Collecting my various tips and resources.

Change your language to change your feelings:

Instead of “I have to do chores.” try “I want to care for _____ (myself, my home, my clothes, etc.) or “I’m so glad I have a _____ that I get to care for” (home, car, pet, etc.)

Figure out why you aren’t starting – it doesn’t matter why you aren’t finishing, you don’t need to finish all at once.

Just put away one thing.

Just clean up for 1 minute.

Just organize for 5 minutes.

Put on a timer or a song – song ends, you’re done! Or a playlist when you’re ready for a longer session. You stop when the music stops…. or keep going if you’re on a roll and have time and energy to keep going.

Calculate what your time is worth to you (for example, if you make $15/hr, that’s 25 cents a minute. How much time do you spend organizing/moving around/takiing care of a thing? When does it become worth donating and just buying a new one IF/when you need it again?

Video tip (my take away was, can you replace in 20 minutes or less for $20 or less? If no and you haven’t used it recently (20 days?) then re home it.
