Before you start rolling your eyes, I promise not to spam you because I can not stand that myself. I promise to use your email responsibly and only send information that provides value. Once you become a member of the THB Family, you will have the opportunity to choose a few different options based on your interests, this will help me determine what emails you would consider valuable and which ones you might consider junk.  Either way, I\'m just glad you have decided to join me on this journey!\r\n\r\nUntil we talk again, have a great night and stay happy!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Who is Dana','','inherit','closed','closed','','5085-revision-v1','','','2019-03-04 18:35:40','2019-03-04 18:35:40','',5085,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/5085-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7809,1,'2019-03-05 22:05:11','2019-03-05 22:05:11','<div id=\"pl-3238\"  class=\"panel-layout\" ><div id=\"pg-3238-0\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;10px&quot;}\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-3238-0\" ><div id=\"pgc-3238-0-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"1\" ><div id=\"panel-3238-0-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"0\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<p>You are a holistic being and I believe that everything in your life is interconnected.  It is not uncommon for me to begin working with you on one issue and end up working on many others that you didn\'t even know existed.  The reason this happens is because clutter serves as a block in your mind.  It keeps you from being creative and productive in all areas.  Once you clear that block, you are more productive and ultimately happier because you can be creative, produce and live again.  </p></div>\n</div></div><div id=\"panel-3238-0-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<p>Your starting point is to setup your discovery session with me so we can evaluate where you are and where you would like to be.  Take a few minutes to schedule your session and answer a few intake questions.  This will enable me to come to the session with some potential solutions in mind.

Do you try to force it, find another or adapt the one you have?\r\n\r\nI find so many people trying to force systems and processes into their environment that don\'t work for their lifestyle because \"everyone is doing it\" or this guru or that one said you had to do it.  Listen, people, it isn\'t a good system for you if it doesn\'t work for you!\r\n<h1>One Tip That Doesn\'t Work For Me</h1>\r\nSo here\'s an example of an organizing tip that just doesn\'t work for me. For years and years, I have heard the advice of using the reverse hanger tip to aid in decluttering.  Now, this is not to discount any other organizers in the world who have suggested this, but here at THB we are about real life inspiration and discovery and in my personal world I discovered long ago that the reversed hanger tip does not work for me.\r\n\r\nThe premise, for those of you that don’t know, is that you turn all the clothes in your closet backward (hanger hook facing out instead of in) at the beginning of a season. As you wear your clothes you will hang them facing the normal way. At the end of the season, you are supposed to evaluate and remove any items that are still facing the original backward direction. The thought is if you didn’t wear it all season you don’t need it.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/hangers.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2682\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/hangers.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"hangers\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow, in theory, this is a great idea, however, in my world, it goes a little something like this.\r\n\r\nI enter my closet to determine what I want to wear for the day. I pick one thing…it doesn’t work…it sometimes gets hung on the door and other times it gets thrown into a pile. Very rarely does it get hung instantly back on the rod and when it does I am usually in such a hurry that it goes in facing the normal way.\r\n<h1>Be Honest With Yourself</h1>\r\nHey, I’m being honest and that is what it is all about, being honest with yourself. If an organizing or process development tip doesn’t work for you, don’t use it or adapt it for your lifestyle. Find something that does work for you and your family and make it happen.\r\n\r\nFor me, I would rather just pick a day or two each season to go through my closet using my homegrown process that <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/resources/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">you can check out here</a>.\r\n\r\nFor those who have the discipline to follow the backward hanger tip, by all means, use it. It is an easy way to evaluate your use or non-use of an item, but if it doesn\'t find something else that does.\r\n<h1>Allowing Fear to Stop You</h1>\r\nNow that you understand all process and organizing tips aren\'t for you, I want to address fear.  The fear of trying something new.  Many of us have the, what if it doesn\'t work syndrome.  We are afraid to try out of fear we will fail.  Listen, what is the worst that can happen?  You implement a new process and the result isn\'t what you had hoped for.  Ok review and adapt.  Figure out what worked and what didn\'t, adapt it and try again.\r\n\r\nEach time you review your processes you will have less frustration because you will continue to identify and adapt processes that work.\r\n\r\nFor those of you who don\'t have a process or regularly find that what you are trying isn\'t working.  I recommend you start your journey with my <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/roadmap-checklist/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">organizational roadmap</a> because it will guide you through the proper order of process and organizational implementation.  Most people implement processes and organize out of order, which is why things aren\'t working.  They don\'t account for life transitions either, which have a huge impact on the success and failure rates of any system.\r\n\r\nI hope this help to reassure you that you aren\'t alone and encouraged you to find a system that works for you and your lifestyle.  Now, what other tips have you received/heard about that just didn’t work for you, your business or your family and why?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','When Organizing Tips Don\'t Work','','inherit','closed','closed','','2619-revision-v1','','','2019-03-05 22:42:43','2019-03-05 22:42:43','',2619,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/2619-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7816,1,'2019-03-06 14:34:29','2019-03-06 14:34:29','<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7168 size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Program-Thank-You-Page.png\" alt=\"Program Thank You Page\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" />\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What You Can Do While You Wait!</strong></h2>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Connect with Me on Social Media</strong></span>:</h2>\r\nThere are a few different ways that you can connect with me on social media.  Pick the one(s) that resonates with you the most:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Facebook Page:  <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/TheHappinessBucket/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@Thehappinessbucket</a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Facebook Page:  <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/danalariealmorales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@DanaLaRiealMorales</a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thehappinessbucket/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@Thehappinessbucket </a>and <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/DanaLaRiealMorales/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@danalariealmorales</a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">YouTube:  <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYa1Znep1N5gbG1u-3bY2YA?view_as=subscriber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@thehappinessbucket</a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">LinkedIn <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/danalariealmorales/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@danalariealmorales</a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Spread the Love</span>: </strong></h2>\r\nTell a friend, coworker or family about The Happiness Bucket  You can do it via social media, email, phone or even in person  I\'d really appreciate it.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://ctt.ec/87VcQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://clicktotweet.com/img/tweet-graphic-3.png\" alt=\"Tweet: You should check out some of @thehappinessbucket project management resources.

website, in person events, all your social media sites, etc.  Do you know the steps individuals are taking to connect with you?  Do they need to connect to specific sites to get to unique information and is their experience on each different? Unless you are intentionally marketing in different ways (i.e., you are appealing to the visual learner on one site and the auditory learner on another) you should ask yourself if your voice is unified. And just to note, even if you are appealing to different types of learners...you still need a unified brand voice when you are doing it.  For example, I may post two different visual representations of a single blog post on pinterest.  The pictures are different and the text written on each is different, but the colors, font and style are all similar.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://development.thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Business-Leaks.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6397 size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Fix-Broken-Processes.png\" alt=\"Fix Broken Processes Audio | The Happiness Bucket\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" /></a>\r\n\r\n[audio mp3=\"http://development.thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Business-Leaks.mp3\"][/audio]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h1>Mapping Out Your Process Flow</h1>\r\nThe first thing I recommend you do, is take some time and map out the flow that your customers are taking when they encounter your business.  Think through all the different types of customers you have as well as all the methods by which they can access you or your business. Don\'t belittle any connection or path because they all count in this process.  By doing this, you get a birds eye view of your business, which helps you see problems in a much faster way.  You can quickly pick up on processes that don\'t make sense or processes that are old.  You may even decide you don\'t want a particular process based on where your business is now.\r\n<h1>Identifying Your Leaks</h1>\r\nOnce you have fully mapped out your current processes, you will need to identify areas for improvement. Determine how can you unify the routes you have so they are all similar no matter the platform. You want to identify routes that should be eliminated and those that should be added.\r\n\r\nIf I click on the get to know me button on your facebook page, does it have the same or similar wording, coloring, branding as the one on your website or on instagram?  These are just a few of the things I call leaks in your business.  They are process flows or lack there of that cause customers to have to stop the forward process of getting to you or your product.\r\n<h1>Unifying Process Routes</h1>\r\nOnce you have identified the leaks, you will want to resolve the process route problems.  Ultimately <img class=\"wp-image-6399 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Fix-Broken-Processes-Pin-200x300.png\" alt=\"Fix Broken Processes Pin | The Happiness Bucket\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" />the goal is to ensure that no matter how people are trying to join your newsletter, their experience/route will be the same or similar.  Each platform is a little different, but the actual route they take should be the same and should be the fastest route possible for what they are trying to do.\r\n\r\nIf you identify routes with drop-offs (they don\'t have a path to you or your product), then you will need to rectify that or make a plan to rectify it.  These of course are pretty serious <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/business-leaks-guide/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leaks in your </a><a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/business-leaks-guide/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">business</a> and once identified, you always want to fill these as quickly as possible.\r\n<h1>Schedule Regular Process Reviews</h1>\r\nNow, leak filling is never a hit and quit type of action.  Just like I teach in the <a href=\"https://thechangeacademy.thinkific.com/courses/organizational-roadmap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">organizational roadmap</a>, there is always a maintenance stage that needs to be completed.  The amount of time between maintenance sessions depends on your developed systems and the number of changes you have had in your business since the last one.  A person who adds a new service, opt-in or product on a regular basis would need much more frequent review periods than the person who rarely has changes.  If you notice a software update or change in your provider(s) platform, this should also trigger a maintenance review.  My standard recommendation is for a monthly review for those who add regularly and a quarterly review for those who change things less often.\r\n\r\nThis will ensure everything is working and flowing as expected.','How to Fix Broken Processes in Your Business','','inherit','closed','closed','','5865-revision-v1','','','2019-03-12 14:05:31','2019-03-12 14:05:31','',5865,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/5865-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7828,1,'2019-03-12 17:25:55','2019-03-12 17:25:55','','C.H.A.N.G.E Academy','','publish','closed','closed','','c-h-a-n-g-e-academy','','','2020-02-04 05:32:51','2020-02-04 05:32:51','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/?p=7828',10,'nav_menu_item','',0),(7830,1,'2019-03-29 21:07:53','2019-03-29 21:07:53','<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[mailmunch-form id=\"765554\"]</p>','','','publish','closed','closed','','wpsitedev','','','2019-03-29 21:07:53','2019-03-29 21:07:53','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/?page_id=7830',0,'page','',0),(7831,1,'2019-03-29 21:04:54','2019-03-29 21:04:54','<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[mailmunch-form id=\"765554\"]</p>','','','inherit','closed','closed','','7830-revision-v1','','','2019-03-29 21:04:54','2019-03-29 21:04:54','',7830,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/7830-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7832,1,'2019-03-29 21:05:23','2019-03-29 21:05:23','','','','inherit','closed','closed','','7830-revision-v1','','','2019-03-29 21:05:23','2019-03-29 21:05:23','',7830,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/7830-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7833,1,'2019-03-29 21:06:13','2019-03-29 21:06:13','<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[mailmunch-form id=\"765554\"]</p>','','','inherit','closed','closed','','7830-revision-v1','','','2019-03-29 21:06:13','2019-03-29 21:06:13','',7830,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/7830-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7834,1,'2019-04-01 19:49:50','2019-04-01 19:49:50','We all need to get things done in our daily lives, but often times there are so many things to do that we begin to lose track or we get so much on our to do list that we get overwhelmed.\r\n\r\nHow many times have you been doing something and realized you needed to get ten more things done.  Often times when I think about one thing, it leads me to think about a number of additional things I need to handle.  We tend to create massive to do lists that then become overwhelming.

event okay if you are a team of people maybe you have your family your family is engaged in this project or a group of people who are putting on this event you want to make sure that everybody is involved in this brain dump session or brainstorming session the reason you want to do this is because everybody comes to the particular thing with a different mindset or from a different direction so whereas using the family situation your children may look at the use of the pantry one way or the use of the laundry room one way you as mom may look at it a completely different way because maybe you

meat\r\n\r\nSave on foods*\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMeal Planning Tips\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAre you trying to save money or maybe you are starting a healthy eating lifestyle? Today, I am going to teach you a special tip that will help you stretch your dollar and also save you time in the kitchen\r\n\r\nToday we are talking about saving money and meal planning how do you do those two things together to help you stretch your dollar and save you time well here\'s the deal we need to start thinking in bulk okay and I\'m not talking about going to Sam\'s and buying up all the big containers of everything you can do that but that is not what I\'m talking about specifically today today what I\'m talking about is thinking ahead and having meals that have synergy that all feed off of each other and an example of this is chicken if you think about buying one family pack size of chicken and yes you can get this in a normal grocery store or you can get it at your Sam\'s Club or Costco or any of those types of places you can get a family size pack of chicken and split it up thinking about individual meals what I find is a lot of times people think oh there\'s only three of us in the house and we\'ll never eat that much chicken in one sitting well I don\'t want you to think about just one sitting at a time anymore I want you to think in bulk I want you to think about meals being used out of this one container and so the reason why this is important is because stores often times have sells on meat and meat or meat is one of the most expensive things that you can buy at the grocery store and so it\'s important for you to get those when they are at their lowest price and and when you can get them in bulk or when you can buy when they\'re at their lowest price you can get more more of the item for less obviously so I encourage you to think about these things in a different way so I\'m gonna use chicken as the example because most people do eat chicken so if you get the family pack of chicken thighs for example that typically they\'ll have eight to ten pieces of chicken in it well in no normal setting is somebody eating that much chicken in one sitting however when you buy those you can do a couple of things number one you can just take all the chicken out put it on a pan season it all bake it while you\'re cooking your meal for the day that\'s not going to take you an extensive amount of time from what you\'re doing right so that literally to prep the chicken and put in the oven may take you five to ten minutes ten is actually way too much I think it\'s gonna take you more like five minutes put it in the oven you continue to cook something else or whatever you\'re gonna eat for the day and then you can pull that chicken out and prep it for other meals so if you think about chicken what can you do with it you can shred a chicken thigh and put it on a salad you can eat the chicken thigh by itself you can put the chicken thigh in a sauce of some sort or with noodles or you know your your zoodles if you\'re doing keto or pasta if you\'re not you can put those in a dish and have it ready to go you can actually just take all of the chicken once it\'s cooked and put it in the freezer in a bag in a ziplock bag and freeze it is gonna freeze individually and when you need some cooked chicken you just take that out let it thaw and you continue to do whatever it is you need to do with it in most recipes it\'s the meat cooking or browning that takes the most time for the meal prep so that\'s a way that you can shorten your meal you know your time in prepping a meal that\'s also a way that you can meal prep throughout the week so if you cook this chicken let\'s say on Saturday or on Sunday you can then split it among meals throughout the week and like I said you can change the the dynamics of the chicken there are so many varieties and things that you can do with one type of meat that you spread out over time so the point is is that I want you to number one think about buying things in bulk and splitting them out and placing them in the freezer just so that you have saved money in purchasing the meat instead of just buying a small package of chicken because you\'re making something that requires chicken today so so that alone will save you money but I didn\'t want to save you not only money but also time at the same time so I hope you

In no normal setting is a small family eating that much chicken in one sitting however when you buy those you can do a couple of things number one you can just take all the chicken out put it on a pan season it all bake it while you\'re cooking your meal for the day that\'s not going to take you an extensive amount of time from what you\'re doing right so that literally to prep the chicken and put in the oven may take you five to ten minutes ten is actually way too much I think it\'s gonna take you more like five minutes put it in the oven you continue to cook something else or whatever you\'re gonna eat for the day and then you can pull that chicken out and prep it for other meals\r\n\r\nso if you think about chicken what can you do with it?

