Every Thursday, I share one action, habit, or project you may want to undertake in order to improve your health, happiness, and sense of well-being.

If you are finding value in our PROJECT OF THE WEEK Newsletter, we would greatly appreciate it if you would spread the word. Your friends and family can click HERE to sign-up.

PROJECT OF THE WEEK

Tomorrow is only a day away, right?

I will start eating healthy tomorrow.

I will start exercising tomorrow.

I will start meditating tomorrow.

Getting Started

I am willing to admit that I am SO guilty of the tomorrow statements. I know the right decision is to start (or start again) now, today, right this minute, but the easier decision is to start tomorrow.

I also know, even though I have the best intentions, that I am NOT to be trusted. Tomorrow means someday. Someday I will make the healthy choice and get back into the habit and routine.

What is interesting is that while I am SO guilty of this with my health, I rarely struggle with this when related to productivity and work.

Of course, there are times I push off projects until tomorrow. However, even when I do that, I check the remaining days of the week, in case I can't follow through on tomorrow. I need to know the backup plan because I do PLAN on starting.

We may all have different areas of our lives where we procrastinate on what we know is best for who we want to be.

The answer is simple, yet so hard.

So, how to get started you ask? Be like Nike - just do it.

How can you start today, right now?

When can you trust yourself that tomorrow means tomorrow and not someday?

Who can help you hold yourself accountable?

Pick a day on the calendar, circle it, plan your calendar accordingly, and perhaps find an accountability buddy that you can check in with.

A Note from Happy Spaces

The goal is to add value to your life. If you think this project will add value:

Estimate how long you think it will take. I would recommend doubling the time you estimate.
Look at your calendar over the next week and pick a date and time to get started.
Make an appointment on your calendar for the estimated time.
If you estimate that completing this project will take longer than one hour, I recommend doing it over multiple days. This will support you in getting started!
Prior to starting this project, take a few minutes to make a step-by-step list of EVERY action you need to take to complete this project.
It's not all or nothing. You can choose to implement only the parts of this project that add value to your life.
An Accountability Partner can be a great support in following through on your goals and commitments.

We understand how challenging it can be to implement new habits and systems. For additional support please go to HappySpacesBySarah.com.

Creating a life you don't need a vacation from! ®

Sincerely,

Sarah Weingarten

Meet Sarah

Growing up as the oldest of nine siblings in Upstate New York, I learned to use organization to create sanity among the chaos. Today, I work together with individuals, families, and small businesses to create habits, systems, and spaces that support their needs, goals, and dreams. Clients often refer to our work together as "life-changing" and "better than decades of therapy". What I love most about my work is the lasting impact it has on real people's lives. Nothing makes me happier than hearing the many success stories of clients I have worked with.
