You’ve had enough of the mess and clutter. Going around in circles trying to get your never-ending list done is driving you crazy!
Now is the time, you want to take control and move your life into the direction you have dreamed of, but where to start?
I know your anguish and frustration of wanting to move forward but there always seems to be something in the way.
I’m going to share with you the lessons I’ve learnt firsthand about how to move forward and take control of your spaces, your time and your life.
So let’s get started!
Take Control Inspirations.
SPACES
First lesson I ever learnt about keeping clutter at bay and keeping control of a space was to make sure a specific purpose is allocated to all the spaces. This will help you perform whatever it is you’re trying to achieve in that space.
Look around your home or business, where clutter occurs evaluate with these questions.
- What purpose does this space have?
- Are there items here that don’t meet this purpose?
- Where else could they live to help me be more effective here?
TIME
One of the things that helps us take control of our time is making lists. The mistake most people make when writing a “to do” list is that they put everything on it at once.
Your mission if you choose to accept it is:
- Only write on your “to do” list the things that you can or must complete today.
- Always give your to do tasks a ranking of priority, so you have a clear plan ahead.
- Write your “to do” list at the end of each day for the following day.
LIFE
In my mid 20’s I was fortunate enough to learn that it is impossible to feel in control of your life without a plan for the future and good organisation. If thinking about the future to set goals is difficult, then making a plan may be impossible for you.
Try these achievable steps to help you start thinking in future tense:
- Start listing the things about life today you’d like to change.
- Which of the items on your list could be the easiest to make happen?
- Write in past tense a list of the positive outcomes from making this one change.
