Hit 100 days of my 5 minute tidy rule and my desk finally feels like mine

I started this thing back in March where every night before I close my laptop, I set a timer on my phone for exactly 5 minutes and just put stuff back. Pens in the mug, sticky notes in the drawer, cables rolled up. Last night I realized I'd done it 100 times without missing once. That's 100 days of not waking up to a mess of coffee rings and loose paper clips. My desk in my little apartment near the bus depot used to stress me out just looking at it, but now it's the calmest spot in the whole place. The weird part is that I didn't even plan to count, I just noticed the streak when I checked my calendar. Has anyone else tried a tiny daily reset like this and found it actually stuck because it was so small? What's your version of the 5 minute rule?
