Good news: from getting organized to maximizing your time, there are some easy ways to stay focused and achieve your goals.
1. What Areas Need the Most Work?
Watching a reality TV show may be more entertaining than cleaning the green film off the shower stall, but it won't keep your home from becoming a biohazard. Establishing and sticking to priorities will help you spend less time worrying about what needs to be done and more time accomplishing your goals. Consider using Sunday evenings, when you normally mourn the end of the weekend, to go over weekly goals and priorities. This is a great way to stay focused on what you want to accomplish without getting ahead of yourself.
2. Cut Out the Junk
If you're like most people, you keep possessions well beyond their usefulness. When neighbors begin mistaking your garage for abstract art, you have a problem. Consider selling old appliances, clothing, and furniture that add clutter to your life. To avoid the hassle of a yard sale, use websites as eBay and Craigslist to sell secondhand goods. One day you may even be able to park your car in the garage.
3. Give Someone Else a Spot
Pledging to be more active in your community is an important goal. Instead of shying away from volunteer opportunities, make a point to reserve one day a month for charities or functions. Non-profit organizations are flexible when it comes to working with volunteers.
None of these tips will take effect if you don't implement them into your daily routine. It only takes a couple days of procrastination before you're smothered by daily tasks and confused about what to do next. You will change your habits only by being proactive and setting constant reminders. Remember, Rome was not built in a day. By being patient with your progress and approaching your goals sooner than later, you may have some great accomplishments to celebrate.
