Success in Just 18 Minutes or Less plus a BONUS TIP
Welcome to all my new friends from the All About Women Event yesterday, it was a pleasure meeting you! Those of you that have been receiving my Clutter Challenge for some time know that I start each month out with the success in 18 minutes of less challenge. Ill do the same this month, but Im also going to give you a bonus tip at the end. Lets start with the Success in 18 Minutes or less! Well kick off each new month in 2006 with this fantastic technique so you start the month on the right, 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. 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. 4. When the timer buzzes you are done! The job may not be complete but you are done! 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. Thats it, try it today, because life gets much simpler when you can find what you need when you need it and this is a great small first step.
