Vacation planning made easy!

"Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you Toward success - or are they holding you back?"

W. Clement Stone

For the past 10 years we vacation at this wonderful place with my family, and every year we pack the same things. Some years forgetting crucial items, while other years packing way too much. So, one day I sat down and wrote out everything we needed to take with us, clothing, food, sporting equipment, games and other necessaties. I even made a simple meal plan that required healthy meals with minimum effort to prepare. What a huge time-saver and stress releiver this has been over the years. A little pre-planning can go a long way towards a fun-filled vacation instead of disappointment and disaster.

You know the story…you all pile into the car, you’re trying to beat the rush hour traffic, you’re frantically making a list in your head and hoping you didn’t forget anything, you head out of town and suddenly you remember you forgot something. It’s too late to turn back, so you tell yourself you’ll just pick it up on the way or when you get to your destination. Who wants to be running around buying necessities when you could be having fun on your vacation?

Make your next vacation more enjoyable and relaxing so those obstacles don’t get in the way of you having fun! Here are a few simple vacation planning tips:

Keep trip things together – create a file for every new trip

Here's a simple 5-step process to transforming your office space and living clutter free forever. Remember your clutter did not arrive overnight therefore it will not disappear in one day!

1. Create your vision - How do you want to live and work.
2. Write out your plan - How will it look when it's organized.
3. Block time in your schedule - The first step towards positive action.
4. Select the right tools - Match your personal organizing style and habits.
5. Maintain your success - Keep the process flowing.

Action Challenge:

Often times people say "I'll do it later”, but later never comes. I invite you take a look around your office right now and answer these very important questions, "What would you gain if you organized your office and time around what's important to you? What slipping through the cracks and what opportunities are passing you by because of a cluttered office and schedule? What will getting organized free you to do?”
