Paralysis by Analysis

Lots of people think about getting back in shape. They go on the computer and research training plans, nutrition, cardio regimens, gyms, sports and more. There is so much information out there and often people want to figure out what the best thing to do is. The problem is we spend so much time researching and not enough time doing. In the time spent sitting at the computer we could have gotten up gone for a run or walk, done some pushups, sit ups and so on… The same thing happens with our money! We research paying down debt, investing, stocks, bonds, and mutual funds until our head is spinning and in the end we accomplish nothing. The solution for both is to take action and make a change!

Spring Cleaning

Kitchens and bathrooms are breeding grounds for germs, so keeping them clean just makes good sense. But did you know about the link between tidy living spaces and mental wellness? After these long, dark winter months spring cleaning can revive not only your home but also your mind and spirit. Mess equals stress and it keeps you from things you love and contributes to feeling overwhelmed. We all want a clean home, but not everyone knows how to achieve this.

Here are 3 steps to creating a routine that works for you:

  1. Create a task list room by room.
  2. Decide how often each task should be performed (daily, weekly, monthly).
  3. Set aside 45 minutes each day to check items off your list (15 minutes before work, after work and before bedtime works just as well)
