Summary

Buckle up, Buttercup, because today we’re talking tough love and small steps to BIG changes and create instant motivation. We’re going to tackle how to get your life together without feeling like you’re climbing Mount Everest - I’m sharing my favourite shortcuts and hacks that have seriously changed my life. Sound good? Let’s dive right in! Give Yourself a Reality Check - “NO ONE IS COMING TO RESCUE YOU”. We have the home, (body, relationship, finances etc) that we are willing to put up with. Don’t like where you are right now? Change it. Only you have the empower, so put on that cape and save your own damn self. Break Big Goals into 5-Minute Goals - Micro Commitments are the secret. Train your brain to stop the “all or nothing” mentality by focusing on tiny 5-minute tasks. Daily Brain Dump - Every morning write down all the things you want to get done and then circle the top three. Out of those top three, star the ONE that is NON-NEGOTIABLE and must get done that day. Try Hypnosis! I’m using an app called Kure and it’s been helpful! Change your brain just by listening. Create a Vision Board - Pick a few goals and dreams (make sure they are in the realm of possibility) and create a daily visual reminder! I have a FREE vision board template here: https://clutterbug.me/products/digital-vision-board-templates Get an Accountability Buddy! Schedule a weekly date through Zoom, a phone call or an in-person meeting and body double with someone while you get stuff done together! Get in a Win before 10:00am - Do a small thing that feels like an accomplishment before 10:00 am - Examples: Make your bed, write a to-do list, stretch for 10 minutes. Habit Stacking - Do a new tiny habit at the same time as you do an old habit - Example: Write a daily to-do list while your morning coffee brews or take your vitamins when you brush your teeth. Make a Power Playlist - Make a playlist with all the songs that fire you up! Borrow Motivation - Watch and listen to FIRED UP people and borrow some of their passion and fierce motivation. Here is a good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4KsEUiw3gA Nightly Gratitude Journal - I know…don’t roll your eyes, just try it.

0:28.6	Hey, Clutterbugs, welcome back to the Clutterbug podcast.
0:32.5	I'm excited today to talk about let's get our lives together and some things that I do that
0:37.4	actually help because the
0:39.0	truth is inside I am a disaster I am not a planner I am not a person who does routines I'm flighty
0:46.9	I'm impulsive I'm disorganized I'm all the things that make a hot mess and yet I'm able to like kind of hold it together, kind of
0:56.2	sort of maybe. And I've found some things that really absolutely work for me. And I call these hacks
1:01.5	and I feel like the word hack is so overused. So let's not call them hacks maybe. Let's call them
1:07.8	easy life shortcuts. Things that help me get it together or at least feel like I have it together.

1:52.0	are having a pretty good life. Things are just going smoothly. And of course, we're all going to
1:58.9	have bumps in the road and we're going to have chaos that comes in, especially if you're me. I bring chaos everywhere I go, like a fun little
2:06.5	party pet. But overall, I can honestly say I've got most of it together and I'm working on the other
2:16.1	things. So today, I'm going to bring a little tough
2:20.1	love because I'm honestly a really nice person. I swear I am, but I'm the type of person who needs
2:26.8	a reality check and a kick in the pants sometimes to snap me out of the rut that I'm in.
