Success in 18 or Less!
We'll kick off each new month in 2006 with this fantastic technique so you start the month on the a clutter free note! Success in 18 or less goes like this: 1. Choose either a small task you have been putting off because it seemed too trivial to do OR choose a large task you have been meaning to get to, but you have not started yet. Here are two examples: the junk drawer is a small task, but meaningful since every time you go to get something you struggle to find it. Or your photos, by no means a small task, but since it is so overwhelming you never get started. Pick your task now, then 2. Set a timer in your home for 18 minutes, no more, no less. 3. Start the task! Just do it! Move something…just get started, often it is the hardest part. You might move one big thing or start with a small pile, your choice. 4. When the timer buzzes you are done! The job may not be complete but you have reached your goal. Step away from the project.
If it was a small task, you are finished. If it was a bigger project, put back all the pieces and schedule a time to do the next 18-minute block of time. Do you have a question about how to get started? What to do? What products you might need? Or anything else? Join our clutter discussion group and get your answer today!
