Generating Good Luck!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
It’s the day where people all around the world get dressed up in green, meet up with good friends, and celebrate the day and night with good luck charms by their side.
It really is great fun!
I have this picture of my Mom when she was a little girl standing in front of a thatched cottage in Ireland where she was born. Perhaps that’s where my love of cottages began. In any event, I love it so much, I think of it as my “good luck charm.”
But, the day also reminds me of how many people out there rely on sheer luck to get through their clutter. Although I am a big fan of the luck of the Irish, it does take a little bit more than that to get your “stuff” in order.
I have a 3 step process that just might produce a little luck if you’re ready to put a little muscle behind it.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Assess the clutter
Go through every area of your home. Room by room. Then on a scale from 1-10, (10 being the highest amount of clutter) rate your clutter accordingly. This way you have an accurate picture of what’s happening and you’re facing your clutter challenges.
Step 2: Choose the clutter
Based on your rating, select an area where you would like to begin. Depending upon your level of energy and/or how much the clutter is affecting you, you can either dive right into the most cluttered area or start with the smaller amount.
Step 3: Prioritize the clutter
Show up like you mean it! Figure out how much time you think it’s going to take you to tackle the clutter in each area and then schedule it. Put it on your calendar, planner, to-do list, whatever it takes to remind you that you are taking this serious.
Do this consistently and you’ll generate your own good luck for clutter-free living.
Again, here’s wishing you a great St. Patty’s Day! Go green!
