Sarah fühlte sich oft überfordert, sobald sie sich an ihren vollgestellten Schreibtisch setzte. Überall lagen Papierstapel, und ihre To-do-Liste fand sie nur, wenn sie erst mal einen Haufen wegschob. Eines Morgens gab sie sich genau 1 Minute, um die Oberfläche freizuräumen. Sie warf ein paar veraltete Notizen weg, stapelte ihre Hefte und wischte den Schreibtisch sauber. Dieser kleine Sieg gab ihr einen unerwarteten Schub. Sie musste lächeln, als sie sich wieder an die Arbeit setzte. Jetzt räumt sie jeden Morgen einen kleinen Bereich auf — und startet dadurch mit Klarheit in den Tag. Mit der Zeit hat sich ihr ganzer Arbeitsplatz verändert. Diese kleine Gewohnheit ließ sie sich mehr in Kontrolle fühlen — und viel weniger ängstlich. Alles durch 60 Sekunden Aktion.
