Systems – Break Free

· Leave a comment ·

Where can you reduce clutter in your life?

Clutter can be overwhelming, from the constant buzz of social media to the accumulation of physical possessions and the mental clutter of overthinking.

Decluttering can be tough, but there are many ways to make it easier. One of my favorite methods is using life systems.

80% of my daily activities have a purpose and effectively minimize waste. I don’t overlook tasks that require attention, and everything is arranged for a smooth and functional flow. However, I live with other humans and animals, which explains why I say 80%. It’s impossible to control everything, and nothing is always as planned.

Having systems doesn’t mean you’re a robot. It means you’ve connected different tasks so they work together seamlessly. You’re automatically moved to the next thing on your list. Making small, consistent progress throughout the day makes big tasks feel less overwhelming. Plus, you can focus on your progress knowing you have a plan for each day.

So, how does a system help declutter material items? Well, if everything has a designated spot and you put things in their proper places, you’ll feel a sense of discomfort when trying to find something. And if your system is out of whack, it’ll feel like you’re drowning in clutter. But here’s the thing: organizing and staying organized can actually make a big difference for hoarders. It’s like giving them a virtual hug and saying, ‘You’ve got this! You can take control of your space and feel more at ease.’

I believe in living a minimalist lifestyle, where less is more and functionality comes first. But hey, everyone’s different, so if you enjoy collecting things or shopping, just make sure you have a place for them all!

Social media clutter can be minimized by eliminating it altogether. Most people are drawn into endless hours of scrolling through posts. While most of what we scroll through is insignificant to us, it’s easy to do so, and that’s why we do it.

When you use social media, remember to find useful content. Don’t let the ease of scrolling waste your productive time or what my kids call “brain rot” content to take over. You can either try to beat the algorithm or just let it go completely.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by clutter, I hope this post inspires you to take action and declutter your space. If you need help getting started, don’t hesitate to reach out!

What’s your dream job?

Too often I feel we are behind the times in what people need. There are too many agendas and not enough listening.

I’ve been in corporate jobs for 20 years and my favorite role has been the responsibility to engage my team. On an individual level everyone has value. Too often this is overlooked trying to meet the organizational goal and cranking onwards to the next mission. Organizations forget that without their team they are not credible and they are not meeting their goals.

How you treat people is directly reflected in the work they do. We no longer live in an era of dedication to a job because an employer rarely shows that dedication to their employee. Among other reasons of exploration and curiosity… if you are a good employer your way-finders will return. At the very least they will refer good people to you for employment.

My passion is helping people find their true value and having their voice heard in a meaningful way. In professional fields is where we need this shift more than ever. People have redefined what matters to them and employers need to engage in the shift.

Grow responsibly, financial, and people focused for longevity in your success. My dream job would be to guide people and ride alongside employers as they navigate the shift.

Challenge Your New Years Mindset

Do NOT get lost in the phrase, “New Year, New You.” I get that every year brings new opportunities, but honestly, every day does if you approach it right.

I bet you are not so terrible as a human that you need a total reset. How about we focus on, “New day, improved me.” What are you doing every day to be a better YOU?

Dig deep into your love language to understand how you should set reminders for each day

  • Word of Affirmation – sticky notes on your mirror and/or reminders that pop up on your phone. Simply say “Hey Siri or Hey Bixby or Hey Google, remind me “New Day, Improved Me. What are you doing today to be more; awesome, strong, positive, powerful, kind?”
  • Receiving Gifts – Set out a gift for yourself each day with a reminder to improve you. You only get that gift if you make progress.
  • Physical Touch – Write lists and check the boxes. Get friends or family involved to help motivate you if you are not a list person. The possibilities are endless fun with someone else rewarding your progress.
  • Quality Time – Set a goal that you do with someone else. Accountability can be greater when you have others counting on you to show up.
  • Acts of Service – If you are motivated by what others do for you then ask the closest and most accountable person in your life to remind you. Help get the things you need to be invested on your progress. If you have someone in your life that understands your love language and needs then this is a great one to keep you moving forward on your daily progress.
