Happy New Year! 01/11/2010
I hope this post finds you saying a warm farewell to 2009 & embracing the transition to our new 2010! Many of my clients find the changing of a complete calendar energizing & motivating ... I encourage them to embrace whatever the feeling is and evaluate what they'd like to improve ~ SPECIFICALLY. So, I'm sure you can guess what's coming next :-) Resolutions. To be honest, I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions. Mainly because folks tend to make them too ambiguous. A list that looks like this:
Now, you may be thinking ~ "Gee April, why don't you burst my bubble a little more!" Just the opposite though ... I challenge you in the next week to adjust your 'list' by using those 'To-Do' items as a starting point {instead of the end all thing you're going conquer this year} And then let's check back in. So, here's what it would look like... Instead of: "Stop Running Late" Try:
Once you have collected your 'data' you can compare it to your long term goal & figure out exactly what part of "Stop Running Late" needs an adjustment. ** I once had a client who had no problem getting up in the morning, getting ready & driving to work ~ although, was rarely on time. When we took a closer look, it turned out that there wasn't any wiggle room for the toddlers to be picky eaters or for the time it took to physically corral the kids into the car ~ this took approximately 15 minutes {exactly how late this employee was each day}. By adjusting the morning routine to accommodate the extra 15 minutes, arriving at work went from sliding in {hoping no one noticed} to arriving calm ~ cool ~ collected. ** Leave comments on what your "resolutions are this year" & let's get some specific strategies underway that will help you find success! Till next week ~ Look for your Simply Organized habits, april |  Subscribe with your Kindle Learning Center Now Open!
