Welcome to this week's tips
Hi Everyone,
This week I was able to see West Side Story at Hope Repertory Theatre with some friends at church. I love going to live theater and music events. They make me feel alive. As does standing out in the wind right before a storm. I've gotten to do that twice this week.
The tiger lilies are blooming and the clementis has a few blooms on it (pictures below).
This week's blog post is on changing your mindset about interruptions. My 20-year old cat features in it. You can see his picture below as well.
If you don't have time to do all 7 tips, pick the one or two that are calling to you. Put them on your calendar or to do list.
Play fast, faster, fastest. How can you make one system in your life work faster? Can you take the tops of hampers? Plan meals for a month, instead a weekly getting out your recipes? Can you put a hook right where you need it?
Move something to its point of use. Move your cooking utensils from the counter to next to the stove. Or put a mail station where you normally open the mail.
Place a wastebasket in every room.
Think of some financial goals you have. Next time you go shopping, ask if you really need that or would you rather save for _________.
Put a timer next to the computer and set it for 20 minutes before you play on the computer.
Clear everything off one counter. Wash it down. Then only put back what you use more than once a week.
Go somewhere where you can spend one hour in silence.
Do you have those things that just never seem to get done? Things you procrastinate on like organizing a closet, making a difficult phone call or a business report? Get It Done Day is for tackling that energy draining to do list. Working together, laughing and connecting with others who don’t have “it all together” (which we know is an illusion anyway) can be a fun way of completing those things.
I want you to feel centered, responsible and less frazzled. To move forward with your goals and projects and find more energy by finishing up those incompletes.
Accountability is the best way I know to conquer procrastination.
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?”
