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
Is it worth it?
We know that time is our most valuable resource.
Yet, we have so many ideas that feel exciting, valuable, and worth it.
How should we decide where to spend our time?
One way it to ask yourself, "If no one else knows I am doing this, would it still be worth it?"
Getting Started
Are you choosing to write a book because you want to add it to your resume?
Do you want to get that master's degree from Harvard, so that you can say you went to Harvard?
Do you want that fancy car, so that everyone can see how successful you are?
We should be proud of our accomplishments.
We should be proud to share our accomplishments.
However, we should work towards our accomplishments because it's worth it to us. Not to prove something to someone else.
What if your list of accomplishments for this year includes all things that no one, other than you and a few close friends and family, will ever see? Things like organizing your pantry, cleaning out closets, and getting your finances in order. Those accomplishments are all very much worth it - to you, to your family, and, likely, to your mental health.
When planning your next list of goals, as yourself, is this worth it and why.

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.

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.
