I’m excited about offering you my newest teaching, 10 Tips to Find Time. In it, I share solutions that are extremely practical but have positioned me to be a wife to Rodney, a full-time mom of a 15 year old daughter (and all that it involves), a TV co-host, an author, conference speaker, employer, and a friend. Thank God for solutions!

Please take a moment to request your copy of 10 Tips to Find Time for your ministry support gift of $20 or more this month. Also, don’t forget to go online and use the sample “Time Map” to get started. I just know it will help you plan better, eliminate time wasters and keep you on track to fulfill your goals this year!

What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.
- Hugh Mulligan

You can live a clutter free life.

Sometimes it is more than our surroundings that become cluttered. Life can become cluttered when projects and tasks are left unfinished and when we procrastinate in the things we should do. The symptoms of a cluttered life are a lack of energy, little productivity, frustration, consistently feeling overwhelmed, being reactive rather than proactive, and time is easily wasted doing things that don’t matter. Do any of those things ring true for you? I know I can identify. Recently, as more demand was put on my time to write books, prepare new teachings, and travel, all while overseeing two ministries…my life got really cluttered. I definitely became inefficient and overwhelmed. Here’s what I’ve discovered: One of the best ways to overcome a cluttered life (in addition to praying and seeking God) is to develop a new routine. For me, that means I need to organize my week differently. I have to set aside two days a week to stay at home to write and prepare. I have to schedule specific days and times for the things that are important to me.

I encourage you to develop a routine that works for you. For instance, you may set aside every Tuesday at 7:30pm to do laundry. Or every time you get a bill, simply put them all in one spot, and set aside Saturdays at 10:00am to pay bills. Decide when you will go to the bank, grocery shopping, etc. Having an effective routine brings together your “to do” and “when”. It is not enough to have a bunch of “to do’s” in your head. That makes for a cluttered life. It is having the “when” attached to the “to do” that puts you in control and eliminates a cluttered life.

One of the best books I’ve read on the subject of time management is Julie Morgenstern’s Time Management from the Inside Out. In it she shares practical advice on “assigning every task a home”, how to be proactive, how to create a time map and other strategies that fit you.

Consider the fact that time management is ultimately about life management. You have one life to fulfill what God has assigned you to do. Let’s make the most of it!

Clutter blocks success

Terri Savelle Foy — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 15:04:48 +0000

The Bible tells us that God wants us to prosper and have success (Joshua 1:8). However, I’ve discovered that when we are surrounded by clutter, success is hindered. Even if you enjoy a certain level of success today, I guarantee that if you removed clutter from your life, you would see an even greater level of success. The Wall Street Journal reported that the average executive wastes 6 weeks a year looking for misplaced files and papers. Imagine how your life would be different if it was more organized. Perhaps you would reduce the amount of times you are late or your bills are paid late, you would waste less time looking for things, you would spend less money replacing items you can’t find, you would experience a new level of peace in your home. Beyond all of those benefits, I believe you are also positioning yourself to receive more blessings from God. When you are faithful over the things you have, Gad can give you more.

One of my favorite books on organization is Jennifer Ford Berry’s Organize Now!. If this is an area you’ve struggled with, I encourage you to pick one room in your house that needs to be “de-cluttered”. Write down everything that needs to be done so that it is organized and clutter-free. Then assign some time each day or week to work on it. Don’t move on to anything else until it is finished! As you do this, I believe your level of peace and energy will increase motivating you to clean out other areas as well.

Happy New Year!

I want 2012 to be your best year yet! I ask people all over the world if they want their life to be different next year at this time and without fail almost every hand is raised in acknowledgment. One of the areas I want you to see improvement in this year is in getting organized. The most successful people I know are organized people. They have a place for everything and a time schedule to do what needs to be done. The opposite is also true. It is very likely if someone’s house or car is a mess, their mind and life is a mess. Think about this statement, “The way you do anything is the way you do everything.” If you really want to see change this year, you will have to change. You can’t get from where you are to where you want to be without work, but the payoff is worth it! I encourage you to stay connected this month, watch the weekly podcasts on Clutter Clean Out in 20 Minutes, read the blog posts and articles. As I close, let me challenge you with this: choose one room or one area of space that needs to be cleaned up. Set your alarm for 20 minutes and go at it! Just focus on that one area and nothing else. See what you can get done in 20 minutes. Do this every day and you will be amazed at how peaceful your surroundings will be. Here’s a hint: start with the area/room you spend the most time in and start with what can be seen. Don’t start with a dresser drawer or inside a cabinet. Start with what’s laying on the counter. It will help you stay motivated to finish when you can see your progress.
