Get Organized from the Inside Out: Day 5 Focused Action

Intention: Focused Action

How is it going for you and your organization?  Are you really feeling the benefits and inspired to take action?
Most of what we covered in the first four days was about your mindset.  Creating the space and energy for you to be organized from the inside out.  It focused on the Being of organized.

Today, I want to talk more about the doing.  About complementing all the clarity and energy you have created and putting it into focused action.  Think of this as your clarity and choice put into action.

When we speak of focused, we refer to actions that are aligned with your original intention.  We are also referring to the frequency.

Sustainable, long-term success is best achieved by regular, daily practice.  Deciding what action to take and then actually taking it each and every day is key to being organized.

For example, if one wants to de-clutter a space it helps to deal with it for at least 15 minutes each day.  And, if one wants a clear mind, a daily practice of mindful activity or meditation is truly beneficial.

The key here is to be and stay focused.  To set boundaries and not allow distractions to pull you away from your intention and activities.


Conscious Questions-to-Self
• Is the action I am taking aligned with my intention?• Have I created an environment that allows me to focus on my activities?• Have I clearly set and communicated boundaries that allow me to stay focused?
Tips on focused action:• Focus your activity in 15-20 minute daily activities - from de-cluttering to meditation• Write it/them down - to help you remember and to keep you on track• Keep the activity list focused and achievable - so overwhelm does not set in and distract you• Communicate your boundaries to all involved, or in your space, when you are engaging in focused-action• Create an environment (maybe add music) to make the space your in more attractive - then you are less likely to be distracted Affirmation: I choose to invest my time versus spend or waste it.

Dedicated to your peace and prosperity,
