Success Factors – Habits

I said earlier that the number one success factor is self discipline. 

The number one thing that will help you out with that is getting in the habit of forming habits.

Habits put it all on autopilot so that there is hardly any effort or self discipline involved. I like that!

Today I am trying out a new habit.

It's something that a lot of people, especially organized people do naturally. But I don't.

DRUMROLL PLEASE… 

To put things away from the last activity before going on to the next.

I think you can call it cleaning up after yourself .

I've been making a concentrated effort to do this today and it's great. All the progress that I've made so far over the holidays is still clean.

No new messes except for a box that I'm sorting in the livingroom. Hope to have it sorted and put away tonight.

NEW HABIT FOR THIS WEEK?

I am going to try this for a week. And hopefully longer!

If you have a problem with messes appearing out of nowhere, maybe this is something you might want to try too.

Or maybe you can try something else.

Choose one thing that you know you should be doing, try something small to start. And commit to it this week.

I'd love to hear what you choose!

If you want some help with it, Cara of Housework Helper is putting together a program called This Weeks Focus on her blog.

You should check it out as well as her website and weekly podcast which is getting raves.
