A clean, organized workspace is a breeding ground for productivity. 🤓
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(No, but really)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your workspace should be an inspirational and productive place TO DO WORK. 👩🏼‍💻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It should not be a dumping ground for everything else.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Physical clutter is mental clutter (as @emilyley likes to say) and clutter is DISTRACTING!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t let clutter keep you from getting stuff done!! 📝
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻 This week, on the blog, I’m sharing my very favorite ways to give your business a clean slate and a fresh start!! Head on over and check it out!!

This *might* be an unpopular opinion, but if you’re spending more time DECORATING your planner, than DOING what’s in it, you’re doing it wrong!! 😳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stickers are GREAT when used in a way that works for you, but doesn’t DISTRACT you. Use them to make important dates or events stand out, but don’t use so many that you can’t figure out what you wrote down for each day’s tasks and to-dos. ✨📝
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m a big (BIG) fan of @simplified’s color coding stickers and order them in bulk!! Swipe to see an example of how I use them every day 👉🏻

IT’S FINE. YOU’RE FINE. EVERYTHING’S FINE. YOU GOT THIS!! 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been seeing all kinds of posts about people already feeling behind this year. Feeling bad that they haven’t finished this, or started that, or even set 2020 goals yet. Goodness gracious, y’all!! It’s not a race. You don’t suck. You haven’t failed. You’re not behind. You’re not late. Give yourself some GRACE!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As @laracasey says, “There’s nothing magical about January 1st.” And as I like to add, “The magic starts when you start!!” You’re not behind. You’re not late. You’re starting at the perfect time for you in the space or season that you’re in. You got this, friends!!

FIRST I drink the coffee. ☕️ THEN I do the things. 📝 Anybody else FEELING THIS this week?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m actually trying hard to drink an entire tumbler full of water BEFORE coffee and another AFTER coffee.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So far this has resulted in around 9285 trips to the bathroom 😂😂

Don’t mind me, I’m just over here CELEBRATING the first official workday and work week of 2020!! 🍾✨🥂🎉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m SO EXCITED to jump back into work and life routines (both old and new) this week!! 👉🏻 I’m trying out a couple of new block schedules, getting back on the @onepeloton, and starting work on a couple of projects (updating my Ultimate Productivity Toolkit, Productivity Affirmations Mini Guide, and the Work From Home Productivity Guide)!! 🤗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But first... I’m digging into my Annual Review aka my second favorite *Fresh Start System* after Monthly Prep + Plan + Duty Day!! 👉🏻 I don’t know about you but I LOVE having systems in place that purposely position myself and my business for the best possible chance for success!! (Stay tuned to my Stories this week for some behind-the-scenes sneak peeks!!) 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you as excited about the first official workday/work week of the new year as me?! What projects or tasks are you eager to jump into?! Do you have an Annual Review process in place that you’re excited about?!
