Productivity & Lifestyle - synching up

As Memorial Day is just around the corner many people are taking a deep breath before they tell me how busy they are this weekend with social events and continue listing the multitude of tasks to do around the house. They sigh, they roll their eyes, and they look like they need help!

So, I ask you:

  • Are you too busy?
  • Is your house demanding an inordinate amount of your time?
  • What would you give to have the grass cut, the windows washed, the bushes trimmed, the landscaping improved, the gutters cleaned, and perhaps the garage cleaned out, the pool open and fresh, the lawn furniture sparkling, weeds pulled, fresh blacktop coating and a few herbs planted for cooking?
  • How much time, energy and effort would it take inside the house to finish decorating that room, to paint, clean out the closets, to give some order to the tool corner, sterilize the fridge, vacate the attic, or any of the other things on the 'to do' list?

There are  four responses you can have to get those things underway ~

  1. Hire someone to do this stuff
  2. Get rid of the big lists by getting rid of the big property
  3. Give up the other things you like to do and do it yourself
  4. Let things continue to build up

I'll comment on these options over the next few days... and encourage you to share your thoughts as we go along.
