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.
CREATE COZY SPACES
Set up spaces for two! Create spaces in your home that invite connection.
Idea: Make it easy to be in your space with someone else. This helps it feel more like "our" place instead of "my" place.
ADD A LITTLE GREEN
Plants are the perfect way to show you’ve got some life going on in your space.
Idea: If you don't have a green thumb, buy a POTHOS and put trimmings into bottles with water.
They don't need much, and it shows you can take care of something – and that’s attractive.
DECORATE WITH REAL ART
Posters from your favorite 90s movies are cool, but how about mixing in some stylish art or framed photos?
Idea: Remain true to yourself with this! If you love posters, get them framed! Buy art that lights you up as a great conversation piece.
UPLEVEL YOUR SELF CARE
Even tough guys (or gals) need some TLC. Get into skincare, massage, or whatever makes you feel like a million bucks.
Idea: Exfoliate with a new scrub, then moisturize with a light lotion.
REVAMP YOUR KITCHEN SKILLS
Microwave dinners got you through the 90s, but learning to cook a signature dish or two can be a total game-changer.
Idea: Keep simple ingredients on hand to be able to whip up healthy snacks. Everyone loves a date who can make more than ramen.
START A HOBBY
Always wanted to play the guitar, master a language, or try paddleboarding? Now’s the time!
Idea: Being interesting never goes out of style, and when you talk about stuff you love, you naturally light up, and that's hot.
STOCK UP ON SNACKS
Have a stash of decent snacks on hand. It's time to step up your game!
Idea: A plate with hummus, cut up pits and some olives is a healthy, simple snack that's easy to have on hand.
MAKE YOUR PLACE SMELL GOOD
Invest in an essential oil diffuser, and keep things clean. Everyone loves a fresh-smelling home.
Idea: Get rid of nasty chemical fragrances and overpowering plug ins. Diffuse some peppermint and orange essential oils to brighten up the air!
SPACE FOR DOGGO
Sure, your IDEAL partner might love co-sleeping with fur kids, but if your bed if full of fur, Fido might need some new digs.
Idea: Start off assuming your fur kids won't be in the bedroom, and let that evolve if it does.
MAKE SOME NEW PLAYLISTS
No one said you have to ditch the classic 80s hits, but mix in some fresh beats too.
Idea: The right soundtracks can set the mood for anything, from a road trip to romance. Make them ahead of time and set the mood with music!
UPGRADE YOUR BEDDING
Invest in some grown-up linens, a cozy comforter, and a couple new pillows. Oh, and PLEASE get rid of bedding from past relationships!
Idea: Get 2 sets of sheets so you can put clean ones on right after removing the dirty ones!
BOOST YOUR SOCIAL SKILLS
Before dating, get out of that hermit vibe! Start connecting with friends or joining social groups without any dating intention.
Idea: Confidence and a good network of friends are attractive qualities. Practice social skills when there's little pressure. Ask friends for feedback on how you show up!
WAIT... IS 5 MINUTES STILL TOO MUCH?

UPDATE YOUR DATING PROFILE
Feeling ready? Ask someone who knows you well to help you write your profile. Take CURRENT PICS!
Idea: Be honest and authentic to a degree that's uncomfortable. Might as well learn right away if they like the real you!
TAKE A DANCE BREAK
Put on some music and just dance. It’s a great way to boost your mood and get moving – no skills required!
Idea: Learn some basic dance steps to share with a date. Make it fun!
WALK MORE
Walking is underrated! It's easy, gets your body moving, and gives you time to clear your head.
Idea: Bonus points if you invite a neighbor or friend along for a stroll.
LAUGH MORE
Laughter is the ultimate self-care. Whether it’s catching up with old friends or playing with kids, take time to enjoy a good laugh!
Idea: Find a podcast that makes you laugh and listen while you walk.
SUPER QUICK STRETCH
Stand up, reach for the sky, and wiggle those limbs like you mean it. Do whatever feels good for a couple minutes.
Idea: Thank your body for being strong and flexible. It's listening!
GIVE YOUR KEYS SPACE
Always losing your damn keys? It won't solve all your problems, but it will solve this one.
Tell someone that's where they go so you can ask when you forget.
BE IN NATURE
Whether it’s a walk in the park, a weekend camping trip, or even just standing in the sun for a few minutes.
Idea: Remember when we used to play outside? Get bubbles. Make someone smile.
DRINK WATER
Grab a glass and hydrate yourself. Even the tiniest bit of dehydration can turn you into a grumpy sloth.
Sloths are cute, but grumpy sloths suck.
LEARN TO MEDITATE
Even 5 minutes of stillness and breathing can shift your whole mood!
Idea: Use mindfulness and meditation more intentionally with a you tube playlist.
WRITE DOWN A GOAL
Write down one goal, and stuff it in your pocket. Touch it whenever you get distracted, and repeat in your mind what is says.
Several billionaires agree it will, so what do you have to lose? Mindset baby!
PRACTICE GRATITUDE
Think of 3 things you're grateful for. Summon an image of a happy place, take a deep breath, and smile at it.
Try not to resist how well this actually works.
DEEP BREATHING
Inhale for 3 seconds, hold for 3, exhale for 3, and hold on the exhale for 3.
Repeat this 5 times. This practice actually helps soothe your nervous system.
