All routines are a series of small actions. Your goal is to break down this time-consuming routine and look for small changes that simplify it. Our advice is to use the Tiny Habits concept to create a number of small processes.

For instance, you might waste 15 minutes every night rinsing your dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. You could streamline this process by setting up a new rule (for you and your family): “After I finish my meal, I will take my dishes to the sink, rinse them and then put them into the dishwasher.” Use this simple rule to chip away at your biggest challenge.

Once you start systematizing all those small actions, you’ll notice that many routine activities won’t take as long as they once did.
