Brushing your teeth. Folding laundry. Taking out the trash. These boring, low-effort tasks are usually wasted time. But here’s a psychological trick…deliberately use them as a cue to think about something specific like a decision you’ve been putting off, a creative idea you want to develop or a feeling you haven’t processed.

Because your body is on autopilot, your brain is free to roam. And because the task has no distractions, it’s the perfect low-stakes space for mental clarity.