Do you have a family budget?  When was the last time you conducted an evaluation of your spending? I know, I know it can be scary but ignoring it won’t change anything if there is a problem, it will only make it worse. So, here at THB I want to get focused on fixing the issues and not ignoring them. True happiness lies in reality and I am hoping to help you get there, by learning how to budget.\r\n\r\nNow, to get started you really need to evaluate the situation at hand. How can you fix something if you don’t know what the problem is…so let’s break it down. Recently, I was watching an episode of “Til Debt Do Us Part” which airs on CNBC. (This show evaluates a couple/family’s spending habits and assists them in identifying the problem and developing a plan on how to fix it. I encourage anyone who is able to watch the show to do so…there are a lot of great tips in it.) On this particular episode they showed Gail Vaz-Oxlade\'s debt wheel which broke down how much she feels you should typically be spending in each category.  She broke it down as follows:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Savings = 10%</li>\r\n 	<li>Transportation - 15%</li>\r\n 	<li>Life = 25%</li>\r\n 	<li>Debt = 15%</li>\r\n 	<li>Housing = 35%</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe task for you is to take last month’s spending and break it down into these five major categories. Once you do that, you should break each of those down even further to see how it is actually being spent (grocery, retail shopping, entertainment, restaurants, etc.). I believe that a lot of what most households spend will fall in the life and debt category, but I wonder where you will be.\r\n\r\nOnce you have it broken down develop a budget and a plan for this month.  Determine how you will be working to get those areas closer to these percentages above. You can also use <a title=\"Gail\'s Interactive Budget Worksheet\" href=\"http://www.gailvazoxlade.com/resources/interactive_budget_worksheet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gail\'s interactive budget worksheet.</a>\r\n\r\nEveryone, no matter your age, can make adjustments in your life spending. I too will be revising my family\'s budget.  I will share some of the ways my family is working to get our percentages in line with those above.  I also have a <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/resources/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free budget 101 </a>course that you may want to take to help identify where your money is truly going and how to learn how to budget for the future.\r\n\r\nSo let me know…what are your goals and plans as it relates to your finances?  Were you shocked at your overall percentage breakdown?\r\n\r\nMake sure to share any tips you have for staying out of or battling debt in our <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/groups/changeacademy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">THB Change Academy Facebook Group</a>.\r\n\r\nI look forward to hearing from you!','Til Debt Do Us Part - Learn How to Budget (Business)','','draft','open','open','','','','','2019-07-27 05:15:25','2019-07-27 05:15:25','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/?p=7859',0,'post','',0),(7860,1,'2019-04-08 15:02:22','2019-04-08 15:02:22','<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/20121123-093928.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1492\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/20121123-093928.jpg\" alt=\"20121123-093928.jpg\" width=\"117\" height=\"200\" /></a>How much are you and your family spending each month?

Do you have a family budget?  When was the last time you conducted an evaluation of your spending? I know, I know it can be scary but ignoring it won’t change anything if there is a problem, it will only make it worse. So, here at THB I want to get focused on fixing the issues and not ignoring them. True happiness lies in reality and I am hoping to help you get there, by learning how to budget.\r\n\r\nNow, to get started you really need to evaluate the situation at hand. How can you fix something if you don’t know what the problem is…so let’s break it down. Recently, I was watching an episode of “Til Debt Do Us Part” which airs on CNBC.

Now this isn\'t abnormal and is one of the main reasons we create quarterly versus yearly plans.  That being said, this sometimes bothers me because I really try to do the things I say I am going to do and also do the things that really need to be done.  Sometimes I succeed with flying colors and other times…well procrastination gets the best of us...but that is the whole purpose of this thing.  So…in developing my first quarter 2013 plan, I know I need to put these things at the top of my first quarter goal list so they are done during this first month of January.  Yes, there are other things I want to accomplish during this quarter, but we have to prioritize them in a way that we aren\'t continuing to procrastinate on things and just pushing them further and further into the year.\n\nWe all tend to make time for things we enjoy doing and let those things that aren’t so enjoyable fly by the waist-side.  Which honestly just creates a vicious cycle of nothingness…of laziness…of crap sitting around not getting done.  Yes, it’s a hard truth but we have to face it at some point and what better point than right now.  Let’s stop making the excuses and “Get’er done”.   Most things will not take as long as we anticipate anyway…we just have to make a plan and commit to it.  \n\nI have also come to realize that my weekends aren\'t really mine.  There is always something I need to do for the house or somewhere I need to go and the list of \"things\" I had planned for that day are some how not accomplished which are just left on the list or skipped all together.  See how the cycle just continues?  I am saying this to say...don\'t pack your quarter full of things that aren\'t realistic or accomplishable.  Know that life happens and you aren\'t necessarily going to be able to do everything on the weekends.  Know that you may have to work some stuff into your week instead.  When planning the wedding, I ran lots of errands during my lunch time instead of going to eat with my co-workers because I could get the things done easily and check some things off my list.  My time was precious and we had a lot to accomplish in a short period of time.  If you know you have a big weekend with the family or with friends coming up, why try to cram everything into that Friday night or Saturday morning?  This will just drive you crazy...at least it tends to do that to me.  Break your tasks out over the week and see how much more sane you feel.  Now, for those who are stay at home moms, students or housewives...the same holds true for you.  Don\'t think you don\'t have stuff to do during your day and the weekends.  You need to plan just as much if not more to ensure you meet all the needs you have throughout your day/month.  So, when developing your plans make sure you take life into consideration, but don\'t use it as an excuse to not do something.  Look at the reality of things and see where you can make it work...where you can realistically fit it in...where you can shift some stuff around.  Are you going out every weekend and not setting a day to do some of your goals?  If you look and things aren\'t balanced make an adjustment so you have a good work/life/fun balance.\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent5.png\"><img src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent5.png?w=300\" alt=\"The-Happiness-Bucket transparent\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1006\" /></a>','How Do You Prioritize What Comes First?','','inherit','closed','closed','','1551-revision-v1','','','2019-04-08 19:47:54','2019-04-08 19:47:54','',1551,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/1551-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7873,1,'2019-04-08 19:51:42','2019-04-08 19:51:42','<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/mp900422763.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1433\" title=\"Business Executives Sitting in the Airport\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/mp900422763.jpg?w=300\" height=\"300\" width=\"300\" /></a>In a part 1 of Networking the New Way I shared with you a plan on how you can begin to network with complete strangers...or people you didn\'t really know.  I tell you as somewhat of an introvert I wasn’t quite sure how I’d feel about testing this theory, but I knew I needed to try if I was going to conquer my “fears”.  So, experient #1 was to sit down at a table or near someone you didn’t know, on purpose, and strike up a conversation.  Now, you must know that I am always cognizant of people and their annoyance level(s).  It always bothers me when someone comes to me and starts talking and can’t see that I am preoccupied or in a “please don’t bother me” mode.  It\'s not a mean look or mode but one that an observant person should be able to pick up on.  So as I began to attempt this experient, my radar was on high alert for \"dont\' bother me\" body language.\n\nI was at the Seattle airport and had just gotten my lunch and needed a place to sit.  The area was crowded and all the tables were occupied, but I saw a young lady who was sitting at a four top by herself.  I thought maybe just maybe, she will be the one…so I asked her if I could sit down and she very nicely in her accent said yes.  Now she seemed very engaged in her mobile device as we all generally are, but I didn’t let that deter me.  I asked if she was from Seattle, assuming this was a safe question that could lead to more conversation…she was from the UK and was just flying through the city.  We had about a five min convo about how pretty the space we were in was and then...of course...my phone rang.  I had to take it, so that severed our convo.  Although, we didn\'t get to get into any deep conversation, I will call this a successful completion of round 1.  Why???  well, I got passed my fears and took the leap into the uncomfortable zone of initiating conversation with a stranger.  I’m hoping the more I do this the easier it will become and the deeper the conversations will get, but you have to start somewhere.\n\nDo you do this?  Strike up conversations with strangers?  I mean I can talk to people I know or to people I have common interests with all day long, but a complete stranger?  Didn\'t your momma tell you not to talk to strangers?!?!?!?  I mean who is this person, do you really want to talk to them?  For me, it\'s more of initiating a conversation with someone and not knowing what to say.  Not wanting to look completely ignorant with the other person and appear to be wasting their time.  This experience was cool because we weren\'t there to learn anything new and we weren\'t there to judge one another...we were just eating lunch and waiting for our plane(s).  So the common denominator between us was that we were both young (smile), we were both eating lunch, we were both waiting on something and we were both alone.  My goal next time is to pick the person a little more carefully and hopefully make some sort of deeper connection with them and we can truly network/connect with one another.\n\nWhat are your tricks for connecting with people/strangers?\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent7.png\"><img title=\"The-Happiness-Bucket transparent\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent7.png?w=300\" height=\"125\" width=\"300\" /></a>','Networking the New Way -

