Create More Money, Time, Freedom And Banish Unnecessary Stress

By Christina Helwig

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.

Simplification eases the stress that normal life places on you. When you simplify you are clearing away pressures and or items that get in your way of functioning. You cannot think clearly and focus on your goals if you are stumbling over items in your office, laundry, piles of mail or a stack of "stuff" that you do not actually need to keep.

To have a clear mind and the ability to use your time wisely to you need to simplify all areas of your life. You need to get rid of all the "mess" in your home that you have to move around for no reason. Right away you should clear yourself a work area in your office. This space needs to be completely yours and spotless at all times. Your office should be quiet and preferably be somewhere that you can shut a door and work by yourself. If you do not have an office find another spot in your home.

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 "sure" too lately that you don't really want to be involved in? Make a list of all your projects and cross off ones that are not important. This includes doing things like shopping. In many cities you can pay ten bucks and have all your groceries delivered to you. The 1 1/2 to 2 hours you used to spend at the store can now be spent working on your important projects. Continue with this activity until you free up over 10 hours a week to spend working on your goals.

If you are living with a significant other see if the chores are evenly spread between you and your partner. If they are not - redistribute them evenly. Both of you deserve to have free time to work on your special goals. By sharing responsibilities as a team you allow each other to have the bliss of working on projects that are important to each of you. Your spouse will be much happier and so will you.

An area that always needs serious attention is your personal finances. Are there things in your budget that you do not need or really don't have the money for? Are you paying for t.v. channels that you do not watch? What about your home 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 tossed out? If the family won't eat a certain food, then don't buy it.

Simplifying is purely to take stress off your systems: mental and financial. The extra money that you "discover" once you have reduced your commitments, you will use to work towards your goals. While before you might have believed that you could not afford to allocate anything towards your goals . . . simplification will give you wiggle room in your budget to afford to start putting money towards the projects you care about. Even if it you can only find $50 a month to spend on your goals that is a wonderful start. Over time you will make choices and decide whether a going out for dinner or putting that money towards your purpose is the right decision.
