The Motivational Experience: For You, Me, and US!

I spent most of yesterday cleaning my house,which is a total of 6 rooms. Since this is a chore I've been neglecting for the past two weekends because of going to various functions (excuse) but it got so out of control I didn't know where to start. Should  I wash clothes, should I wash dishes, should I start in the front, should I start in the back, should I pick up trash, do I even have any more trash bags?!? It was overwhelming and frustrating so my first reaction was to crawl back into bed and pretend I never thought about cleaning up today. Knowing that wouldn't solve anything and it would only get worse if I put it off, I decided to get a piece a paper and try to strategize what my next move would be.

1. Find Main Objective of Goal: Clean the House
2. Break Goal Down in Smaller Goals: 6 Rooms to Clean and listed the rooms from smallest to biggest
3. Break Smaller Goals even SMALLER: In each room I made a to-do list of everything that had to be done, example  for the kitchen: wash dishes, sweep floor, mop floor, check fridge, take out trash.
4. Action: Now you know what you need to do, just do it!

By breaking down my goals I now felt more in control of the situation. I knew exactly what I had to do and reality was it wasn't that hard to do once I seen it on paper. Eventually room by room got cleaned, well I neglected the laundry room but that's another story lol but I know what needs to be done, I just have to work on step four.

With this method you can do more than clean your house, you can do anything your willing to plan out, no matter how big your dreams or goals are, you can do it. It may take a while but every time you cross something off your to-do list just know your a step closer to your goal. Every once in a while you may have a task like my laundry room and you may have to take a step back and break those goals down smaller, its OK go for it, actually I think that's what I'm about to do now :). Now you know 4 easy steps to achieveing your goals are you going to accomplish?