So enter the experiment #1:  I was at the Seattle airport and had just gotten my lunch and needed a place to sit.  The area was crowded and all the tables were occupied, but I saw a young lady who was sitting at a four top by herself.  I thought maybe just maybe, she will be the one…so I asked her if I could sit down and she very nicely in her accent said yes.  Now she seemed very engaged in her mobile device as we all generally are, but I didn’t let that deter me.  I asked if she was from Seattle, assuming this was a safe question that could lead to more conversation…she was from the UK and was just flying through.  We had about a five min convo and then my phone rang, so although that severed our convo, I will call this a successful completion of round 1.  I got passed my fears and took the leap into the uncomfortable zone of initiating conversation with a stranger.  I’m hoping the more I do this the easier it will become.\n\nDo you do this?  Strike up conversations with strangers?  I mean I can talk to people I know or to people I have common interests with all day long, but a complete stranger?  Didn\'t your momma tell you not to talk to strangers?!?!?!?  I mean who is this person, do you really want to talk to them?  For me, it\'s more of initiating a conversation with someone and not knowing what to say.  Not wanting to look completely ignorant with the other person and appear to be wasting their time.  This experience was cool because we weren\'t there to learn anything new and we weren\'t there to judge one another...we were just eating lunch and waiting for our plane(s).  So the common denominator between us was that we were both young (smile), we were both eating lunch, we were both waiting on something and we were both alone.  My goal next time is to pick the person a little more carefully and hopefully make some sort of deeper connection with them and we can truly network/connect with one another.\n\nWhat are you tricks for connecting with people/strangers?\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent7.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1025\" title=\"The-Happiness-Bucket transparent\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent7.png?w=300\" height=\"125\" width=\"300\" /></a>','Networking The New Way? - Part 1','','inherit','closed','closed','','1285-revision-v1','','','2019-04-08 19:52:04','2019-04-08 19:52:04','',1285,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/1285-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7881,1,'2019-04-08 19:58:38','2019-04-08 19:58:38','Many years ago I had \"organized\" my warranties and manuals into this old curtain or sham bag...you know the bags that the items come in when you first purchase them.  Well, I love to repurpose these bags because they are clear and contained.  So, I just loaded it down with any manual I could find. \n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120813-002023.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120813-002023.jpg\" alt=\"20120813-002023.jpg\" /></a>\n\n It actually worked for the most part because I knew exactly where to go.  The downside to this wonderful creation of mine is that each time I needed to find a manual, I\'d have to take everything out or at least flip through half the contents before I found what I needed.  Well, in flew Alejandra with her special organizing cape once again!  I was recently inspired by <a href=\"http://youtu.be/_sqrChfq5ck\" target=\"_blank\">Alejandra\'s video on organizing manuals and warranties</a>.  After seeing how she organized her manuals I was in love! I had previously done exactly what she warned against in her video regarding the sleeve protectors- FAIL. But hearing her explain the difference with these pockets, I immediately started my quest to reorganize my manuals and warranties.\n\nFirst, I did exactly what she did, I sorted everything into categories that made since to me: electronics, furniture, gadgets, appliances.  All these categories are represented on the top row. The second row is trash (items I had donated or thrown away), items I wasn\'t sure I owned, and items I didn\'t think I owned but wanted to make sure.\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120813-002046.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120813-002046.jpg\" alt=\"20120813-002046.jpg\" /></a>\n\nI then placed the four stacks on the top row in the pockets and included them in my binders.  Ok, first thing you should know if you go looking for these pockets is to ask someone in the store if at first glance you don\'t locate them. At the Staples I went to it was not with the other pockets but with the binder folders.  They also come in multiple colors and they have them in the box in alternating colors (red, blue, yellow, clear...red, blue... Etc.). I made the brave attempt to go on my pocket quest during tax free weekend...I will never be the same!\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120813-004629.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120813-004629.jpg\" alt=\"20120813-004629.jpg\" /></a>\n\nAnother issue or lesson learned is I got the wrong sized binders.  In the store the larger binders seemed so big...so I went with the 1in.  Needless to say I HAVE to sacrifice and go get two larger binders...but since it waaaas my fault I\'ll just keep the others and use them for something else.  (enter long pause and deep breath) now you guys know this is no sacrifice lol I LOOOOOVE these freaking binders! Ill get the larger ones, but I\'m not exchanging the others lol.  \n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120813-004638.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120813-004638.jpg\" alt=\"20120813-004638.jpg\" /></a>\n\nAnyway, I\'m extremely pleased with my binders and I\'m thankful to my organizing hero Alejandra for sharing her methods so graciously.  I still need to add my front and sleeve labels, but this was a success if I say so myself.\n\nMy HappinessBucket is filled, is yours?\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-887\" title=\"The-Happiness-Bucket transparent\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent.png?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" /></a>','Organizing My Manuals and Warranties','','inherit','closed','closed','','854-revision-v1','','','2019-04-08 19:58:38','2019-04-08 19:58:38','',854,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/854-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7883,1,'2019-04-08 19:59:43','2019-04-08 19:59:43','Today, I had a bit of a wakeup call about my problem...yes I have a problem and I bet you do too. What is my problem you ask??? I sometimes keep things that I don\'t need!!!! I have good intentions, but a lack of follow through. Come on, admit it...you have this same problem. Don\'t act like I\'m in this by myself.\n\nYou will find that in the process of decluttering, you will organize stuff that should be thrown away and you will make piles/stacks of things to review or handle later. Many times people forget about these projects and the stacks just get moved from place to place...or they get organized and forgotten...or you just don\'t have the \"time\" to work on them. Ok people, lets be realistic with ourselves about these mystery stacks and set some guidelines as to when they will be discarded, completed or cleaned out.\n\nOne way to combat this issue is to create a visitation log for the item/stack. This could be a label that you hang from the basket or clip to the stack. On the label you should have the following. (1) The start date which is the date you create the stack or pile, (2) Several lines for the access date(s) which will have the date that you work on the project or read the magazine, etc., and (3) an expiration date which is an allotted amount of time to have completed the project.\n\nDelivery Date: 8/13/12\nAccess Date: ___________\nAccess Date: ___________\nAccess Date: ___________\nExpiration Date: six months from the last date accessed\n\nBy creating this label it forces you to face reality. Now there are other organized areas that this process won\'t work for so you have to be honest with yourself and determine when you will regularly clean out those areas. For example, you have a basket that is the junk basket for a closet. Once a month or quarter you should planned to clean the basket out or review its contents. Set some rules for yourself. If you have something in there that you haven\'t used in over a year or two seasons (i.e., 2 winters in a row)...it\'s time to let it G.O. By doing the regular review, you eliminate the risk of forgetting that you own an item.\n\nNow that I have given you some suggested fixes let me tell you about a couple of my \"special places\":\n\n<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">The Candy Basket</span>\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120812-232142.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120812-232142.jpg\" alt=\"20120812-232142.jpg\" /></a>\n\nNow don\'t judge! This basket used to be the stuffed animal basket, until I realized I have no kids and in reality what do I need stuffed animals for....so it became my basket where I threw hard candy and gum...and other little treats that don\'t need to be in the kitchen. Reality...well, that cookie in the box is from TWO YEARS AGO!!! Yes, my best friend got married and his bride sent these out to those who were in the wedding. It was the cutest thing ever, so I didn\'t want to eat it...but really, do I still need it in the house? I\'m sure if she is reading this, she is cringing at the fact that it wasn\'t eaten, but it was just too darn cute! This basket is getting an overhaul and will be repurposed into my stair travel basket. I will place it by the stairs and anything that needs to go up will be put in it and once it is upstairs, anything that needs to go downstairs will be placed in it. I really don\'t need that much candy and gum anyway!\n\n<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Basket of Magazines</span>\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120812-232214.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120812-232214.jpg\" alt=\"20120812-232214.jpg\" /></a> <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120812-232220.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120812-232220.jpg\" alt=\"20120812-232220.jpg\" /></a>\n\nNow this basket is really pretty useful, but do I really need two of them??? And how often have I retrieved a magazine out of it? Ummmm we are being honest right?? Well the reality is I never retrieve the magazines out of it, so that tells me I need to get rid of them!!! I hate to do that because I\'m sure the magazines in them have great articles but they have been sitting there for over a year. It\'s time to just let them G.O! I have already stopped all my previous subscriptions, but that was probably two years ago (yeah just like the cookie). I\'m sure a teacher could use these for some kind of art project. So, I am going to set a three month expiration date on them. If they aren\'t reviewed by that date all of them will be donated.\n\n<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Lesson Plans and Supporting Books</span>\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120812-232227.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120812-232227.jpg\" alt=\"20120812-232227.jpg\" /></a>\n\nAbout ummm Three years ago, I used to teach a class at one of the local colleges and they gave me copies of all the books for the lesson plans. Some of the books were for classes I didn\'t even teach, but I kept them because I wanted to review them and teach myself some stuff to help with work. Well, reality is I haven\'t cracked those books since they walked (like they have legs) into this house. They have just moved from place to place. I have decided they will be relocated to my office, at work and labeled using the method above. Since they are technology books a lot of the data may be obsolete, but I wanted to get some of the basic computing information that they provide.\n\nI\'m sure I have other areas of \"organized crap\" in the house, but those are the first three I will tackle. Do you have any \"organized crap\" around your home or office? Try the methods above and let me know how they work for you. You know what I\'m about to say...FILL THAT HAPPINESS BUCKET...lets get the crap out of your life!','Organized Crap...how much do you have?','','inherit','closed','closed','','821-revision-v1','','','2019-04-08 19:59:43','2019-04-08 19:59:43','',821,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/821-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7889,1,'2019-04-08 20:03:59','2019-04-08 20:03:59','How many times have you used the phrases (excuses)...I would but I\'m just so busy...or I wish there was more time in a day...I\'m just so tired...well, I know I have used all of these and other variations of them.  As I look around and see all the unfinished projects and things I need to do I face a harsh reality...I have the time, I just CHOOSE not to do it.  \n\nThe main question we need to be asking ourselves is why don\'t we have the time?  I mean when I really want to do something I miraculously find the time to do it.  I shift my schedule so I can make the party or see that movie or make that special sale.  When I set the goal to do the 1/2 marathon I figured out a way to do the mileage every Sat morning for three+ hours for three months.  When I wanted to learn how to salsa dance I was taking classes every Tue, Wed, Thur and Sun nights for 1+ hours a night.  When I wanted to watch the grammy\'s I found four hours when I was free.  \n\nIn this Decluttering journey I have determined I make extremely too many excuses of why I don\'t have time to do something.  Setting clear goals (as with anything else) will help you achieve what you are trying to do.  I know I am a procrastinator at heart and I tend to work better under pressure...wait is that just another excuse or is there some truth to that?  Well for me...there is truth to it.  If I know I have 30 mins before I leave to get all the trash and clean the kitchen because I\'m having company right after work and I won\'t have time to do it when I get home...best believe I can work it in so it is done...and in many cases whatever I have to do is done much better than I would have done it otherwise.  When I have too much time and no clearly defined goals I get sidetracked and start multiple projects until I look and there is a bigger mess than when I started.  \n\n<br /><br /><a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/20120305-192257.jpg\"><img src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/20120305-192257.jpg\" alt=\"20120305-192257.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" /></a>\n\nSo take a tip from my Decluttering steps, set small goals.  Those goals should be obtainable and should be able to fit into a certain amount of time.  Small chunks are better than big chunks that take lots of time. This can be applied to any goal you have in life...break it down into obtainable goals and next thing you know you will have a big O\' bucket of Happiness (get how I used the word bucket right there lol)! So today I will start a master list of small obtainable projects.  As I\'m working on something, if something new pops up it will just be added to the list...hopefully I won\'t end up with a 500 item list and no results lollllll let me get post this blog and get started before I get sidetracked lol.\n\nHave you filled your happiness bucket today?','Who Has The Time?!?!!!','','inherit','closed','closed','','634-revision-v1','','','2019-04-08 20:03:59','2019-04-08 20:03:59','',634,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/634-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7894,1,'2019-04-08 21:06:04','2019-04-08 21:06:04',' ','','','publish','closed','closed','','7894','','','2020-02-04 05:32:51','2020-02-04 05:32:51','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/?p=7894',6,'nav_menu_item','',0),(7895,1,'2019-04-10 15:03:22','2019-04-10 15:03:22','We all need to get things done.

I have known for years that I am not a morning person. It takes me a while for my engine to start running at full capacity. Knowing this I try not to schedule any meetings or important tasks on my calendar before 10 am. This ensures those things get the best part of me. Your high peak time may be different, and that\'s okay, just identify when that time is and make it known. Use your low peak times to complete more repetitive or administrative tasks that require limited focus.\n<h2>Set Specific Times to Check Email Each Day</h2>\nI know in this electronic age this is taboo for some of you. I heard the collective gasp of dismay, but I encourage you to try it. Remember this is all about being more organized.\n\nThe pattern I follow is that I check mail during my least productive time of the day (early morning), before lunch and after lunch and then before I leave for the day. I am not shy about letting people know this either. The rule is if it is important...call me. Outside of those times, I am able to focus on the task at hand instead of playing find the latest email in my inbox.\n<h2>Turn Off Sound Notifications</h2>\nSounds are extremely intrusive, especially when they are coming from your computer or your phone. My number one tip to be more organized is to turn off the notifications for emails and texts on your computer and cell phone.  I do this specifically while I am in the office and/or working on major tasks.\n\nThis is by far one of the biggest productivity killers because it keeps you from being present. For iPhone users (I\'m not sure about other phones), you could consider turning on the do not disturb feature, which will help limit distractions when you are working on a major task (Note: You can set rules for favorite numbers so you can get calls from specific people or if there is an emergency).\n\nFor those of you who find the idea of silencing your phone hard, try getting it out of your line of sight. Put it in your coat pocket, bag or purse so you aren\'t constantly checking it.\n<h2>Turn Off Popup Notifications</h2>\nAre you seeing a theme here? We are eliminating those habit forming distractions that prevent us from being more organized.\n\nOk so, you know that big box that pops up telling you that you have mail. This is a productivity killer! Unless you are expecting an important email, there is no need for this popup to be activated. If you are an email watcher I would encourage you to even turn off the small little email and/or chime that appears in your toolbar when new mail arrives.\n\nBy following the second step above you will not miss anything.  Encourage people to only email you with non-emergency items and to call you if there is something that needs your attention right away.\n<h2>Close Social Media, Streaming and other Websites</h2>\nThese are also high ranking productivity killers. You say oh I’ll just listen to the game or the commentary while I do XYZ, but really you are splitting your focus. There is no way to fully focus on a task if you have part of your brain focused on what Mike Greenberg said on SportsCenter. I won\'t even get into how easy it is to waste time when making a \"quick post\" on social media. Unless your job is to monitor these things, I recommend saving it for lunch or after hours.\n<h2>Remove Clutter from your Workspace</h2>\nAll the extra trinkets and things on your desk take up space physically, mentally and visually. I know you want to personalize your desk…and that is fine. However, if you want to be more organized and productive, don’t go overboard. If you must have them, place them in areas that are the least distracting and don’t take up precious real estate on the workspace of your desk.\n\nDon\'t over complicate clutter removal. Start on one side of your desk and work your way across removing anything you don\'t need to do your job. In your direct line of sight you should keep it to one personal item in each direction you look at the most (on the left, in the front and to the right). If you have a lot of photos or other mementos, consider placing them behind you or above your line of sight. This requires you to really focus on looking at them versus them taking up your visual space at all times.\n<h2>Designate Daily Key Tasks</h2>\nEach day, pick three to four key tasks that you must complete. I would recommend two big ones and two small unless you know the big one will take a long time. This ensures you have forward momentum in your day because we all know there is nothing like marking something off your list. If you finish all four tasks before the day ends, you can always add on more.\n<h2>End Your Day With a Clean Desk/Space</h2>\nYou should always close out your day by cleaning/straightening your space and desk. This allows you to not only reflect on what you were able to accomplish for the day but also to make a high-level plan for the next day. It also creates an environment of creativity for the following work day. When you come in you will be ready to hit the ground running, even if you are only checking emails.\n<h2>Start and End Your Day With a Planning Period</h2>\nI like to do mine at the end of the day and then revisit it at the beginning of the day. This planning period allows me to process what tasks need to be done next. I can also prep my desk for the next day as recommended above. When I come in, I review my plan one more time to ensure nothing has changed. This allows me to be more organized and productive because I know exactly where to begin on the following day.\n<h2>Treat Important Tasks Like Important Meetings</h2>\nBlock these tasks off in your calendar like you would a meeting and prep for it in the same way. This encourages you to use this designated time to focus on that task. You will be amazed at how an hour of focused time can make a difference in how efficiently you are able to complete a task. Make sure to give it the same importance as you would with a Client meeting. Don’t push it or cut it short unless absolutely necessary - would you do that to a Client?\n\nI hope you found these tips useful and that they will help you to be more organized. Please share below any additional or adaptive tips you may have to increase your productivity and stress levels.\n\n**********************************************************************\n\nDana is a Holistic Process Strategist, Professional Organizer, a Certified Project Manager and Life Coach in Nashville, TN.  Join the <a href=\"https://app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/247793?v=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Happiness Deposits</a> newsletter for more organizing tips related to space, life, soul and business.','How to Ensure Your Day Will Be More Organized and Less Stressful','','inherit','closed','closed','','7492-autosave-v1','','','2019-04-10 15:16:38','2019-04-10 15:16:38','',7492,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/7492-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7898,1,'2019-04-10 15:17:48','2019-04-10 15:17:48','How many days have you walked into work already frazzled from the crazy traffic or having a hectic morning leaving the house? What about those days when you discover something was due or there was a meeting that you forgot about? We all have these things that come up, but by instituting these 10 daily tips you can ensure your day will be more organized enabling you to handle these inevitable unknowns with grace and less stress.\r\n<h2>Identifying the Productive Part of Your Day</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-7569\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Ensure-Your-Day-200x300.png\" alt=\"Ensure Your Day will be organized and less stressful | The Happiness Bucket\" width=\"345\" height=\"519\" />\r\n\r\nOne way to be more organized is to determine your most productive part of the day.  Once you do you want to schedule your important project work and meetings during this time.

