Home Time Management Step 5: Put Your Plan into Action
Step 5 is the most important one in determining whether the change you seek will be fleeting
or lasting. While the first 4 steps are really important, this last one is crucial.
That's because without action even the best of plans is worthless. Because of that, today
I'm going to focus on how you can put your plan into action so that you will see permanent
change in your home time management. I could really do that with just three little
words that have made a particular shoe company (probably) billions of dollars… JUST DO
IT. But, because I know you're human, I'll add in some of the "How" to go along with
that slogan. Right off the top of my head I can think of
at least 3 things that will help you put your plan into action.
* Make a Commitment to Action Each and Every Day
* Set Up Your Life to Encourage That Action * Keep a Memento to Keep From Backsliding
Make a Commitment to Action Each and Every Day
Nothing happens… nothing changes… without full commitment. Otherwise, it's so easy to
just keep pushing things aside and figure that you'll work on it tomorrow. You'll give
it your full attention tomorrow. You'll focus better after vacation.
No… action starts today and it continues every single day.
If you've made the commitment to clean out your guestroom so that you can actually have
guests in there, then work on it 15 minutes at a time. Consistency will pay off big in
the end. You won't believe how those little baby steps
will really add up. Set Up Your Life to Encourage That Action
I've always said you can set up your life for success or you can set it up for failure.
Whatever you're working on set yourself up for success by making it easy to DO that one
single thing. If you're a music lover then keep a radio
in the room you're working on so it will help entice you in there. Pick a time when you
have the time, energy, and can play your favorite music as loud as you like. Or when your favorite
talk show is on. Keep a Memento to Keep From Backsliding
It's important to me to exercise. In the last 2 years I've put on 60 pounds because I quit
walking every day. I would just get so busy working and writing and creating trainings
that I didn't make time for it. I do now.
And I keep a picture that I HATE of me when I was at my largest. It stays in my purse
and when I'm scheduling my week, it ensures that I schedule in exercise.
You could take a picture of that messy guest room or piled up laundry to keep you focused
on action each and every day. If you found this video helpful then don’t

Also, I’d love it if you’d “Pin” me and pass me on to your friends.
