Welcome to this week's issue of Weekly Simplicity Tips. We are so proud of our nephew who just graduated from Marine boot camp. We got to see him this weekend before he leaves again for more training.

Project Breakdown

So often I have clients who can't start something because the whole project seems overwhelming - whether it's decluttering, planning a party, losing weight, getting finances in order, creating a business plan or a work project.

As a client our first step is breaking that project down into small pieces. This is one of my skills, creating turtle steps that help you lose fear of the project and keep the momentum going. It's fun to check off task after task.

And before you know it - the project is done!

So I decided to offer this service to anyone. Often it's easier to see how to make things smaller when you aren't involved in the project.

You can get a 15 min project breakdown session with me for $15.

If you are stuck, and need to find a place to start, sign up here:

Or you can go to the Project Breakdown page:

Then shoot me an email at beth @ mysimplerlife.com (without the spaces) to get scheduled. This session can be by phone or by chat.

Your Simpler Life Bundle

1. When you are decluttering or organizing have someone hang out with you who can keep you on task.
2. Exercise with a friend for accountability if you are having trouble sticking with movement.
3. Schedule 1-2 hours paperwork time at least weekly. Or daily 15 min.
   
4. Set earlier bedtimes if people in the household have lots of trouble waking up.
5. Can you drop a leadership position or a club if you feel short of time?
6. Don't overschedule the kids this summer. Remember what your favorite summer activities were?
7. Create a shoe area with a rack or storage so your shoes aren't in piles.

I help the overwhelmed create saner, simpler lives. I deliver...

Untamed possibility. Breathe easier simplicity. Hope.
On the wings of understanding and encouragement.
Step by step breaking down from “no way! “ to “why not?”

I’ve helped people declutter & organize, lose weight, learn to manage time, gain self-confidence, learn to focus, practice self care and simplify their lives so they can do what’s most important to them and their family. I love giving hope to people that come to me thinking it can’t be done. I was not born organized, I’ve had to learn the skills. Things like overcoming perfectionism and procrastination. And knowing what is for dinner before 5pm.