However, if you want to be more organized and productive, don’t go overboard. If you must have them, place them in areas that are the least distracting and don’t take up precious real estate on the workspace of your desk.\r\n\r\nDon\'t over complicate clutter removal. Start on one side of your desk and work your way across removing anything you don\'t need to do your job. In your direct line of sight you should keep it to one personal item in each direction you look at the most (on the left, in the front and to the right). If you have a lot of photos or other mementos, consider placing them behind you or above your line of sight. This requires you to really focus on looking at them versus them taking up your visual space at all times.\r\n<h2>Designate Daily Key Tasks</h2>\r\nEach day, pick three to four key tasks that you must complete. I would recommend two big ones and two small unless you know the big one will take a long time. This ensures you have forward momentum in your day because we all know there is nothing like marking something off your list. If you finish all four tasks before the day ends, you can always add on more.\r\n<h2>End Your Day With a Clean Desk/Space</h2>\r\nYou should always close out your day by cleaning/straightening your space and desk. This allows you to not only reflect on what you were able to accomplish for the day but also to make a high-level plan for the next day. It also creates an environment of creativity for the following work day. When you come in you will be ready to hit the ground running, even if you are only checking emails.\r\n<h2>Start and End Your Day With a Planning Period</h2>\r\nI like to do mine at the end of the day and then revisit it at the beginning of the day. This planning period allows me to process what tasks need to be done next. I can also prep my desk for the next day as recommended above. When I come in, I review my plan one more time to ensure nothing has changed. This allows me to be more organized and productive because I know exactly where to begin on the following day.\r\n<h2>Treat Important Tasks Like Important Meetings</h2>\r\nBlock these tasks off in your calendar like you would a meeting and prep for it in the same way. This encourages you to use this designated time to focus on that task. You will be amazed at how an hour of focused time can make a difference in how efficiently you are able to complete a task. Make sure to give it the same importance as you would with a Client meeting. Don’t push it or cut it short unless absolutely necessary - would you do that to a Client?\r\n\r\nI hope you found these tips useful and that they will help you to be more organized. Please share below any additional or adaptive tips you may have to increase your productivity and stress levels.\r\n\r\n**********************************************************************\r\n\r\nDana is a Holistic Process Strategist, Professional Organizer, a Certified Project Manager and Life Coach in Nashville, TN.  Join the <a href=\"https://app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/247793?v=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Happiness Deposits</a> newsletter for more organizing tips related to space, life, soul and business.','How to Ensure Your Day Will Be More Organized and Less Stressful','','inherit','closed','closed','','7492-revision-v1','','','2019-04-10 15:17:48','2019-04-10 15:17:48','',7492,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/7492-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7899,1,'2019-04-10 15:28:39','2019-04-10 15:28:39','<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">Understanding wants versus needs is an important step on your journey to getting and staying organized. You see, I notice that people often interchange these words, but they shouldn\'t. Each has a distinctive purpose and meaning.  So let me break this down.</p>\r\n\r\n<h1 class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">Definition of a Need</h1>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">When you think of a need, it constitutes something that you absolutely MUST have, because there will be detrimental consequences if you don\'t have or do it. It\'s that thing that you don\'t really have much of a choice in whether you do it or not. I need to pick my daughter up no later than 5:30, because if I don\'t I will get a hefty fine. Yes I have a choice, but after so many tardy\'s the school has to take additional action. Another example is that I need to take my medicine. I don\'t necessarily want to take it, but if I want to reduce the chances of getting sick I need to take it. One final example, is the need to go to work, because if I don\'t go, I don\'t make money and ultimately I may lose my job. I think you get the point, so now lets talk about wants.</p>\r\n\r\n<h1 class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">Definition of a Want</h1>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">Wants are the most common thing you encounter on a daily basis. Most of what we do and have is because we want it, not because we need it. There is a clear distinction of will you die without it or will you be alright. Will you or someone else face irreparable harm if you don\'t have, do or get it? In most cases, the answer is no. Think about all the clothes and shoes in your closet and be honest with yourself. Most of those items are wants and not needs. How do I know? Well, back in the day (I know you\'ve heard these stories), your ancestors had one pair of church shoes and one pair of daily shoes and in some cases, they were one in the same. There wasn\'t a lot of clothing in a woman\'s wardrobe back in the day. Seriously, the ladies when traveling would carry one small suitcase or one small trunk. If we had to pack up your clothes today just how many suitcases and trunks would you need to travel across the country? Hey, don\'t give me that look, I\'m just the messenger.</p>\r\n\r\n<h1 class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">The Reality of Want Versus Need</h1>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">Now that you have a clear understanding between needs and wants, you know that most of what you have in your space, life, soul and business can be characterized as either a want or a need. I would almost guarantee that you are living with more wants than needs right now. I will say I have no problem with that EXCEPT, I am all about purposeful spending and getting to your 20%, so if you haven\'t done that, it\'s time. It\'s time to truly evaluate what you have and deal with it in an appropriate fashion. Start by asking yourself do you need XYZ. Do you need five pairs of black flats? Do you need fifteen pairs of jeans? What about the mountain of backdated magazines in the corner, are you going to really read them?</p>\r\n\r\n<h1 class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\"><img class=\"wp-image-7248 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Identifying-Needs-vs-Wants-200x300.png\" alt=\"Identifying Needs vs Wants | The Happiness Bucket\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" />Purposeful Spending</h1>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\"><span class=\"EOP\"> </span>Another place where need vs. want comes into play is when you go shopping. After you have gone through the five phases of the organizational roadmap. You will find yourself asking the question, is this a need or a want before you purchase anything. You will be in the realm of purposeful spending, which is when you only shop or buy with a purpose in mind.</p>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">To the chagrin of those around me, I have been in the purposeful spending realm for a while. I very rarely go to the mall to just browse or stroll. I typically only go when I have a distinctive need, I purchase it and then leave.</p>\r\n\r\n<h1 class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">Training Your Children</h1>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">Many parents struggle with teaching need vs. want to their children because most children want everything they see. One way that I help to address this issue is that we primarily only buy our daughter things on her birthday and at Christmas, and even then it isn\'t as much as you would think. We are very mindful of what she truly needs versus what she wants. We don\'t neglect or deprive our daughter of necessities, but we do set boundaries for her. We let her know if you don\'t really play with it anymore, you probably don\'t really need it. this is a lesson in progress, but it is something you shouldn\'t shy away from.</p>\r\n\r\n<h1 class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">Personal Antidote</h1>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">My husband and I sat a goal to save money this year. To really focus on some bigger goals we had for our family and all of them required money. Well, last year after the marriage retreat we decided that we wanted to attend the next year because we had a good time and needed that time away as a couple. Well, as the year progressed we realized we really needed to be saving money. We had to weigh the desire to go on the marriage retreat, because the decision to go came down to daycare, time and money.</p>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\"><span class=\"EOP\"> </span>In looking at our goals the one thing that kept sticking out was the cost of travelling for the retreat. All in all, we would probably spend close to $400 to attend. We had to weigh this expense against the fact that we had a big family trip we had already committed to going to and we had a surprise expense of having to replace our air conditioner (Need). Now in contemplating this decision, do we have the money to go, technically yes. Do we need to conserve our expenditures knowing the goals we have, yes. Do we want to go yes, but putting it all in perspective do we need to go...NO. It is a hard decision to make but you have to be honest with yourself and figure out what is most important. Well, the argument can be said that we NEED to sow into our relationship...and yes we do...but guess what, our church has marriage classes every Tuesday night. If we NEED it that bad we can find someone to keep our daughter each Tuesday night or at least one Tuesday a month and make a date out of the class and dinner.</p>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">The funny thing with this story is that we made the decision to not go on the trip and then it was gifted to us, so we were actually able to go. You see how things work out in the end. Make the right decisions and I promise you, you will be happier for it. Even if we hadn\'t been gifted the trip, we would have been happy with our decision, because it was what we knew we needed to do to meet the goals we had set for ourselves.</p>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">You see when you put things into perspective and provide yourself a <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/olp-access2/\">roadmap</a> you will see how that dictates and guides your actions. It helps you identify areas where you can make a change in your life and you know the purpose for those changes and decisions.</p>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\">It does take a little time to get the hang of asking yourself the question, but once you achieve that you will be able to really soar in your <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/personal-bucket/\">organizational journey</a>.</p>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\"><span class=\"EOP\"> </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\"><span class=\"EOP\"> </span></p>','The Difference Between Wants and Needs in Organizing','','inherit','closed','closed','','7244-revision-v1','','','2019-04-10 15:28:39','2019-04-10 15:28:39','',7244,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/7244-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7900,1,'2019-04-10 15:41:56','2019-04-10 15:41:56','It\'s October and you know what that means!!!  It\'s time to start you holiday organizing! It’s officially the holiday season and although I know many of you just let out a collective moan.  I love this time of year so I get in hyper-drive.\r\n\r\nOctober is all about Fall Festivals, Halloween and Dia De Los Muertos, November is Thanksgiving (in the states) and December is Christmas! In the Morales household, this is the time of year that our attic space gets a lot of love because I visit it at least once a month, if not more. This is also the time of year when things begin getting hectic because we are doing a lot of holiday organizing.  It\'s the time for holiday party invitations, weddings, family gatherings, gift shopping, baking and home decoration. <!--more-->I\'m sure for many it can be a stressful time because there is so much to do, but I want you to enjoy your holiday season! My recommendation is to plan out the season, batch as much work as you can and take it one day at a time. Sounds easy right? Well, it is and I\'m going to teach you how!\r\n<h2>Make Your High-Level Plan</h2>\r\nThe first step to holiday organizing is to plug anything you already know is happening into your calendar. I\'ll use myself as an example: on October 5th, we begin taking preorders for our hand-made crafts, mid-Oct is our wedding anniversary, a work conference and a family vacation. When we return it will be Halloween. We want to send a holiday gift box to my in-laws sometime in November. Thanksgiving is at our house again this year and Christmas is in Nashville so guests will come then. Looking at that I already know things are going to be busssssy!!!\r\n<h2>Break your plan down into To Do Lists</h2>\r\nSo the second step to holiday organizing is to look at each of those things and figure out what needs to happen for each.  You want to ask yourself what needs to happen in relation to X to be successful.  Add those items to your calendar so they become your due dates.\r\n\r\nFor some of you, you will need to add buffer tasks, but do what works best for you.  For example, I need to develop our Thanksgiving menu so I can send out the signup list to those coming who are bringing something. For the trip, I have to make sure I have what I need from a business standpoint and I need to start packing as soon as possible...not only for me but for my family as well! I need to purchase Halloween candy and begin making the food signup list for the holidays, etc etc.\r\n<h2>Batch Your To Do\'s</h2>\r\nNext on your holiday organizing plan, you want to sit down and think through the events you have planned.  By doing this, you can begin to determine your overall list of to do\'s and see where you can easily batch them together. For example, when I\'m sitting around waiting on others or have a little downtime, I can think about what I\'d like to get for my in-laws, I can also start drafting my Thanksgiving menu...all of this is of course documented in my Evernote app so it is always with me (read more about <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/organizing-with-evernote/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how I use Evernote to simplify my life</a>).  I also use all the steps previously mentioned in my <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/holiday-planning-guide-pt1/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Ultimate Holiday Planning Guide (Part 1)</a> and <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/holiday-planning-guide-pt2/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Ultimate Holiday Planning Guide (Part 2)</a>.\r\n<h2>Be Realistic</h2>\r\nI encourage you to look at your \"plan\" with an editing eye, especially if you are overwhelmed just by looking at it.  Look into areas where you can lessen your load or even delegate responsibilities.  This will help you have an enjoyable holiday season without the stress and frustration so many experience.\r\n\r\nIf you like what you read here, please share it with someone close to you.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Organizing for the Holidays','','inherit','closed','closed','','3834-revision-v1','','','2019-04-10 15:41:56','2019-04-10 15:41:56','',3834,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/3834-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7901,1,'2019-04-10 15:47:04','2019-04-10 15:47:04','\"Only touch things one time\"...I\'m sure you have heard this saying several times.  Every time I hear it, I shake my head because it isn\'t realistic in my house and I feel at times it can be really inefficient.

