1- Get your ‘to do’ list out of your head and into an action plan.
2- In each area of your home/ office note what needs handled in each area.
3- Choose which areas and actions take top priority.
4- Stay focused on what you will experience at completion rather than the task at hand.
5- Feel how great it feels to build a record of completions (before you even get started).
6- When decluttering begin with an energy draining area you notice often. Once cleared it will have the opposite effect making you feel great and energized.
7- Every thing has a home. Hardware with hardware. School supplies with school supplies. The hammer is not in a living room drawer (unless, of course, it makes sense).
8- Be aware of distractions. Set boundaries to avoid squandering time by saying ‘no’ to the tv, phone, e-mail, and limiting time with visitors, etc.
9- Set a goal for the amount of time you aim to spend in the area you are working to maintain productivity.
10- Work quickly through a section of clutter. Resist the temptation to reminisce.

Refuse to be Intimidated by a Challenge
Hi Readers:
Hope you all are staying excited and in action in the new year. As the cute little girl scouts begin
roaming around going door to door with their scrumptious cookies it is a sign to me that it's
about the same time I begin hearing grumblings of obstacles getting in the way of those new
year's resolutions. It doesn't have to be that way.
William Arthur Ward shows us it's all how we look at the challenge. He shared: "The
experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain-- he is inspired by it. The
persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem--he is challenged by it. Mountains are
created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to
be solved. It is better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills"
We all hear the stats on how many people fall off their goals. What we don't hear is how many
people set goals and achieve great things. If they can do it... you can, too! Hold your eyes
on that end result you want every day! Just as if you have already achieved it.
Stay confident in who you are. You are capable of more than you know. If you need help, ask.
If you need answers, seek. If you need rest, rest. Remember how amazing you will feel when you conquer your mountain and how it can change life in new directions.
Refuse to be intimidated by a challenge. Stand strong in who you are. Take action to
experience progress and build confidence. Ask yourself:
~ How can I approach an obstacle as an opportunity to learn, grow, quell a fear, gain
strength and become better for it?
~ How can I face the challenge so that I am inspired to persistently take steps forward
with zeal; consistently anticipating how great you will feel for having the gumption to
see it through?

Set Your Intention to Learn & Watch Your Life Change
Learning daily leads to developing skills and self. Think of a football team at the beginning of spring training until the end of a season. Or a student at the beginning of a school year until the end. They develop so much by learning and developing skills daily. We all learn and grow on a daily basis but we can grow in greater strides when we are intentional about about learning something or building a skill.
Developing skills and self cultivates confidence. Confidence provides strength to endure tough times, and changes a lifetime through better choices and better results. Someone who is confident will make educated decisions and be more willing to take a risk to accept an opportunity. They are more willing to stretch outside of their comfort zone. Their communication skills improve. They are more likely to rise up to their abilities instead of hunkering down in their comfort zone. Be intentional to learn daily through:
~ Reading something worth reading- Choose something you have an interest in and learn more about it. Build your expertise.
~ Listening to someone who has value to share- Who do you admire that you would love to chat with in order to learn more about who they are, where they came from, and how they grew to be who they are today? Who has great knowledge in an area of interest to you? Is their a class you would like to take?
~ Learning from experience by taking new actions- We learn by doing. No one learns to swim without getting into the pool. The more you are willing to do or try, the more you will grow through life experience.
What could you get excited about learning? Who do you admire that you would love to chat with and learn from? Is there anything you've been resisting that you could learn from if you got past the fear and just did it? Is there an opportunity that could make a big difference in your life if you committed to learning or practicing something?
Can you see how being intentional about learning can improve your quality of life? Learning more in a certain area and developing skills can lead to developing an expertise, more confidence, more opportunities, better decisions, and thereby improve your career, business, finances, communication skills, health, results, and more. Become an infinite learner throughout your life, and experience life shift into something spectacular!
