Happiness Habits: Change Your Life in an Hour via Good Housekeeping

Sixty minutes, once a week. That's all it takes to make you feel happier every day. 

Nothing is more exhausting than a task you never start. Those small, not urgent, mildly unpleasant tasks start adding up and weighing on you. The chores that can be done at any time are often done at no time. One small habit can start knocking away at those little chores, and at the stress they bring into your life.

One hour, once a week, to work on the nagging chores. Long enough to get something done, but not too long. Power Hour. The rules of Power Hour are that they can't be used for tasks that have deadlines because those items will get taken care of when they needed to be taken care of. This is also not the hour for repetitive tasks, such as bills or answering e-mails. The Power Hour is for one-time tasks that could easily be postponed indefinitely.

The more experienced you get with your Power Hour, the more quickly you are able to get things done. And the payoff is that you feel tremendously better afterward.