Yes, the space most of us spend at least 20% of our time in, if not more.  This is a space that can easily get out of hand  if we don\'t create a system that works. I want to tell you how I am able to keep a clean car even with a child in tow.\r\n\r\nWell, for the past couple of months I have really been focusing on this space, because it was driving me nuts!  You see before I had my daughter I had an organized and clean car. Now, don\'t get me wrong...it was never spotless, there were always the random runaway fries under my seat or dust on the dashboard, but <img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4923\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/refuel-2157211_640-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Refuel Gas\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" />the car itself was organized and clean.  .\r\n\r\nWell, fast forward to almost a year and a half later and I was about to lose my mind...I felt like I\'d never see a clean car again.  It was always a mess.<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://ctt.ec/5aw53\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img src=\"http://clicktotweet.com/img/bg-twitter.png\" alt=\"Tweet: I\'m not going to use the \" /></a><strong>Well, I decided enough was enough and I wasn\'t going to use that \"I\'m a mom, you wouldn\'t understand\" excuse to justify my lack of order any more. </strong>\r\n<h2>My Clean Car Plan</h2>\r\nSo, I created a plan...I decided every time I stopped for gas I would do a clean sweep of the car. This entailed throwing out any trash I could see -receipts, cups, napkins, etc. I had purchased a collapsible trunk organizer that had two compartments and several mesh pockets along with Velcro strips on the bottom. I put anything that didn\'t have an immediate need, was a return or needed to go into the house in one of the two compartments.\r\n\r\nI also cleaned out the door pockets and inner console and designated what went in each...again assigning an address to my belongings. So...once all this was determined the key question is did my plan work?\r\n<h2>A Small Window of Time</h2>\r\nYes, I kept with it, and I once again have a clean car (most of the time)!  It has been great!\r\n\r\nBy using the gas filling time to maintenance the inside of my car I knew I would do it at least once a week. It gave me a small window of time to knock it out and I always knew where everything was in my car. Now, this still didn\'t address the runaway fries, which now had multiplied because there were mine and my daughters in there, but we can only tackle one thing at a time!\r\n\r\nI can say that as of the writing of this post all runaway fries and other things lint and dirt that sneak under your seat, have found their way to the inside of a vacuum.  Apparently I got a bee in my bonnet about seeing all that stuff.\r\n\r\nOne other thing I do is I now keep a few grocery bags in the pocket of my backseat. This is really helpful when you are stuck in traffic to gather trash or to go through your glove compartment.  You can also use them when corralling toys or other things to take in the house.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nI hope you found this content helpful.  If so, join our community to ensure you receive all the organizational content we have to share with you.\r\n\r\nUntil next time, happy organizing!','How You Can Keep Your Car Clean','','inherit','closed','closed','','3613-revision-v1','','','2019-04-10 17:29:06','2019-04-10 17:29:06','',3613,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/3613-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7904,1,'2019-04-10 17:48:42','2019-04-10 17:48:42','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">How many times have you looked into your full closet and said, \"I have nothing to wear\"?  It is a mantra that is repeated all over the world on a regular basis.  It is a common issue because a number of us have excess weight that we are trying to let go of.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\'m not just talking about the actual excess weight you may be carrying.  I\'m talking about all those unused clothes taking up space in your closet that need to be removed.  It is a well known fact that you wear 20% of your clothing 80% of the time.  So, why have all those unused clothes in there?</p>\n\n<h2>My Unintentional Experiment</h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I recently proved the 80/20 rule to myself because of my excess weight issue.  None of my clothes were fitting properly and I refused to purchase new ones.  I knew I needed to buckle down and lose the weight and decided I\'d \"suffer\" until I did.</p>\n\n<blockquote>Want to learn my secrets to losing 4 dress sizes and almost 40 pounds the healthy way with no exercise?  <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/weight-loss-journey/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out Club Keto</a>.</blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What actually happened is I made it through the entire winter wearing the same five pairs of pants and a few dresses.  It was amazing that it really didn\'t cause me any problems other than making sure the pants were washed and dried before I needed to wear them.  I began to really think about this and decided that enough was enough.  It was time for my closet to shed its excess weight.</p>\n\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_3175\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"306\"]<img class=\"wp-image-3175\" src=\"https://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/img_5831-e1435294954431.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5831\" width=\"306\" height=\"278\" /> Organized Clutter[/caption]\n<h2>Shedding the Excess Weight</h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You see many of us go through the process of decluttering and organizing our home and that is great...it looks orderly and everything is in its place, but when you really look at what is there, you realize you don\'t use any of it.  That it is orderly junk...orderly waste...orderly clutter.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I admit it, I had clothes in my closet that fit my body, but I didn\'t like.  So what would happen?  I\'d go to my closet push clothes around on the rod skipping over those detested items and gravitate to the same 20%.  Well, one day I got a bee in my bonnet and I said enough is enough.  I removed all those items that I didn\'t really like...those items I regularly skipped over.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I put all of those items in a box and immediately took them to the local shelter.  Ask me if I miss any of those items and the answer is NO!  What I did discover were the remaining clothes!  They all of a sudden had a new life...I began to see color I had never seen before.  I started experimenting with new combinations of tops and bottoms, with scarves.  It honestly was like I was going into a new closet.</p>\n\n<h2>Getting Clarity in Your Closet</h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The other thing this did for me is that now I know exactly what I need to \"complete\" my wardrobe.

