However, women throughout the South have also learned to rely on their strength and creativity.

What Is the “Just 10 Things” Method?

This line of thinking often helps me jump-start a project or divide an overwhelming task into smaller segments.

Breaking a chore into bite-sized chunks helps me handle most monumental tasks.

However, its often helped me find a starting point.

I remember the first time I used the method to tackle a largepile of laundry.

Before I knew it, I finished folding everything in just a few passes.

It always helps to have a few tricks up our Southern sleeves to get things done.
