Welcome to this week's tips
Hi Everyone,
It was still lovely so we went on quite a few walks and a couple motorcycle rides
We started a fire last night in the fire pit. A few minutes later it started to rain. So Jeff moved the sun umbrella from over the hammock to over us. We had a lovely fire in the rain.
Feels like a metaphor for my life.
I did a whole bunch of decluttering and organizing this week (blog post coming). We got a new TV when we noticed we
could no longer read the text, subtitles and text messages on the TV. So we got a bigger TV, which meant a different stand for the TV, and no more entertainment center with lots of cubbies. And one thing led to another...
My procrastination
course is newly updated. There are many different ways to stop procrastination just as there are many reasons for procrastination. Or if you'd like more support, I can be your accountability partner for the month.

Weekly Simplicity Tips
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.
What impulses have you been following lately that you don't want to be? (Checking email, too much junk food,
gossiping)
When you feel jealous about someone, feel gratitude about what you have that's great. (And you can always start making changes to get what you want.)
If you have been feeling resistant to doing something, allow yourself to feel the feelings involved. Perhaps it brings up sadness, perfectionism, or inferiority. Deal with that and you are better able to do what you are resisting.
Only use one screen at a time as a trial. No checking your phone while
watching TV. Or playing games on your tablet while doing research on your computer. See how you feel.
Set a limit to your news consumption and try to get it from balanced sources.
Get on the phone and have a real conversation with a friend or relative.
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?”
Too many times we have good intentions, but if we don’t take action it doesn’t get done. I believe procrastination is one of the biggest barriers to living a life that we want.
Have you had great ideas, but never followed-through?
Do
household chores and work tasks not get done because you don’t like to do them?
Do you want to start exercising and eating right, but just haven’t gotten to it yet?
Do you spend so much time on other people’s projects, you don’t have time for your own?
Do time wasters like TV, chatting and shopping eat up time for your goals?
Does the thought of all your to do’s drain your energy?
Procrastination sucks our energy, causes
us stress, and lowers our self-esteem. We feel guilty and make excuses. I know, I am a recovering procrastinator. Don’t let procrastination destroy your dream of creating a life worth living.
Imagine waking up refreshed because you are feeling good about yourself. You are being productive and letting go of excuses. You do what you say you will. You plan your day, yet are flexible enough to rebound when plans don’t go as you want. Your life is more like
the life you have been dreaming about. Quit procrastinating and order now… or read the class description.