Do you try to force it, find another or adapt the one you have?\r\n\r\nI find so many people trying to force systems and processes into their environment that don\'t work for their lifestyle because \"everyone is doing it\" or this guru or that one said you had to do it.  Listen, people, it isn\'t a good system for you if it doesn\'t work for you!\r\n<h1>One Tip That Doesn\'t Work For Me</h1>\r\nSo here\'s an example of an organizing tip that just doesn\'t work for me. For years and years, I have heard the advice of using the reverse hanger tip to aid in decluttering.  Now, this is not to discount any other organizers in the world who have suggested this, but here at THB we are about real life inspiration and discovery and in my personal world I discovered long ago that the reversed hanger tip does not work for me.\r\n\r\nThe premise, for those of you that don’t know, is that you turn all the clothes in your closet backward (hanger hook facing out instead of in) at the beginning of a season. As you wear your clothes you will hang them facing the normal way. At the end of the season, you are supposed to evaluate and remove any items that are still facing the original backward direction. The thought is if you didn’t wear it all season you don’t need it.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/hangers.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2682\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/hangers.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"hangers\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow, in theory, this is a great idea, however, in my world, it goes a little something like this.\r\n\r\nI enter my closet to determine what I want to wear for the day. I pick one thing…it doesn’t work…it sometimes gets hung on the door and other times it gets thrown into a pile. Very rarely does it get hung instantly back on the rod and when it does I am usually in such a hurry that it goes in facing the normal way.\r\n<h1>Be Honest With Yourself</h1>\r\nHey, I’m being honest and that is what it is all about, being honest with yourself. If an organizing or process development tip doesn’t work for you, don’t use it or adapt it for your lifestyle. Find something that does work for you and your family and make it happen.\r\n\r\nFor me, I would rather just pick a day or two each season to go through my closet using my homegrown process that <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/resources/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">you can check out here</a>.\r\n\r\nFor those who have the discipline to follow the backward hanger tip, by all means, use it. It is an easy way to evaluate your use or non-use of an item, but if it doesn\'t find something else that does.\r\n<h1>Allowing Fear to Stop You</h1>\r\nNow that you understand all process and organizing tips aren\'t for you, I want to address fear.  The fear of trying something new.  Many of us have the, what if it doesn\'t work syndrome.  We are afraid to try out of fear we will fail.  Listen, what is the worst that can happen?  You implement a new process and the result isn\'t what you had hoped for.  Ok review and adapt.  Figure out what worked and what didn\'t, adapt it and try again.\r\n\r\nEach time you review your processes you will have less frustration because you will continue to identify and adapt processes that work.\r\n\r\nFor those of you who don\'t have a process or regularly find that what you are trying isn\'t working.  I recommend you start your journey with my <a href=\"https://thechangeacademy.thinkific.com/courses/organizational-roadmap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">organizational roadmap</a> because it will guide you through the proper order of process and organizational implementation.  Most people implement processes and organize out of order, which is why things aren\'t working.  They don\'t account for life transitions either, which have a huge impact on the success and failure rates of any system.\r\n\r\nI hope this help to reassure you that you aren\'t alone and encouraged you to find a system that works for you and your lifestyle.  Now, what other tips have you received/heard about that just didn’t work for you, your business or your family and why?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','When Organizing Tips Don\'t Work','','inherit','closed','closed','','2619-revision-v1','','','2019-04-19 17:00:55','2019-04-19 17:00:55','',2619,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/2619-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7916,1,'2019-04-19 17:02:50','2019-04-19 17:02:50','The never ending purging cycle...where does all the clutter come from?  Do you feel like you are having to purge stuff every few months because there is just too much???  Well, I have good news...I have a solution to help you eliminate clutter, but if I\'m honest...it never goes completely away, but it is definitely something that is manageable with the right systems in place.\r\n\r\nNow, if you have followed me for a while you have heard me refer to the <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/organizational-roadmap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">organizational roadmap stages</a>, but I want to specifically break down one important area - how to apply the key questions to help you eliminate the clutter coming into your space.\r\n<h1>Observation of Clutter Causes</h1>\r\nThere is usually a specific area that plagues you and your family on a regular basis and it is important that you observe and/or discuss how these items come into your home and/or how they become a problem.  This is really the first step in identifying the problem for you.  You see until you review what got you there in the first place you can\'t really address it.  Instead you will be placing temporary solutions (actually more clutter) in the space, creating sometimes more problems instead of solutions.\r\n<h1>Ask the Key Questions to Eliminate Clutter</h1>\r\n<img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6218\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/KeyQuestions-200x300.png\" alt=\"Eliminate Clutter - Ask these key questions | The Happiness Bucket\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" />To begin this process you need to ask yourself the key questions - who, what, when, where and why.  These questions help to remove the opinions and the guesswork and get to the facts of what needs to be done to eliminate clutter from your space. I also encourage you to ask the questions until you can\'t ask anymore...sometimes that may mean going four or five levels deep.\r\n\r\nFor example, if paper is an issue for you and those around you, I\'d find out what all the sources are of the paper entering the space.  Where does it come from? How does it enter the space?  What type of paper is it?  Why are you keeping it?  Who needs it? How often do they need it?  Who normally brings it in?  When does it seem to be at it\'s worst? etc. etc.  The answers to these questions give you a foundational view into the problem at hand.  It also lets you know where you can consolidate or eliminate issues. Keep asking questions until you can\'t ask any more.\r\n\r\nI used paper as the example here because this was one of the main areas of frustration when we moved into our home.  It seemed to always multiply and congregate on our dining room table and kitchen cabinets (ha like it\'s a person) and only got worse once our daughter started school.  We were able to identify and isolate the main problem, create a system that worked for our family and identify a purging plan.  We also identified ways we could reduce the paper coming into the house.  The key questions were especially helpful in identifying what paper clutter we could eliminate, where we stored each type of paper and how long we stored it.\r\n\r\nI encourage you to evaluate your situation today and apply my <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/organizational-roadmap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">organizational roadmap concepts</a> to determine where you can reduce or eliminate clutter from your life.  If you would like more detailed direction as to how to eliminate clutter and organize your space, I encourage you to signup for my <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/GettingOrganized\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Organize Like a Pro Course</a>.','How to Eliminate Clutter by Asking Key Questions','','inherit','closed','closed','','5829-revision-v1','','','2019-04-19 17:02:50','2019-04-19 17:02:50','',5829,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/5829-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7917,1,'2019-04-19 17:04:41','2019-04-19 17:04:41','How many of you have been contemplating cutting cable, but have a fear of missing something? Come on, I know I wasn\'t and aren\'t the only one who has had these types of thoughts.  You know you are paying way too much to sit and watch tv.  You ponder regularly as to how you can get everything done that needs to be done, yet you catch every episode of your favorite tv shows.\r\n\r\nYou see I know the truth!  Why...because I\'ve been there too.  In fact, I just officially cut the cable cord and it feels sooooooooooo good!  My husband and I have been talking about doing this for almost two years and we finally made the decision to make it happen.  When I calculate how much we could have saved in those two years that we tetered with the idea (approximately $2400 dollars if not more) I just shake my head!\r\n\r\nI want to share with you a little about our cutting cable process (we aren\'t finished with everything yet), in hopes that I encourage you to let go of the fear and take the next step along your journey.\r\n<h1>Getting Your Cutting Cable Mindset Right</h1>\r\nAs you know, In the <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/organizational-roadmap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Organizational Roadmap Workshop</a>, I teach that the first thing you must do in any new endeavor is get your mind right. This particular situation is no exception, in fact...if I\'m being honest with you and myself, I think my husband and I stayed in <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/organizational-roadmap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this stage</a> a little too long! Knowing that, I want to help you overcome some of the fears you may be experiencing as it pertains to cutting cable.\r\n\r\n[convertkit form=5064088]\r\n<h2>Cable is Entertainment Not a Necessity</h2>\r\nFirst of all, as with most people, we knew that we were being totally overcharged for the entertainment of television.  I mean, lets get real...that\'s what it is, it\'s entertainment.  It\'s extra, it\'s not a necessity (unless your livelihood requirements i.e., news reporter or an entertainment blogger).  We complained about how much we were paying each month that we paid the bill, but month after month we still paid it.  So if this is you, lets get your mindset right.\r\n<h2>Money Saved from Cutting Cable Could Fund More Important Goals</h2>\r\nLets say you could save $75 - $100 each month.  Would this help you with the goals you have for your life?  Could you reallocate that money to help pay off something else or save up for something you\'ve been wanting to do?  Most people will admit that they could do something better with that money.  Now, if you are someone who has a lot of extra expendable income and you don\'t need to save then this really isn\'t something that you need to overcome.  To my understanding, most cable cord cutters are looking to save money and stop giving companies money unnecessarily.  So, if this is you, definitely read on.\r\n<h2>Acknowledge and Eliminate Your Fears</h2>\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-5767 size-medium alignright\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/CableCuttingPin-200x300.png\" alt=\"Eliminating the fear of cutting cable | The Happiness Bucket\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nSo the next thing we need to do in this mindset journey is to tackle some of the fears you may be feeling.  One thing is what about all the shows I love.  Okay, so this is a big one that we can help put into perspective, so to help you overcome this fear I want you to do a few things:\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h3>List out all the shows you watch</h3>\r\nThe first thing you need to do is get a list of all your favorite shows.  If you have a DVR, this may be a little easier for you as you can just look at your recording history or your wishlist to develop your list of shows.</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h3>Prioritize your List</h3>\r\nNow it\'s time to prioritize your list.  I know you have those shows you usually watch as soon as they come on or shortly there after.  If you are anything like me, you also have a number of shows you are behind on, this should be a clue to you that they shouldn\'t be #1 on your priority list.  By prioritizing your list, it will help you eliminate and determine, which platforms you need and which you don\'t.</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h3>Identify what platforms the show(s) are on</h3>\r\nAt this point, you can identify which platforms each of the shows is on.  When I did this I realized that a lot of what we watch is on regular television networks.  These networks are absolutely free using the over the air (OTA) signal.  You just need an antenna to get the signal.  It just came down to identifying what other networks are represented on our list.\r\n\r\nIn our tivo box, it was easy to identify each show\'s platform(s). You just go into the info section of the shows in your record list and it shows the platforms at the top near the show image.  Just write these down so you can evaluate the list as a whole. I found that many of the shows we watch, air on up to four platforms.</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h3>Identify the platforms and their fees</h3>\r\nNow that you have your prioritized show list and have identified their associated platforms, you need to research their costs.  When I did this for our list I learned about a number of platforms I didn\'t really knew existed.  Most of what I watched was isolated down to OTA, Amazon, Vudu or Hulu.  You need to look at each platform and see how much it costs for a monthly subscription and/or the purchase of an entire season. One example I can give you is there are two shows that come on the OWN network that I love to watch - Greenleaf and Queen Sugar.  Both of these<img class=\"wp-image-5765 alignleft\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Research-Savings-300x300.png\" alt=\"Eliminating the fear of cutting cable\" width=\"216\" height=\"216\" /> are available on Amazon and Vudu.  I can purchase by the season fox approximately $20ish dollars or I can pay $1.99 - $2.99 per episode.  The other option is for me to get a subscription service that provides that channel.  Think about the cost of a subscription vs. purchasing the two series outright.  As an example we are talking ~$50 for both full seasons vs. $60 to add the special package on Sling that provides that channel. In our case, we had planned to get Sling anyway, so to me it makes sense to purchase access to the channel so I can get those shows plus a few more that were lower on my priority list.  In your case, if you aren\'t planning to or don\'t want to get sling, then you would compare the ~$50 to your setup fees etc.\r\n<h2>The Point I Want to Make</h2>\r\nThe point of all of this is to deal in facts and not your fears.  Focus on wrapping your mind around the task at hand.  Understand what you will gain vs. what you will truly lose.  Do the math, break it down and see exactly what you are dealing with.\r\n\r\nThe hesitation that most of us feel is actually the fear of letting go. The fear of the unknown; the fear of missing out; and the fear of what you will do without. I encourage you to focus on the truth...the facts of what you will gain if you take a chance.  You will get gain time in your day; you will discover things that you didn\'t know were out there; you will gain more money in your pocket/bank account; you will gain the reassurance that you can do it; and you might even gain time with your family.\r\n\r\nIt never hurts to just try it and see...you can always go back to cable if you absolutely hate it.</li>\r\n</ol>','Eliminate the Fear of Cutting Cable - Save Money','','inherit','closed','closed','','5760-revision-v1','','','2019-04-19 17:04:41','2019-04-19 17:04:41','',5760,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/5760-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7918,1,'2019-04-19 17:07:46','2019-04-19 17:07:46','<header class=\"page-header\">Have you ever looked at a space and felt totally frozen in your tracks?  I mean you can\'t think...you can\'t take action, you just keep looking at that same pile of clothes, papers, closet, etc. knowing you need to do something, but not knowing what that something is.  Well, I encourage you to use the <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/organizational-roadmap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">organizational roadmap stages</a> to help you regain clarity.  You see these stages were designed to help you systematically walk through your road blocks with little to no emotional attachment.  </header>I recommend starting with a small space like your bathroom counter top, in fact, that is where I started.  I was having a hard time keeping it clean and it frustrated me because there always seemed to be a mountain of stuff on it.  One day I looked at the contents of the counter and realized half the stuff didn’t belong there or I rarely used it.  That day I decided to do an experiment to see what I really used.  The steps that developed during this experiment are the steps that I am now sharing with you.  This experiment helped me realize that I was shifting the unused things around to get to items I needed. Ultimately, it wasn’t giving me the feeling I wanted when I entered my beautiful bathroom.  These steps provided an easy way to determine what I really needed without feeling overwhelmed.  Now, let me show you the steps I used so you can regain clarity in your space too:\r\n\r\n<header></header><section id=\"post-4041\" class=\"post-4041 page type-page status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry\"><article id=\"post-4041\" class=\"post-4041 page type-page status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry\">\r\n<div class=\"entry-content clearfix\">\r\n<h2>Step 1 - Identify the space you want to address</h2>\r\nIn this exercise, I want you to make sure the space is small...especially if this is your first time.  We have to crawl before we walk, so I don\'t want you to bite off too much right out the gate. It should be a space that can be handled pretty quickly (i.e., a desk, your bathroom countertop/drawers, your kitchen countertop, etc.)\r\n<h2>Step 2 - Identify your goal and purpose for the space</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5649\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Regain-Clarity-200x300.png\" alt=\"How to Regain Clarity\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" />Think about how you currently use the space, what is working and what isn\'t.  Don\'t overthink this process, you can consider this your first round of decluttering.  You see many people get so overwhelmed with the state of their space that they overthink the process.  Start small then build momentum as you go.  You can always revisit the area once you are full steam ahead to see if you want to make any additional tweaks.\r\n<h2>Step 3 - Clear your space of everything</h2>\r\nThis is the easiest and honestly most stress relieving action (well to me it is).  Think of it as starting fresh, having a clean slate and being able to make the rules up as you go.  Just remove everything from the space as if you were moving.  I recommend using an empty box to help you clear the space (you guys know how I feel about my paper boxes)!  That being said, if you don\'t have a box the floor or a nearby table will do just fine.\r\n<h2>Step 4 - Process and Return Necessary Items</h2>\r\nNow this is where a lot of people get into trouble LOL.  Seriously, think very carefully here...I want you to think through how you use the space and what you need to do whatever it is that you do. As you think about that process, return only the things that enable you to complete it.  For example, a bathroom sink you need your eyeglasses and contact solution near.  The question is do you need them on top of the cabinet or in the top drawer where they are easily accessible?  Go with your first instinct, it is usually right.\r\n<h2>Step 5 - System Development and Test</h2>\r\nNow that you have made your decisions in step 4, you probably have a number of items left in your box.  All remaining items should remain in this box and be placed out of the way.  It should be close enough so you can access it if you are looking for or needing something, but far enough away so that it is out of your immediate sight.  The purpose of this step is to identify items that you REALLY need versus those that you THINK you need.  You should live with this setup for 7 - 14 days.\r\n<h2>Step 6 - Evaluate</h2>\r\nAt the end of your 7 - 14 day period you will have an understanding as to what you really use and what you don\'t.  You will have pulled out items that you needed out of the box...is there anything in the space that you originally placed there that you really didn\'t need?  Now, there may be some items that are seasonal or are things that make you happy when you see them...this is a personal choice that you will need to think through.  The key is to get yourself to a point where you feel better about your space.  A place where your happiness levels are higher.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</article></section>','How to Regain Clarity with 6 Easy Declutter Steps','','inherit','closed','closed','','5470-revision-v1','','','2019-04-19 17:07:46','2019-04-19 17:07:46','',5470,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/5470-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7919,1,'2019-04-19 18:20:45','2019-04-19 18:20:45','When working with Clients I find decluttering is the hardest area for most to wrap their heads around.  It is the <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/organizational-roadmap\">organizational stage</a> that takes the longest and is the most emotional for people. I have identified that people make at least one decluttering mistake that is listed below when they embark on their organizational journey.  Lets see if you have done (or still do) any of these, so we can stop the cycle now:\r\n<h1>Decluttering Mistake #1 - Fearing the Unknown</h1>\r\nThere are many stories of people starting the decluttering process and finding long lost documents or even money/gift cards they had forgotten.  That is one reason I am not a fan of just picking a box up and throwing it away.  I know it many times can open an even bigger can of worms, but it can also be very eye opening and therapeutic for you to see what you have been lugging around for years or to see that item that you had all along but because you couldn’t find it, you had to rush order another one and so you ultimately spent $50 unnecessarily (i.e., lost birth certificate or passport).  It forces you to face the reality of your life head on.\r\n<h1>Decluttering Mistake #2 - Losing Sight of the Big Picture</h1>\r\nMany people see an inspiration photo on a blog or on pinterest and they immediately want to replicate this in their own space worrying about where they got the container or that set of curtains, instead of focusing on the need to go through their belongings and evaluating their system to see if that would work in their world/space.  I get inspiration from pinterest and blogs too and many times use them in my work with clients, but adaption is key...adapting to your reality, your life and to your space is important if you want to develop successful systems.\r\n<h1>Decluttering Mistake #3 - Getting Overwhelmed by Unimportant Details</h1>\r\nI like to encourage Clients to just start by sorting what they currently have.  Don’t focus on what you are getting rid of or what you can’t bear to part with, focus on putting like things together.  Sometimes just seeing the amount of items you have in a specific category will make it easier for you to rid yourself of the clutter.\r\n<h1>Decluttering Mistake #4 - Ignoring the Logical or Organic for the Popular</h1>\r\nWhere do you logically place things, where do you organically look for something when you need it…you know...that first place you go.  If you always go to the kitchen when you first come in the house, maybe that is the most logical place to create a landing pad for you to dump your pockets.  Maybe designate a cabinet or a basket where these items will go.  If you always charge your phone by your bed…create a charging station there for all your electronics.  What is typically in your pockets when you empty them and where do you usually do the emptying?  Create a pocket emptying station in this location be that the laundry room, where you place your keys or in your bedroom.  It may not make sense to others, but what matters is that it makes sense to you...and that will increase the likelihood of success.\r\n<h1>Decluttering Mistake #5 - Getting Stuck on One Item</h1>\r\nIn many situations there is that one item that the mere mention of getting rid of it creates tears and palpitations. Instead of trying to force the issue at the time, you have one of two choices…and read these carefully.  (1) place the item(s) in a box/container and seal it.  On the container put a big note that says if this seal hasn’t been broken as of (enter a date 6 mths - a year in the future) then discard it unopened.  This gives the person the mourning time with their belongings.  Sometimes it is just overwhelming for them to get rid of items all at one time, especially when they have an emotional tie to it.  (2) Give the item prominence in the home.  Take a photo of it and/or frame it.  Many times the idea of framing an item will put the reality into perspective.  Ask yourself, \"If I don’t want to display it or give it to someone then why am I keeping it?\"  (3) you could put a note on it that says until space is needed.  That way you know you either get rid of it or get rid of something else.  As much as I don’t like clutter, if you have room for the items and have that big of an attachment to it…don’t harp on it.  Press pause and come back to it at the end.  Celebrate the wins.  You never know by the time you get to the end, you may be ready to let it go.\r\n<h1>Decluttering Mistake # 6 - Getting Rid of Someone Else\'s Belongings</h1>\r\nThis is a big pet peeve of mine when I see the conversations on forums and groups.  Lets ignore the fact that this is unbelievably rude and focus on the fact that there is no way for you to know the status/purpose of everything that person is keeping.  Put yourself in that situation and think about how that would make you feel.  It wouldn\'t be nice at all.  It may drive you crazy that your spouse/teen won\'t get rid of their \"junk\", instead of making the decision for them, offer to work with them to help organize and or declutter it.  One recommendation I have is that you should start decluttering/organizing other areas of the space/home until there is nothing left.  Many times when a person starts seeing how it makes them feel to live in an organized space they will decide to do it on their own.  In some cases this won\'t happen and you may have to bring in an expert or determine if this is a battle worth fighting.  If it is an area that only they frequent, then let it be and move on.  Now, the only time I will abandon this rule is when you have children under the age of understanding.  I purposely didn\'t add an age here because each child has a different developmental calendar.  As early as possible, I would include them in regular declutter sessions so they get used to understanding what it is to get rid of things they no longer use or need.  Set up systems for them as well so they can easily make those decisions.  One way to help children of all ages is to give them limits.  Here are some that I have used in the past:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Oh you got five new toys so lets get rid of five;</li>\r\n 	<li>Your Birthday/Christmas is coming so lets see what you have outgrown (toys and clothes); or</li>\r\n 	<li>You used this when you were a baby, but you are my big girl/boy now!  Why don\'t we give it to [enter person or donation spot here] because they don\'t have anything like this...or you can use this space to put your [enter their favorite toy here].</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nNow that you know the 6 things to avoid, pick an area and jump in there.  Remember to take a before and after photo and share it with the THB family in our Facebook Group!  I would love to hear your story...and who knows you may get featured on our blog.\r\n\r\nIf you found this information helpful, please comment and let me know.  Make sure to join our Newsletter, so you don\'t miss our next post.  Until then, have a happy day!','6 Common Mistakes When Decluttering','','inherit','closed','closed','','3075-revision-v1','','','2019-04-19 18:20:45','2019-04-19 18:20:45','',3075,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/3075-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7920,1,'2019-04-19 20:22:48','2019-04-19 20:22:48','As you know by now I recently went on a trip to Vancouver, BC where the weather was expected to be rainy and between 45 and 55.  Needless to say, leaving 70 - 80 degree weather required me to make some changes fairly quickly.  Here is what I determined needed to go with me on the trip:\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/20121028-235926.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full \" title=\"All of the Items\" alt=\"20121028-235926.jpg\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/20121028-235926.jpg\" height=\"225\" width=\"300\" /></a>\n\n1 pair Rain boots\n1 pair Tennis shoes\n1 pair Dress Shoes\n1 pair Black Tennis Shoes\n1 pair warm PJs\n1 pair Jogging pants\n1 \"house\" t-shirt\n6 pairs socks/footies\n6 pairs underwear\n5 pairs of pants (3 jeans &amp;

