59: O.H.I.O.: Only Handle It Once

In this episode, Rick and Teresa discuss the organizational principle known as OHIO, which is an acronym for “Only Handle It Once”. OHIO is the idea of tackling a task or making a decision immediately so as to avoid having to revisit it, saving you both time and energy later on. This is a productivity strategy that can change your life. Putting things off can quickly add up, which creates stress. When you take care of something right then and there, it doesn’t weigh on your mind or distract you. We must begin to make decisions and then move on. OHIO!
