Clear The Decks

It's Saturday again. Are you planning to rest tomorrow? If so, what will you do today to make that more likely to happen?

Today's tip, as part of our ongoing Saturday Sabbath Starters, is this: clear the decks. This means take care of those niggling tasks that you've been putting off all week (or for the past several weeks). Maybe there are forms from the start of school that piled up all week. Do them now! Don't leave them until Sunday evening. Or maybe you have bills to pay. Set a timer for 15 minutes and see how many you can get done.

Whatever you can do today to take a bite out of the things hanging over your head will leave you that much more room to relax. Leave them hanging and they'll tickle at the top of your head all day, making it less than restful.

Join me in this! I've taken two one-hour stints to knock out the paperwork that's been piling up in my inbox. It feels so good to nearly see the bottom. And having accomplished something today will allow me to feel free to relax tomorrow.

Give it a try and see how it works for you!
