A REGULAR MONTHLY RESET
I’m a great believer in breaking big tasks down into smaller ones. I’m also a fan of being consistent, keeping up with routines and not being afraid to make small changes to our lives that help simplify things even when we don’t feel like it or have much time.
For these reasons, the beginning of the month is a perfect time to evaluate where we’re at, identify what’s working (and why) and plan for new things based on lessons and experiences we’ve learnt from the past.
Any time and any day can be a new beginning, but the start of the month is also a tangible and regular fresh start. We can highlight it in our calendars to provide a structure and framework to plan and make changes and assess them along the way.
Moving month to month we can see what’s working, what’s not and track our progress. We can make adjustments where needed, get organised for the month ahead, simplify the things that sap our time, energy and space.
Most importantly, we can establish a routine so that the more mundane aspects of life run like clockwork whilst we give ourselves freedom to do more, have fun and live more fully!
If you struggle to be organised, plan ahead or feel stifled by routine, a simple monthly plan to re-set and assess things might be right for you.
