Have a Clutter Free New Year
Happy New Year! You may already know that I start each month with the success in 18 minutes of less challenge. I’ll do the same this month, but I’m also going to give you a bonus tip at the end for how to deal with bills and receipts! Let’s start with the Success in 18 Minutes or less! We’ll 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. That’s 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.
