Power Hour Reset: Tame Household Chaos in 60 Minutes a Day
School’s back. Work’s wild. Your kitchen counter is missing under the clutter. Setting aside one hour a day can pay off big for your household.
October in North Carolina hits different. The beach towels are traded for backpacks, the calendar fills up with everything from soccer practice to PTA meetings, and your home starts to feel more chaotic than cozy. It’s the season of transition and it can feel like survival mode for many families.
That’s where the Power Hour Reset comes in.
What’s that?
It’s not magic. It’s not even complicated. It is the intentional practice of setting aside one hour per day to regain control of your space, your time, and your peace of mind.
How’s it work?
You choose the hour. Morning, evening, naptime, after dinner, whatever fits. The goal? Reset your environment and reset your mindset.
What can you do?
Here’s a few things we’d recommend tackling during your daily reset:
✅ Declutter high-traffic areas (kitchen counters, entryways, laundry drop zones)
✅ Review the next day's schedule and lay out what you need
✅ Pack lunches or prep dinner ingredients
✅ Check on your budget or bills
✅ Fold and put away laundry that’s been living on the couch
✅ Back up important documents or photos
✅ Review your insurance policies
Yes, you read that last one right. Because in a season full of surprises, being prepared goes beyond your calendar. When's the last time you reviewed your home or auto coverage? Do you have flood insurance? Do you know your deductible?
We recommend using one Power Hour each every few months to check in with your agent or revisit your policy docs. It takes less time than a Netflix episode and can save you major stress later.
