 You are clearly and undeniably a goddess. Want proof? You are so desired that you are asked to work on the new project at work, begged to lead the elementary-school bake sale, and formally requested to serve as a board member of your favorite volunteer organization. You have the skills to excel at each of these roles. Heck, there isn't much you can't do.  Well there is one thing – you can't do it all (and keep your sanity).

If you have a family, a career, or both, I bet you frequently look at your watch wishing for one more hour. Some may say you need more effective "time management" skills. I however find "time management" to be a funny concept. The word "manage" suggests that you lead, direct, or have some control over something else. So tell me, when was the last time you directed your watch, "Stop ticking for the next 60 minutes. I need one more hour to finish things up?" 

We can't technically manage time. But we can manage the commitments we fit into the time we have. Therefore a more accurate and empowering term is "commitment management," as it focuses on something you actually can control. The skills needed to manage your commitments are different than those of traditional "time management."

Small Clutter Clearing Steps Lead to Big Results

You’ve probably heard that the way to get a big project done is to break it down into smaller steps. However, I’ll bet there have been times when you’ve cursed the advice-givers because even breaking projects down into smaller steps can be a daunting task in itself, especially if you are not a linear thinker. For example, you may freeze up in that task because there could be a right and wrong way to break things down into smaller steps.

Two different women in the last week shared their success stories with me about how they tackled clutter clearing by taking small steps in a way that worked for them, without the usual overwhelm. The first told me that she chose one small task to clean up her cluttered kitchen and did it. For example, she’d tell herself, “I can put all the food away,” and do it. Once that was done she’d say, “I can gather together the papers scattered everywhere,” and do that. Using that method she’d work her way around the room until order was restored.
