Details of the Done by Memorial Day Class by Phone

Classes are 9-10pm est five Monday nights starting 4/21

Wondering if this class is for you?

If you have ideas swirling, notes or even chapters but just can't find the time to work on it then this class is for you.

During our one hour a week together over the phone we'll write, share and stay motivated to finish the draft.

Need Some Motivation?

Those of you that have been receiving my Clutter Challenge for some time know that I like to toss in a success in 18 minutes of less challenge every so often.

Try it this week, it really makes a big impact!

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 is success! Congratulations, Jamie

Bonus Tip: A great place to match your unused and unloved items with someone who will use and love them is at www.Freecycle.org try it today!

WARNING: Freecycle should come with a caution sign since it is so easy to log on and forget to post your items by getting caught up reading about everything people down the block are giving away. Stay focused, post and turn off the computer.