Well, low and behold, I recently had the opportunity to do just that.  The 2012 Project Management Institute conference was in Vancouver this year and I decided when making my flight reservations that this would be the perfect opportunity to experience something new.\n\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/20121026-210520.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full\" alt=\"Photo Taken From Train\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/20121026-210520.jpg\" height=\"226\" width=\"300\" /></a> Photo Taken on Train from Vancouver, BC to Seattle, WA[/caption]\n\nI must admit that I was a little scared, because I had never ridden a passenger train before. In my normal fashion, when I am scared I plan and plan and plan.  Well, in my scared planning stage I began asking locals where the train station was so I would know how far I had to travel.  They began asking me questions like...is it the super fast train or the other train...well I said fast, thinking well it has to be fast right...ok ummmm wrong, they were referring to the rail or what we like to call the subway or monorail.  Sometimes, I really have to ask myself what my problem is lol.\n\nWell one thing you should know prior to travelling is that they only have two trains that go between Vancouver and Seattle, one early crack of the freaking dawn train and one evening train.  If your main purpose for riding is to see the sites, you have to take the \"crack of freaking dawn train\", mine left at 6:40 am and they suggest you get there an hour early (enter big blinking eyes here...while it sinks in).  The process at the train station was harmless and smooth.  You get right on the train and get situated.  I was pleased that there was free wi-fi on the train, although it does cut in and out since we are travelling, but it was no a problem.\n\nI can honestly say that this was one of the most relaxing trips I have had in a very long time.  I have always loved riding subways and rails in cities when I visited...being from Nashville, we don\'t have that luxury (unless you count the Nashville Star which doesn\'t even come to my side of town). It is so nice to not have to fight traffic and to just sit and ride and to work or read at your leisure during the trip. Thinking of my experience at airports...you rush to get there to get through security to sit and wait...to then load the plane...to then not use electronics...to then be able to use electronics in a cramped seat where you really don\'t want to get up because the aisle is cramped and you may have to dodge the beverage cart or other passengers due to the aisle being so small...and then you get off to get on another plane and then and then and then...on the train I got on, sat down and waited for the other passengers...there was no waiting before you boarded and for four hours I was able to work, read, eat, and relax...and enjoy the scenery.\n\nI was a little saddened that there was no snow as I had seen in my friends photos, but the scenery (as you can see from the photo above) was gorgeous.  I would suggest if you leave from Vancouver to get a seat on the right side of the train (left side if you are leaving from Seattle).  That is the side that faces the water and all the goregous scenery, the other side is against the rocks/mountain side so you see some nice things but not as much as on the other.  I would also suggest a seat in the middle of the window so you have the whole scene and don\'t have to move curtains out of your way.  There wasn\'t a huge difference to me between business and coach, but if you are big on that pay the extra money.\n\nSo take it from me...explore and try new things.  Have yourself a new adventure...come on you know you want to!\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent7.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1025\" title=\"The-Happiness-Bucket transparent\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent7.png?w=300\" height=\"125\" width=\"300\" /></a>','Experiencing New Things:  The Train','','inherit','closed','closed','','1249-revision-v1','','','2019-04-19 20:23:13','2019-04-19 20:23:13','',1249,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/1249-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7922,1,'2019-04-19 20:23:13','2019-04-19 20:23:13','I know many of you have been extremely distraught about my recent hiatus from posting.  Please dry your eyes because I’m back…I’m BAAAAAAACK!  I know it has been rough but I have been off gathering many exciting new blog topics!  I know you just can’t wait…you are about to pee on yourself because you just can’t wait.\n\nI will give you a little bit of a teaser…we have several posts about events and planning…weddings to be exact (big eyed look) and travel…throw in there, of course, are a few on organizing and decluttering.\n\nI have missed you and can’t wait to reconnect with each of you!\n\nSending you hearts in a bucket!\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent7.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1025\" title=\"The-Happiness-Bucket transparent\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent7.png?w=300\" height=\"125\" width=\"300\" /></a>','My Hiatus is OVER!','','inherit','closed','closed','','1252-revision-v1','','','2019-04-19 20:23:13','2019-04-19 20:23:13','',1252,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/1252-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7923,1,'2019-04-19 20:23:14','2019-04-19 20:23:14','Do you find that you are always busy, that you can\'t catch your breath, that there is always something that needs to be done? Well, if you do...congrats, welcome to the club of adulthood lol. I think most of us feel this way at some point in our lives, but the reality is you have the power to determine just how busy you really are.  Yes I know, but...  Ummmm but nothing you have the power.  See you were given the ability to choose, you are choosing to be in the state you are in at the moment.  If you really feel you are too busy do something about it.  First, learn to say no.  It may be hard the first time you hear the words come out of your mouth, and it may shock those who hear it from you the first time, but stick to your guns.  \n\nCome on practice saying it with me in a strong assertive voice...NO.  Secondly, determine what is really important...will someone die, literally, if you don\'t do it? Note, those declarations from your teenage children don\'t count as \"literal deaths\".  Will not doing some cause you legal problems or any health issues? Will not doing it or the alternative cause child protective services to come after you?

A common method I like to use is brainstorming or mindmapping.  Brainstorming can be done as an individual (mindmapping) or with a team.  It is similar to a brain dump of what needs to be done on the project.  Often when you begin writing out one thing or idea, it can triggers something else in your mind.\r\n\r\nFor teams, it is important that all members participate in this exercise so everyone has a voice. This also helps because participants can feed off one another to fill in the gaps. Everyone comes at issues and situations differently.  Having the different perspectives can help guide decisions and lead to better understanding of goals and needs\r\n<h1>Examples of Brainstorming and It\'s Benefits</h1>\r\nBrainstorming can be used in all types of scenarios in both our Business and Personal tracks.  it can be used for planning Events or Launches, organizing an office or space in your home, planning your garden or swapping systems, etc.\r\n\r\nOne great example of group brainstorming is setting up the kitchen after a big move.  In this scenario, most would think the cook would make the decision, but that is the worst thing you can do.  It\'s best to bring the entire family in to discuss how the kitchen and areas are used.  Who needs what and when.  What did you dislike about your old kitchen layout and can you improve on it in the new one.  This of course will change over time as people grow older (kids and adults).\r\n<blockquote>Your system may make sense to you, but because you are so close to it, often times we over complicate or forget things.  Multiple brains are always better than just one.</blockquote>\r\nAnother example of group brainstorming is planning a live event.  Thinking through all the pieces that come into play when you are planning an online event versus an in person event.  There are many moving parts, so it is important to think through and brainstorm out all those parts.  Many of these are dependent on others as well.  Knowing what those are can be helpful in developing your budget and timeline as well.\r\n<h1>Identifying your Project Boundaries</h1>\r\nOnce you have brainstormed things out you will be able to determine your must-haves. Your must haves are those things that regardless of anything else they have to be included.  I often call these needs.  Your wants or your like to haves are those things that would be great, but if you can\'t do it or if you run out of time they can be cut.  Finally, you will have your absolutely not\'s or your \"out of scope\" items.  These are things that you won\'t be including or doing with this project.\r\n\r\nAll of these categories are extremely important because it creates a playbook by which the team is working. Whenever there is doubt or confusion on a project, the team as a whole should refer back to the requirements document or project playbook or roadmap.  This will allow everyone to regroup and get back into the game. (Why am I all of a sudden giving all these sports analogies?).\r\n\r\nSo on your next project, take a little time and really think out what you are trying to accomplish.  Define not only your goals but your requirements for the project and how you plan to complete it.  This will save you a lot of time, money and headaches in the long run and will make it much more likely that you will have a successful project.','How to Develop A Requirements Document for Small Business and Personal Projects','','inherit','closed','closed','','5779-revision-v1','','','2019-04-22 21:20:53','2019-04-22 21:20:53','',5779,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/5779-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7927,1,'2019-04-23 16:32:48','2019-04-23 16:32:48','','Requirements Document | Dana LaRieal Morales','','inherit','open','closed','','wp-life-coach-810-x-500-6','','','2019-04-23 16:33:06','2019-04-23 16:33:06','',5779,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/WP-Life-Coach-810-x-500-6.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(7928,1,'2019-04-23 20:50:54','2019-04-23 20:50:54','<span class=\"\">When I sought Dana for help with getting my WordPress site functioning, I was overwhelmed and frustrated because I had been working on this project 5 months with no real traction.

