Organizing and Life Challenges
April 2021
by Maria Gracia Aim to achieve at least three or more of our April Mini Challenges this month. Ready, set, go! Join our newsletter to be notified when the newest monthly Organizing and Life Challenges are available. ___ Home Challenge. Windows…they’re a focal point in many rooms. Focus on cleaning windows, window tracks, and window coverings. How many can you get done this month? ___ Time Challenge. For the first two weeks of the month, determine how much time you invest in grocery shopping. Keep track on paper. For the remainder of the month, try to reduce that time by at least 20%. ___ Health and Wellness Challenge. Make water your beverage of choice for the month. Except for your cup of morning coffee (if you must), see if you can stick to water (mission: 6 to 8 glasses) only each day. You’ll be sure to stay hydrated and you won’t be filling your body with unnecessary sugar, caffeine or other chemicals. ___ Relationship Challenge. Is there a person or two in your life with whom you often lose your patience? Practice the art of patience this month in your relationships, whenever you can. If you catch yourself being impatient, count to 10 slowly, and do whatever you can to remain calm, kind, and patient. ___ Educational Challenge. Play a mind-stimulating game a few times a week like a crossword puzzle, jigsaw puzzle, Sudoku, or chess. ___ Spiritual Challenge. Establish a simple routine of starting and ending your day in gratitude. Each morning and evening, think of one or two people, places, things, or beliefs for which you’re grateful. Doing so will train your mind to begin and end each day with thankfulness in your mind and heart. ___ Fun Challenge. Plant something…whether it’s a tree, herbs, vegetables, or flowers. Doing so can build your strength, improve hand dexterity, give you the opportunity to slow down, encourage creativity and mindfulness, provide a sense of purpose, and add beauty to your home. Don’t have the space? Consider a window container garden or some simple indoor plants. Back to Organizing and Life Challenges Index
