1-Minuten-Habit für 7. August
Fluff the pillows on your couch
Warum dieses Habit hilft
Environmental psychologists have found that ordered spaces subconsciously signal safety to our nervous systems, while visual clutter triggers low-level stress responses.
This 60-second ritual is what designers call 'resetting the canvas' - a small act of care that transforms a space from 'lived-in' to 'living-ready'.

Kurz erklärt
Interior designers consider pillow fluffing one of the '5-minute miracles' - tiny acts with disproportionate impact on a room's vibe. The Japanese call this practice 'katazuke' - restoring objects to their proper form.
Neuroscience reveals our peripheral vision constantly scans environments for disorder. Fluffed pillows create clean sightlines that allow the brain to relax its threat monitoring.

💬 Deine Erfolgsgeschichten
I started fluffing pillows every evening as part of my wind-down routine. What seemed silly at first became surprisingly satisfying. My partner noticed the difference and began doing it too - now it's our unspoken signal that the workday is officially over.
