I want to share a little trick that I’ve started to implement into my life.
It’s the acronym O.H.I.O and it stands for Only Handle It Once.
It’s really a beautiful thing because I’m a worrier, and I know we all worry.
If you have something that comes into your life and you have the capacity to deal with it, do it, and move on.
Then you’re not worrying about it. It’s done and you can move on to the next thing. The best part?
Energy can be put elsewhere.
A fun little thing happened to me, which was a reminder about this acronym… I moved recently, and I was bringing boxes just putting them in the House in random places, and then I started realizing if I just put them in their ACTUAL destination like the bedroom or the kitchen, then I only handle them once. I won’t have to lift them up again and take them to their destination.
I then I started taking that extra step to put them in the bedroom, in the kitchen, in the bathroom and I implore you to look at your life and see if there’s ways that you can only handle things once.
Get it done and get it off your plate.
