If you didn't already clear your desk by the end of the day on Friday, do it first thing this morning.

It's a great way to start your Monday.

When your desk is clear, it helps you focus on what needs to be accomplished for the day.

Only keep files you are currently working on close by.

Have a great day!

Press the Reset button on life.

We all screw up from time to time, get angry when things don't go our way, or find ourselves having just one of those days.

Remember - that's all it is, a bad day, not a bad life.

Take a deep breath, and some time to reset and recharge.

Meditate, listen to music, or go for a walk.

This will help you get back on track and make sure that the days that follow are productive.

Remember to declutter.

Spend the few extra minutes it takes at the end of each day to straighten up around you and your space.

Not only will you feel better, you will start the next morning fresh and with a clear head.

An extra benefit - you will be able to access important items and info when you want them because you'll know where they are…thus saving time in the process!

What part of the day are you at your best?

When are you the most creative?

When are you the most focused?

I do my most creative and focused work in the morning.

I complete tasks in the afternoon that don't take as much thought or energy.

Schedule each activity or task based on your energy for each of them.

“Clutter isn’t just the stuff in your closet. It’s anything that gets between you and the life that you want to be living” - Peter Walsh

I know when I have clutter, it disrupts my thoughts and emotions.

Do you feel this way too?

It’s a good motivator to help get things done.

Time is going by so fast.

It's officially tax season already.

This is a good time to get your paperwork and receipts in order for your accountant.

If you don't have a system for gathering receipts going forward, a simple option is labeling an envelope for each month.

I know it's a bit old school, however it keeps the receipts organized and easy to retrieve when needed.

The same can be done electronically as well.

Create a folder for each month and add the receipt to the folder.

If you need or want some help, please feel free to reach out to me.

Delete junk from your computer.

Files stored on your computer may not take up room on your desk, but they can fill a hard drive very fast.

Delete drafts, duplicate files, and out-of-date versions of files and keep only the ones you need.

If you no longer have use for a large attachment that was sent with an email, delete it.

These can take up an amazingly large amount of space!

Your computer will thank you!

Want to start decluttering and don't know how or where to begin?

Start by doing a ten minute purge.

Set a timer for ten minutes.

Eliminate all distractions - no phone, email, or TV.

Pick a room or area you want to work on.

Have a trash bag ready and fill it with items you know you no longer want or need.

When the timer alarm goes off, throw the trash bag away right now!

How do you feel?

Notice if you and/or your space feel different.

I would say, you both will feel lighter for the experience!

This is a good time to either do another ten minute purge, or schedule one in your calendar for another purge soon!

Do you find yourself having trouble focusing on your work?

Look around at your desk, your computer desktop, and your work space in general, to see if any of them need to be tidied up a bit.

Clutter overloads our senses and makes it harder to get stuff done.

Take a few minutes at the end of each day to straighten up your space so that when you start your morning, you can get right to the projects at hand.

You have a project you want to finish today.

An obstacle presents itself at the last minute.

What can you shift, so that you can still be productive towards your intention for the day or for the project?

It’s always a good idea to have a Plan B in the wings, in case an obstacle gets in the way.

If you have to put aside Plan A, you will still be productive with Plan B.

And you will have eliminated stress as well.

You can pick up Plan A next time.

It’s ok to spend some quiet time alone every day.

Some people meditate, some people go for a walk in nature, some sit in a comfortable chair for 15 minutes and just be.

It's ok to do that.

It's key to our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being to stop for a bit and just be.

Some of the results you will feel include a sense of calm, thinking more clearly, being more productive, and feeling better overall.

Take some time out today.

Notice how you feel.

Enjoy the day!

How do you remember to handle items that need to be acted on within a week of receiving it?

Some set a reminder on their phone, or add it to their paper calendar.

Another way is to place the item or a note regarding the item in a brightly colored folder.

This way you know it is something urgent to be taken care of immediately or by its due date.

This can also be used as a backup plan if you either forget to set your phone, add it to your calendar, or forget to look at your calendar.

Make sure to put the folder where you can see it.

Weekends are a time to relax; doing things you enjoy; being with friends and family.

That said, you may want to find an hour or two over the weekend to clean out your inbox, knock out smaller, mindless tasks, or get a head start on any looming projects.

Doing this while watching your favorite sports on TV or a movie on Sunday evenings can be a great way to get something done without it feeling like you're doing too much work.

I always find myself getting at least one 'thing' done so that it's not waiting for me on Monday.

Being a perfectionist has its positive side.

However, when it comes to time management techniques, it is not a good thing.

A better approach is to shift your mindset, and be less perfect about some things, so you can concentrate on what's important.

Sometimes it's better to do things just to get them done instead of focusing on every little aspect that may not be important in the long run.

01/06/2025

When you have lots of thoughts about all the things you need to get done, write them down.

Instead of everything swirling around in your head, jot them down so that it clears your brain and prevents you from getting overwhelmed.

Then you can take care of each item one by one in a more calm manner.

01/03/2025

Be present at home and at work.

Everything is moving so fast these days.

Focus on people, not issues.

Listen to your customers, employees, friends, and family.

When you treasure each moment and the people you're with, you'll worry less, laugh more, and take a break from whatever dilemma you might be facing.
