 <\/p>\n

Days and weeks take a toll on our organization and productivity. We work hard and play hard. Some times our organization suffers because we are too busy.\u00a0 That’s why a reset<\/a> can make a difference.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What’s a reset?<\/h3>\n

By definition a reset is when you get back to your baseline, get started fresh and get back in order.\u00a0 It is typically a verb that shows the action of placing back. It means to move (something) back to an original place or position. However, let’s think of it as noun to help you restore order.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When do I reset?<\/h3>\n

It’s a best practice to reset daily and weekly.\u00a0 A daily reset is getting your bags emptied and reorganized, your kids’ backpacks uncluttered, and\u00a0 your clothes in a hamper or hung up.\u00a0 Each evening take 5 minutes (with your family) to reset your home. That is to restore order to important bags, spaces and spots to have a fresh start for the next day. A list can help you be sure you reset all the areas that are important to you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make your your week starts with a weekly home reset ion Sunday. It’s your preparation for having a great week.\u00a0 Take 30 minutes to check your calendar for the week so you know what’s ahead..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A weekly office reset is best on Friday.\u00a0 At this time you are most in touch with your projects and tasks. Capture information, get your desk back in order, create files for loose papers and tidy up your space at this time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What else is behind a reset?<\/h3>\n

In the book, The Power of Habit<\/a>, Charles Duhigg explains small changes in behavior and the impact. With a reset, you are applying the science of change to your life in a way that can make every day better. Life with new habits requires reminders and practice. Build in support for this new habit<\/a> with baby steps, attaching your reset to an existing habit, and acknowledging how important can be for you.<\/p>\n
