Hey Purpose Family! Planning isn't always about the tasks that need to get done NOW, it's also about the things that need to get done eventually and something that is ongoing. Decluttering for me is an ongoing process. You see these boxes... I have a friend that orders Amazon by the truck loads or however they sell them lol She always saves crafty stuff for me. When she said she had something for me, I had no idea I'd walk into 6 boxes. They've been stacked in our room downstairs for the longest. In my planner today I started making my declutter list. This isn't a task that needs to get done right now or stress me out... it's just something that I need to work on. I have 6 boxes and have made a plan! I will tackle one box each week on Wednesdays. Garbage day is Thursday so anything I need to throw away can go out, anything I need to donate will get dropped off and anything I want to give to someone they have 24 hours before it goes out. Sounds like 6 weeks is a long time for one project... but guess what... next week it will be 5 weeks and progress will have been made. I am not going to let the boxes stress me out. I'm not going to allow it to take over my mind while I do nothing about it. There are other things... the hallway closet, the junk drawer, craft closet, etc. I am making a plan and I'll work toward it one project at a time. Instead of stressing out about the declutter, set a plan and get to work a little bit at a time. Are you ready to add decluttering to your ongoing plan?

Taking it back to the basics is not only going to help you... it's going to help me too. Sometimes we have to remember how we've gotten as far as we did and not allow the busyness, the clutter and being unorganized to take over our mind and space. I want you to think about the season you're in. As we are moving forward, let's review and understand the Seasons of Planning. There are requirements for each season but before I share what they are, what season do you feel you are in? THE BUSY SEASON You're holding a lot but still showing up. Reality is, you don't need a new routine, you need a break and boundaries. REBUILDING SEASON Everything is changing and so am I. Reality is, your planning should help you rebuild, not rush. HEALING/RECOVERY SEASON You're rebuilding your capacity. Reality is, planning is not about productivity in this season. It's about restoration, stability and giving yourself grace. GROWTH SEASON I'm ready for more. PERIOD! Reality is, your planner becomes your vehicle - not your burden. Let's Talk About It!
