If you've read my blog, you know that I love quotations. Profound thoughts, straight to the point and understandable.
A fellow coach, Jackie, has written "Coaching Quotations", with over 2000 personal development quotes. And these are not quotes that we've all seen millions of times. These are fresh. And she categorizes them - change, fear, humility, money, patience, etc.

I spend a lot of time in this environment. So I tried to have colors I enjoyed, candles, oils and cuticle cream for small breaks, and comfy headphones for music. I like it to feel creative, but organized so I can find things. It's still not exactly how I want it, but I am bringing it closer.

1. Play fast, faster, fastest. How can you make one system in your life work faster? Can you take the tops of hampers? Plan meals for a month, instead a weekly getting out your recipes? Can you put a hook right where you need it?
2. Move something to its point of use. Move your cooking utensils from the counter to next to the stove. Or put a mail station where you normally open the mail.
3. Place a wastebasket in every room.
4. Think of some financial goals you have. Next time you go shopping, ask if you really need that or would you rather save for _________.
5. Put a timer next to the computer and set it for 20 minutes before you play on the computer.
6. Clear everything off one counter. Wash it down. Then only put back what you use more than once a week.
7. Go somewhere where you can spend one hour in silence.|||111991575638785406|||Weekly Simplicity Tips

Saturday we took the kids berry picking. The strawberries were huge, ripe and juicy. And yesterday afternoon we went to the beach for the first time this year. I came back from this weekend renewed.|||111929373405887050|||Play Time Go to the Archives, and click 'republish all'.
