I am talking stream-line baby! Make a list (seriously, get out the paper....), what is important to you?
Now, prioritize it. Don't worry, nobody's feelings will be hurt, you are the only one who can see it.
**To prioritize is to:
- Designate or treat (something) as more important than other things.
- Determine the order for dealing with (a series of items or tasks) according to their relative importance.
Really think about what or who is the most important to you. For some of you your kids are going to hit the top of the list without a second thought, for others it may be our current goal, or it may be just a thought. A something we are thinking about all the time...
Make your list.
I know many people can relate when I say I am a list person. Look through my journal and there are multiple random lists, check out my phone and I have everything I possibly need to remember in a list, take a look at my work area in the basement and Steph will tell you I have my whiteboard staring me back in the face. Everything is organized under "to do's" and focuses based on the different areas in my life: personal, professional, relationships (family/friends), and goals. Every category is prioritized.
To stream-line is to create efficiency. Efficiency means the lowest input (energy) for the highest output. When you are able to wake up every morning and have focus on what you want to accomplish and purpose behind it, you are efficient.
Stop wasting your time with decisions. The right one's you do not need to talk yourself into. Have faith in yourself. Stop wasting time with people who bring you down. We naturally gravitate towards like minded individuals, trust the intuition you have. Relationships should always challenge you but only to make you better, not to exhaust you. Stop worrying about things you cannot change and being afraid to accomplish something because you might be wrong. Take the risk. Feel strong.
Trust in your focus and your life priorities. Live as the person you want to be. Who is that? Maybe that answer will help you build your list. Dream big. Do you want to be respected? Do you want to be trusted? Do you want to leave those you spend your time with feeling good when you leave?
We each must know what is important to us to be able to accomplish our goals and to have purpose in our lives. Change your list. Many times. Each day may bring something new. Feel that control over your life, your thoughts, your plans. Sleep better, stress less, smile more. Be someone who your future self will look back at and be proud of.
It is simple, not easy, but simple.

De-clutter Relationship Tips:
-be honest. Think it, say it. They can handle it, they are an adult and they want to know.
-take responsibility for what you do and what you want.
-spend your time with people who like you with all your crazy and all your 'baggage'. Do not spend your time with someone who 'you just have to fix this one thing and they will be perfect'. You must like them for the things you love and the things you can live with. You may not change someone.
-do not spend time with people who just need you.....you do not need them. Relationships are meant to be equal: you must get out what you put in.
-be positive. Focus on something you admire about someone (friend, family, colleague).
De-clutter Self Tips:
-Respect yourself. This brings peace. Do not change.
-reduce your commitments: say no. And when you say yes, follow through.
-examine yourself. Try not to repeat situations that did not work, look back and determine why they did not work and decide how you would like to change it.
-trust yourself. Take risks. Experience. Love. Smile.
Do not be lazy; work hard, play hard, recharge. Get the most out of your life. You are worth it and you deserve to be happy.
