Create More Money, Time, Freedom And Banish Unnecessary Stress
Take a good look around your life. Can you simplify it in anyway? How cluttered is your house? Your desk? Your schedule? Your bills, etc.
When you simplify you ease the pressure that life places on you. You clear away pressures and or items that get in your way of living at your highest level. You cannot think and function properly if you are stumbling over items piles of bills, unfinished work, multiple projects, a cluttered schedule and other "stuff" that you do not actually need or want.
To have a clear mind and the freedom to use your time to your best advantage you need to simplify your life. You need to get rid of all the "stuff" in your house that you have to move back and forth for no reason. One of your very first goals should be to clear yourself a work space in your home. This space needs to be totally yours and it needs to be clean at all times. This space should also be quiet and preferably be somewhere that you can shut a door and work alone.
In addition to culling and simplifying your home you should take a good look at the projects that you have committed yourself to. Often in our frantic culture we over-extend ourselves in all aspects of our lives. We say "okay" to lunch with a friend when we really just want to have an afternoon off. We over schedule our kids' schedules and our time since we are responsible for driving the kids around.
What have you said yes too lately that you don't really want to do? Make a list of all your activities and cross off ones that are not important to you. This includes doing things like the grocery shopping. In many cities you can pay a small fee and have all your groceries ordered online and delivered to you. The hour and a half to two hours you used to spend at the grocery store can now be spent working on your purpose. Continue with this activity until you free up over 15 hours a week to spend working on your goals.
If you are married see if the chores are evenly spread between you and your spouse. If they are not - redistribute them evenly. Both partners deserve to have free time to work on their purpose. By sharing responsibilities as a team you allow each other to experience the bliss of working on projects that are dear to your heart.
An area that always needs serious attention is your finances. Are there items in your budget that you really do not need at the present moment? Are you paying for cable channels that you do not even watch? How about your home phone and cell phone? Do you actually use both? Can you switch car insurance to save money? How much food are you buying that just ends up being thrown away? If the family won't eat broccoli then don't buy it.
Please do not misunderstand the purpose of this exercise. Simplifying is purely to take pressure off your systems: mental and financial. The extra money that you "find" once you have simplified you will use to work towards your goals. Whereas before you believed that you could not afford to spend anything on your goals . . . simplification will start to give you room in your budget to afford to start putting money towards your purpose. Even if it you can only find $100 a month to spend on working towards your purpose that is a great start. Over time you will continue to make choices and decide whether a night out on the town or putting that money towards your purpose is the right decision.
