10 MINUTE WINS
(Seriously, just pick one thing from this list and DO IT! Then you can do another one if you want.)
DON'T OVERTHINK THIS!
DO CLICK THE "I DID IT" BUTTON WHEN YOU'RE DONE!
CLEAR OUT SOME CLOSET SPACE
It’s time to face the facts: if things go well, her wardrobe may need a home!
Idea: Imagine sharing and making spaces for a partner IF you want to live together! If that's not your intention, just keep everything cleaned up and comfortable for their visits.
FIX THAT LEAKY FAUCET
You’ve been ignoring that drip for months. Take care of it for YOU! Your next level is “handy and dependable,” not “lazy landlord.”
Idea: If you don't know how to fix stuff, get on You Tube or hire someone! Taking care of your home is part of self-care.
CHECK YOUR ENTRANCE
Give some respect to the entry to your home. Clear dust and cobwebs, sweep it out and make sure it's inviting!
Idea: Add flowers, plants, or wind chimes to your entry for good, welcoming energy.
TIDY UP ONE SPACE
Don't overdo this, just one space, like a drawer, or cabinet.
Idea: Clear out the junk, organize what you want, get rid of the rest.
DECLUTTER YOUR SPACE
If your home looks like a museum of old video game consoles, or a cluttery clusterduck, it might be time to tidy up.
Idea: Bonus points for making space for that killer vinyl collection your new partner will want to show off.
MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR PAST
Got an old flame or two still flickering in the background? Time to close those chapters.
Idea: Add or remove contacts from your phone. Organize contacts into groups for quicker connecting.
DECLUTTER THE BATHROOM
No one’s impressed by 10 bottles of half-used shampoo. Clear some clutter – and maybe get some new towels that match!
Idea: Clean out the cabinets in your bathroom and leave some SPACE for your partner! It tells the universe you want one around!
CLEAN YOUR FRIDGE
Grimy shelves and mystery leftovers aren’t romantic. Clean out the fridge! Get some fresh groceries and healthy snacks.
Idea: Bonus points if you stock up on some fancy nibbles and make charcuterie for your next date night!
TIDY UP YOUR BOOKSHELVES
Stacks of old magazines and dusty knick-knacks aren’t cutting it. Organize your shelves, and keep them clean and inviting.
Idea: We often don't see what's around us every day. Ask a friend to help you see what needs cleaning or decluttering.
CLEAN YOUR VEHICLE
A clean ride sends the right vibes – you’ve got your act together (mostly). Do it for youself, you deserve it!
Idea: Get a car wash membership, or put a note on your calendar to go to a self serve vacuum place monthly.
TACKLE YOUR WARDROBE
Loungewear, baggy shorts and sloppy tees have their place. Level up with some sharper, stylish looks that say you know how to adult.
Ideas: Donate stuff you haven't worn in 2 years.
SORT AND FILE STUFF
Gather up those "things you intend to go through". File them, or recycle tham! Piles of papers laying around are super lame.
Idea: If you don't know where it is, you don't have it.
STILL SCROLLING? DID ALL OF THOSE FEEL OVERWHELMING?
Ok, start smaller.
Choose 1 of these 5 minute wins instead.
Your energy is probably stuck, so let's free it.

Posters from your favorite 90s movies are cool, but how about mixing in some stylish art or framed photos?

BOOST YOUR SOCIAL SKILLS
Before dating, get out of that hermit vibe! Start connecting with friends or joining social groups without any dating intention.
