As expected, this month we’re offered 2 new habits to incorporate into our lives. The first work habit is -- to place a 16oz glass of water (or water bottle) on my desk and take it with me everywhere until it’s finished. The idea here is to detoxify and flush the system for optimal health. The second is a home habit of keeping the bathroom clean by re-hanging the towel or tossing it in the hamper, wiping off the counter, and checking the trash to be emptied. I’m already ahead on this one since it’s a natural part of my habits.
This week's office task is interesting. Regina wants to start by doing a 15 minute “speed elimination” on my office. Just blast through and get rid of all non-work related items (clothes, extra shoes or exercise outfit, food and drink containers, plates, etc). I’m pretty good in this regard, no bad habits there. Next removing seasonal items (fans vs space heaters, umbrellas, etc) or even photos that are out of date and could be updated with something newer.
Wow, 15 minutes went by very quickly! As suggested, I need to repeat this 15 minute blast cleaning every day this week until I’ve removed all the non-essential and dated stuff. I have printer cartridges to be recycled and I even found material from the 2007 National Association of Realtors convention that should have been tossed a long time ago…
