52 Habits To Change Your Life

52 Habits To Change Your Life
66 117EmailShare The belief I have with all organising is that it boils down to adding new, good habits to your day to day life. Alongside great systems and routines, habits are key to becoming and STAYING organised. Habits will become part of your life without you even thinking about them. We all brush our teeth each morning and evening – it takes a few minutes and then is done. My organising philosophy is:- Systems + Routines + Habits = Organised Habits underpin everything we are trying to achieve, and can be so simple to implement. I have written down my top 52 for you here – 1 for each week of the year. Its a great challenge to see how far you come in a year – thats enough time to really change your life and set a way forward that you can really achieve and stick to.

We go on a cleaning spree and give (or sell) it all away. But that's only a temporary fix. Living small requires a more permanent shift. You might find it hard to believe, but there is a growing demographic of people convinced that no person needs a house full of possessions to survive. These aren't tent-dwelling hippies, but successful, intelligent individuals and families who have rejected the stuff-cluttered life for something more meaningful. On the brink of turning 30, Millburn and Nicodemus (pictured above) discovered that working 70-80 hours a week for a corporation and buying more stuff didn’t fill the void.

Organize Your Whole House with One Trip to the Dollar Store There are any number of excuses I can make for why I haven’t taken the time to organize our house: not enough time to do it all, don’t know where to start, organizational supplies are too expensive, etc. It’s easy to get discouraged and quit before I am even started. But the truth is, the supplies to get an entire house in order don’t have to cost a small fortune. Most of them can be found right at the local dollar store. To prove this to myself, and to you, I took a trip to my local Dollar Tree. ONE trip, no going back for forgotten items or things they didn’t have in stock. The uses for some of the supplies are obvious; you use the drawer organizers to organize drawers and the laundry bags to hold dirty (or clean) laundry. I have compiled 100 ways you can organize your whole house using items from the dollar store. 1. 14. 19. 22. 26. 28. 35. 37. 40. 42. 49. 54. 58. 61. 63. 64. 66. 69. 74. 78. 80. 82. 83. 86. 88. 90. 91. 94. 97.

15 famous people who mysteriously disappeared The Lost Roanoke Colony. The Dyatlov Pass Incident. The death of Natalie Wood. We love a good unsolved mystery, and unexplained disappearances that have managed to baffle historians have also intrigued the general public.

Who: Henry Hudson Missing since: 1611 Where: James Bay, Canada Henry Hudson (a.k.a. the famed British navigator who has a river, bay, straight, town, bridge, etc. named after him) must have been a rather pushy fellow to work for.

IHeart Organizing The Art of Getting Started This is my first blog for , and I've decided to begin at the beginning. Like many writers, I dread the start of a new piece of work, or, to put it more accurately, I dread the of the start. To begin anything is to open myself up to the possibility of failure and disappointment, two things nobody enjoys very much. Ideally, I would only ever embark on projects that were guaranteed to be perfect both in conception and execution, and were therefore also guaranteed to be anxiety-free, but as it is I am a real person doing real things in the real world, so my choice is to face the anxiety - the feeling I mentioned earlier - or never get anything done ever. Perfectionism is, apparently, functional for some people. More often, though, it's caused me grief . It wasn't until my mid-30's, when I was finally diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, that I really understood what had been going on in my head and in my college room.
