Less IS more!
Over and over we hear this phrase. What does it really mean?
- Less mail is less overwhelming. Take 5 minutes every day to recycle and review your mail. Keep what remains in your command center to work on during admin time.
- Less to do means you are doing what you love. Our biggest burdens are our time commitments. We say yes and then feel completely overwhelmed. Commit to less to do and feel the serenity.
- Less stuff is less to take care of and more energy to do what we love. Is your stuff becoming a burden? Its time to let it go and have less in your space.
For me I am using this mantra every week to decide how much time and energy I use in projects, with people and my own stuff. It shapes how I think and what I do. My goal this year is to do less and accomplish more.
What do you want to do less of or have less of and feel more energy?
I want to spend less energy trying to keep track of things in my head. I bought a fabulous task management app (which I’ll be reviewing in the near future) which now has 450+ tasks in it. No wonder I was always feeling overwhelmed! But now I can easily identify my top priorities at any given moment, and the chances of something falling between the cracks are slim to none.
Love this idea. Having less in your head means you can be more in the moment. Thanks for sharing this!
Fun to find this post, Ellen. Looking forward to sharing your “less” and “more” desires for 2014 tomorrow over on the blog. Can’t wait!
Thanks Linda! Less and more are great tools for thinking through our priorities at this time of year. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of tomorrow’s post!
