and clothes away before going to bed.

“It will only take a minute” can be a good reason to do something now or a good reason to put it off until tomorrow. It’s just a minute anyway, so what’s the difference?

One reason to do it now is to tie up a loose end. The more we complete, the better we feel. Starting the day with fewer loose ends feels better than you might expect.

Do you finish the little things now or leave them for later?
