Are you easily overwhelmed with the thought of tackling a large job or task? The key is to break the job down into smaller manageable pieces. I give my clients this advice all of the time. If you go in with the mindset that the job or task has to be finished in one day you are sabotaging yourself. I’m going to use myself as an example. I work with clients 5-6 days a week so usually Sunday is the only day of the week I have to try and get caught up on household chores like laundry, yard work, etc. One job I absolutely dislike doing is cleaning windows so I scheduled someone to clean all of the windows, outside and inside, on August 4th. My blinds also need cleaning but it’s not in my budget right now to hire someone to clean them for me so I decided to do the job myself and want to have all of the blinds cleaned by August 4th. So I’m breaking the job down into smaller manageable pieces. Yesterday, 6/29, I cleaned the blinds in my master bath and bedroom. Every weekend between now and August 4th I’ll tackle at least two sets of windows until all of the blinds are cleaned.

Is there a job or task you’ve postponed doing because you don’t know where to start or what to do? Or have you successfully tackled a large job or task. Please share your thoughts, frustrations, or strategies that worked.
