Success in 18 Minutes or Less!
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. I’ll do the same this month, but I’m also going to give you a bonus tip at the end. Let’s start with the Success in 18 Minutes or less! We’ll kick off each new month in 2007 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.

SPECIAL BONUS TIP Tax time is around the corner, will this year be like last? Will you be sorting through shoe boxes and racing to the post office before midnight? Make this tax time less stressful by getting ready in advance. Create a single place to collect the tax documents that are arriving in the mail. Break up the large task into little ones by spending a few minutes one or two nights a week organizing what you need. Before you know it you'll be ready!
