Tip #24 – Keep a Clock and Radio in Your Bathroom

Being late is NOT a good way to start your morning! Keep tabs on your time by keeping a clock in your bathroom. Set times for yourself; for example, put on makeup for a certain amount of time. When the time is up, you are done. Same for your hair. Also, listening to the radio or a cd may start your day off with the right mood – a “ready for the day” mood. What music gets you pumped? What music calms your mind? Whatever is best for YOU, apply it to your daily routine so that you CAN start your day with the BEST YOU.

Kristin’s Action Plan: For years, I have kept a radio and clock in my bathroom. When I do not have a clock (if I am on a trip), I find myself losing track of time. A clock keeps me on time and not rushed because I know my boundaries. Also, listening to a favorite cd or program, encourages me to be the best me for the day. I don’t let my worrying mind get the best of me.

What Is The Good Life

Tip #23 – Define what the “good life” is for you, that does NOT include a life of goods. It is easy to get caught up in the consumerism lifestyle of America. We think that acquiring and accumulating will make us happy. Yet our desire for simplifying is exact opposite of this mentality – that…

Organizing Every Square Inch

That little corner. The top shelf in the closet. The back of your kitchen cupboards. The bottom shelf in the refrigerator.

I have a clock in my bathroom, visible from the shower( a cheapie plastic, wall-hanging clock) and its great. But I find that the radio- whether the person is listening to music or to the news, makes my family members move more slowly and linger, so that doesn't work for us( 2 parents+ 5 kids+ everyone better take a quick shower!:)
