Wouldn’t it be good if spring cleaning your life was as easy as spring cleaning your house?
I know my friends in the South may not agree, however I’m a little fed up of rain. I’ve been waiting for spring so that I can start my spring cleaning and it seems like all its done since the daffodils came out is rain, rain rain.
However I’m not just talking about spring cleaning my house. I consider Spring to be a time to start new stuff. Its a time when green shoots are coming up through the soil, lambs and chicks are being born and a really good time to feel alive.
Back in January I talked about achieving PAR (A personal annual review). This was all about looking at the great stuff we had all achieved last year. January is also a time for setting goals. Something that many of us set out with good intention and then by April, if we haven’t already achieved them it is easy to let them fall by the wayside.
That’s the point when I start Spring Cleaning. You see spring cleaning is all about looking at what is cluttering your life and getting in your way then if you want to – you can throw it out. So here are my top tips on Spring Cleaning Your Life:
- Review your goals. What have your achieved? At this point give yourself credit for everything that you have succeeded in. Its likely to be more than you think.
- Make a list of what is outstanding. Ditch everything that is no longer important to you. Cross it off your list.
- Review whats left. Ask yourself a simple question for each one. What is standing between me and achieving this goal?
- By each obstruction, jot down an action or step towards dealing with each one. Remember no step is too small.
- You should now have a list of actions. My preference is to stick them all down in an action plan and put it somewhere I can see everyday and tackle one regularly, i.e. one a day or 3 a week.
How will you tackle your outstanding items?
