Do you have a certain day each week that you take care of items on this list?
How would you feel, if all those important elements of your life were organized on a weekly basis?
When you are organized, you're on top of everything from the boring stuff you tend to put off to the fun of not missing out on events that are on certain dates. How many times have you missed out, because you didn’t plan it?
For instance, when I pay my bills, I focus on how grateful I am to have the services and objects in my life that make it such a
When you claim a specific day of the week to plan, and then you stick to that regularly, you’ll begin to see that you can actually set aside tasks that fit into your weekly work schedule. In other words, you can have a pile of papers to file once a week if you’ll do it. You can add to a list of people to thank, if you’ll really do it once a week. It’s only when you don’t do what you’ve piled up for the week, that’ll you get into trouble.
Once you get into the habit of having a specific day of each week for specific tasks, you’ll love the freedom it gives you. When you really follow a weekly plan, nothing will get too overwhelming. An important thing to remember is that it takes about 21 days to really establish a habit.
If for the next three weeks you use a specific day of your choice to plan, you’ll be amazed at what you’ll accomplish. It’s important to note, that just because you’ve designated a day like the one I’ve described, it doesn’t mean you can’t do some of those tasks on other days, if it’s convenient for you. As an example, I have a Ziploc quart-sized bag in my purse with Thank You notes in it, along with stamps. I’ve been able to write so many Thank You notes in those times while I’ve had to wait when I’m out.