A common method I like to use is brainstorming or mindmapping.  Brainstorming can be done as an individual (mindmapping) or with a team.  It is similar to a brain dump of what needs to be done on the project.  Often when you begin writing out one thing or idea, it can trigger something else in your mind.\r\n\r\nFor teams, it is important that all members participate in this exercise so everyone has a voice. This also helps because participants can feed off one another to fill in the gaps. Everyone comes at issues and situations differently.  Having the different perspectives can help guide decisions and lead to better understanding of goals and needs\r\n<h1>Examples of Brainstorming and It\'s Benefits</h1>\r\nBrainstorming can be used in all types of scenarios in both our Business and Personal tracks.  it can be used for planning Events or Launches, organizing an office or space in your home, planning your garden or swapping systems, etc.\r\n\r\nOne great example of group brainstorming is setting up the kitchen after a big move.  In this scenario, most would think the cook would make the decision, but that is the worst thing you can do.  It\'s best to bring the entire family in to discuss how the kitchen and areas are used.  Who needs what and when.  What did you dislike about your old kitchen layout and can you improve on it in the new one.  This of course will change over time as people grow older (kids and adults).\r\n<blockquote>Your system may make sense to you, but because you are so close to it, often times we over complicate or forget things.  Multiple brains are always better than just one. -Dana LaRieal Morales</blockquote>\r\nAnother example of group brainstorming is planning a live event.  Thinking through all the pieces that come into play when you are planning an online event versus an in person event.  There are many moving parts, so it is important to think through and brainstorm out all those parts.  Many of these are dependent on others as well.  Knowing what those are can be helpful in developing your budget and timeline as well.\r\n<h1>Identifying your Project Boundaries</h1>\r\nOnce you have brainstormed things out you will be able to determine your must-haves. Your must haves are those things that regardless of anything else they have to be included.  I often call these needs.  Your wants or your like to haves are those things that would be great, but if you can\'t do it or if you run out of time (or money) they can be cut.  Finally, you will have your absolutely not\'s or your \"out of scope\" items.  These are things that you won\'t be including or doing with this project.\r\n\r\nAll of these categories are extremely important because it creates a playbook by which the team is working. Whenever there is doubt or confusion on a project, the team as a whole should refer back to the requirements document or project playbook or roadmap.  This will allow everyone to regroup and get back into the game. (Why am I all of a sudden giving all these sports analogies?).\r\n\r\nSo on your next project, take a little time and really think out what you are trying to accomplish.  Define not only your goals but your requirements for the project and how you plan to complete it.  This will save you a lot of time, money and headaches in the long run and will make it much more likely that you will have a successful project.','How to Develop A Requirements Document for Small Business and Personal Projects','','inherit','closed','closed','','5779-revision-v1','','','2019-04-24 18:43:11','2019-04-24 18:43:11','',5779,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/5779-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7935,560,'2019-04-24 18:54:05','2019-04-24 18:54:05','<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let’s talk electronic bill pay.  This is something that has been around since the mid 90s, but I know many of you still don’t take advantage of it.  I honestly can’t tell you when I swapped from writing checks to paying electronically through my bank, but I can tell you I now pay all but one thing via electronic bill pay and that is our tithes to the church…although I could do that electronically, I just like having something to physically put in the collection plate each Sunday.</p>\nThe reason I am broaching this subject is because bills and the papers produced by them create a mountain of unnecessary paper in your home.  Add to that paper checks, boxes of checks, bank statements, etc. and you have a ton of paper and processes that can easily be eliminated.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h1><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Setup Your Payee Accounts</span></h1>\nI set up all of the companies/Individuals I pay as payee accounts in my online bank account.  All you need is the bill or payee information in front of you to do this.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_3700\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"364\"]<a href=\"https://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/boa.jpg\"><img class=\" wp-image-3700\" src=\"https://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/boa.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Bank of America Manage Pay to Accounts area (Note: Your bank\'s area may look different)\" width=\"364\" height=\"147\" /></a> Bank of America Manage Pay to Accounts area (Note: Your bank\'s area may look different)[/caption]\n\nYou can actually stop here in the process and decide that every time you need to pay a bill you will just go online and “schedule a payment”.  If you choose to do this, just open your bill get the amount, go to your bill pay area of your bank website and enter the amount and date to pay.  Most banks have a two day processing time, so make sure to keep that in mind when scheduling the payment.\n<h1 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Setup Reoccurring Payments</span></h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I choose to set all of my bills as reoccurring payments unless it isn’t something that comes regularly or the change in amount is too drastic (i.e., credit card - we don’t ever have a set amount because we try to pay it off each month).  Now, for those things that often change, but the change isn\'t drastic like our electric, gas and water bills, I put in an average amount as the reoccurring payment.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Note:  The two steps above theoretically only have to be done once, unless you are adding a new payee account or changing your reoccurring payment.</em></p>\n\n<h1 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Review Your Account </span></h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When the bill comes in each month, I look at the amount of the bill and the amount in my bill pay area, if they are different I update it with the correct amount for that payment.  This step literally takes me 5 - 10 mins, if that, twice a month (my routine is to go into my account twice a month to schedule payments, but sometimes I’m feeling froggy and I schedule them as soon as I get the bill. It usually depends on if I\'m at the computer/phone or not at the time I open the bill, whether electronic or hard-copy)  You can set your own schedule based on your <a href=\"https://thechangeacademy.thinkific.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">monthly budget</a>.</p>\n\n<h1>Benefits of Electronic Bill Pay</h1>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are a number of benefits to using electronic bill pay.  Here are just a few that I have noted over time:</span>\n<ul>\n 	<li>I never miss a due date.  Life happens and sometimes you just get busy and a bill accidentally gets misplaced between the mailbox and your hands.  The way I have guesstimated my utilities they are more often on the high side, so I get a small credit on the next bill if I don\'t go in and change it in time;</li>\n 	<li>It is much easier than pulling out the checkbook and/or going to the location to pay in person;</li>\n 	<li>It eliminates the need to have a bill pay center in your home;</li>\n 	<li>It eliminates the need for postage;</li>\n 	<li>It eliminates or reduces the need for physical bill files - for utility type accounts or other monthly accounts that you pay in full, I only have one file.  I keep one month of each bill.  As soon as I get the next bill that shows the amount was paid in full, I discard the previous month, which eliminates the need to keep a separate file for each bill;</li>\n 	<li>Historical information is kept online, so no need to keep the physical paper and if you absolutely must have the information you can download and save the electronic copy of your payment history and/or bank statement;</li>\n 	<li>You get discounts when you receive your bank statement online and/or for some banks you get a perk when you activate online bill pay; and</li>\n 	<li>The information feeds into most personal/business accounting software systems like Mint</li>\n</ul>\n<h1>Lets Discuss Your Concerns</h1>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>What if I\'m barely making ends meet?</strong></span></h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So let\'s evaluate this for a minute because it is a valid concern.  If you are living paycheck to paycheck, I would suggest scheduling all the \"have to pay\" items, I discussed in the <a href=\"https://thechangeacademy.thinkific.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">budgeting course</a>, through your bank so you ensure they are paid on time and you don\'t incur late fees.  In my example, I get paid twice a month - the last day of the month and the 15th.  All of our bills are scheduled to come out around those two dates.  Even if the bill is due on the 25th I pay it on the 16th.  That way I know once those are paid how much money is left for the rest of that two week period.  If your due date is in the middle of that time frame, see if you can get it changed and/or pay it early.  There are a number of factors that need to be considered in this situation, but the first step is completing your budget so you know when and how you need to pay your bills.  This will allow you to compare when bills are due versus when the money will be in the account.  If you still need help after completing the <a href=\"https://thechangeacademy.thinkific.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free budgeting course</a>, I recommend, <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/lifeorganization/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scheduling a coaching session</a> with me to discuss your individual needs.</p>\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>What about direct debit?</strong></span></h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, I much prefer electronic bill pay through your bank over the direct debit system.  There is just something about companies having access to my checking account that I don\'t like.  I\'d rather an issue be on my end than on a computer or another person\'s end.  I\'ve had a situation where the person entered the information erroneously and debited my account twice in one month.  I understand mistakes, but if I had been struggling or living pay check to pay check that would have caused a ton of problems.  That being said, I do have a few of those set up because there was no other option offered (insurance/student loans).</p>\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>What about security?</strong></span></h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With all of the system hacks companies are experiencing these days I can understand why you may be concerned with banking online.  I can tell you that they adhere to a pretty stringent security standard and I have never felt compromised when it came to online banking.  Also, banks are FDIC insured so your money is protected (up to $250,000).   I would say if you are concerned to contact your bank and discuss how they protect your online data and your account.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All in all, you can decide what method of online payment you want to test out, scheduled payments or reoccurring payments.  It is just one more way you can eliminate clutter in your home, streamline and better manage the bill paying process and set up a system to better control and organize your life.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you

I recall us having a conversation one day and she asked me in frustration, \"why do you always say that!!!\" I explained, \"well mom the reality is I can\'t change it. To stress over it isn\'t going to help, it is still going to be what it is. Sooooo it is what it is...I just choose not to stress about it.\"\r\n\r\nI went on to explain that no wedding was ever perfect and I refused to focus so much on the details that I missed the overall purpose of the day.

Some family members wouldn\'t sit where I assigned them.  My dress wasn\'t on properly, and none of that changed that it was one of the happiest days of my life...in fact those things added to my story.\r\n<h1>Converting The Unbeliever</h1>\r\nWell, fast forward two years later and guess who has come over to the dark side? Yep you guessed it, my wonderful mother. I remember the first time I heard her say it, I was so shocked but it gave me so much joy.  I realized she had finally let go and learned how to stop worrying about everything.\r\n\r\nI used the situation of my wedding and this motto to show you that we are all faced with situations that are not of our liking.  They have the potential to define who and what we are.  You just have to decide if you are going to let it control your life.\r\n<h1>Life Things We Can\'t Control</h1>\r\nHow many times have you been faced with a situation that was or could have been life changing? How did you handle it? I won\'t say I\'ve always handled it perfectly. I mean come on I have panic moments and freakouts like the best of them.  That being said, I regularly try to bring myself back to think about what is really important.  What is God trying to tell me with this situation?\r\n\r\nIt isn\'t always easy BELIEVE ME!!!! but it is comforting to just sit back and focus on that discussion with God. More times than not He does give me an answer pretty quickly to my question. It may not be the same day but if I\'m patient and open to Him, I do get an answer.\r\n\r\nSo, recently I received a link to a video and I just had to share it because we all struggle with the question of why didn\'t this happen or why did this happen. I encourage you to not focus so much on that...but realize, it is what it is and you have a choice to determine if you are going to let it define who you are or are you going to determine who you are. It\'s your choice...what are you going to do?\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/c62Aqdlzvqk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\r\n&nbsp;','Learning to Accept The Things We Can\'t Control','','inherit','closed','closed','','2436-revision-v1','','','2019-05-16 19:34:55','2019-05-16 19:34:55','',2436,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/2436-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7949,1,'2019-05-17 21:15:14','2019-05-17 21:15:14','http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/cropped-The-Happiness-Bucket-Logo-150-x-150-1.png','cropped-The-Happiness-Bucket-Logo-150-x-150-1.png','','inherit','open','closed','','cropped-the-happiness-bucket-logo-150-x-150-1-png','','','2019-05-17 21:15:14','2019-05-17 21:15:14','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/cropped-The-Happiness-Bucket-Logo-150-x-150-1.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(7951,1,'2019-05-17 21:17:35','2019-05-17 21:17:35','','THB Mark','','inherit','open','closed','','thb-hdlogomark2000x1861','','','2019-05-17 21:17:59','2019-05-17 21:17:59','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/THB-HDLogoMark2000x1861.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(7952,1,'2019-05-17 21:52:57','2019-05-17 21:52:57','I think many of you can relate to me when I say that during October, life got away from me. I was so extremely busy that I didn\'t complete very many projects around the house. Well, I\'m back in the grind now. Things are getting back to normal and all those things I neglected are now back in my sights. Clutter and unorganized spaces beware!\r\n\r\nI started my re-entry into my Decluttering world by collecting all my receipts from various projects and day to day activities. In doing some research on the best method/process for storing receipts until I am ready to deal with them, I ran across a post by <a title=\"Organized Receipts\" href=\"http://www.simplyorganized.me/2012/10/organized-receipts.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Simply Organized</a> who created a receipt box.  I also ran across another blogger who used a small expandable file to collect all her receipts (can\'t remember her name but will add later if I do).  Both of these ladies separated their receipts by store or purpose... How perfect is that? I often need to find a specific receipt and in my previous system I\'d have to hunt through them all to find the one I needed which was inevitably at the back.\r\n\r\nI lucked up because I had an old expandable in the house that wasn\'t being used. The velcro was a little skewed but since it is probably 10 - 15 years old I won\'t complain lol. Talk about recycling an item!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/20121104-232543.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/20121104-232543.jpg\" alt=\"20121104-232543.jpg\" /></a>\r\n\r\nI sorted the receipts I had readily available to determine what categories I needed. I then created categories for the items represented and also for some of the most common stores I frequent and a few projects I have. I ended up filling every slot.\r\n\r\nMy life of receipts is so organized now! The good thing is I can add the store items to my price book easily as time permits and I have them all readily available. Woo hoo order is restored....well for one thing that is.... But hey we conquer clutter one thing at a time.\r\n\r\nOn to the next clutter corner...my to do box.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent7.png\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1025\" title=\"The-Happiness-Bucket transparent\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent7.png?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" /></a>','Restoring Order by Battling Paper Clutter','','inherit','closed','closed','','1412-revision-v1','','','2019-05-17 21:52:57','2019-05-17 21:52:57','',1412,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/1412-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(7953,1,'2019-05-17 21:53:25','2019-05-17 21:53:25','Take about 20 minutes to conduct a self evaluation by listing out what you see as being the good and the bad things about yourself. These are your own thoughts and beliefs, you don\'t have to take anyone else\'s opinions into account. This is a time to be honest with yourself and just free flow your thoughts. The purpose of this list is to be honest with yourself and to really find out how you feel about yourself.  We often want others to treat us a certain way, yet we don\'t do that ourselves.  In fact, we are often our own worst and hardest critic.\r\n<h1>The Review Process</h1>\r\nNow that you have your list, I want you to review it.  Identify how many good things you have an how many \"bad\" things you have.  Then place them in priority order.  Determine of those things how you can improve, change, or resolve them.  The important thing for you to realize during this exercise is that you can only fix or change yourself...no one else can.\r\n\r\nThis will help you see if you are truly happy.  Are you reaching your fullest potential?

Do you have a family budget?  When was the last time you conducted an evaluation of your spending? I know, I know it can be scary but ignoring it won’t change anything if there is a problem, it will only make it worse. So, here at THB I want to get focused on fixing the issues and not ignoring them. True happiness lies in reality and I am hoping to help you get there, by learning how to budget.\r\n\r\nNow, to get started you really need to evaluate the situation at hand. How can you fix something if you don’t know what the problem is…so let’s break it down. Recently, I was watching an episode of “Til Debt Do Us Part” which airs on CNBC. (This show evaluates a couple/family’s spending habits and assists them in identifying the problem and developing a plan on how to fix it. I encourage anyone who is able to watch the show to do so…there are a lot of great tips in it.) On this particular episode they showed Gail Vaz-Oxlade\'s debt wheel which broke down how much she feels you should typically be spending in each category.  She broke it down as follows:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Savings = 10%</li>\r\n 	<li>Transportation - 15%</li>\r\n 	<li>Life = 25%</li>\r\n 	<li>Debt = 15%</li>\r\n 	<li>Housing = 35%</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe task for you is to take last month’s spending and break it down into these five major categories. Once you do that, you should break each of those down even further to see how it is actually being spent (grocery, retail shopping, entertainment, restaurants, etc.). I believe that a lot of what most households spend will fall in the life and debt category, but I wonder where you will be.\r\n\r\nOnce you have it broken down develop a budget and a plan for this month.  Determine how you will be working to get those areas closer to these percentages above. You can also use <a title=\"Gail\'s Interactive Budget Worksheet\" href=\"http://www.gailvazoxlade.com/resources/interactive_budget_worksheet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gail\'s interactive budget worksheet.</a>\r\n\r\nEveryone, no matter your age, can make adjustments in your life spending. I too will be revising my family\'s budget.  I will share some of the ways my family is working to get our percentages in line with those above.  I also have a <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/resources/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free budget 101 </a>course that you may want to take to help identify where your money is truly going and how to learn how to budget for the future.\r\n\r\nSo let me know…what are your goals and plans as it relates to your finances?  Were you shocked at your overall percentage breakdown?\r\n\r\nMake sure to share any tips you have for staying out of or battling debt in our <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/groups/changeacademy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">THB Change Academy Facebook Group</a>.\r\n\r\nI look forward to hearing from you!','Til Debt Do Us Part - Learn How to Budget (Business)','','inherit','closed','closed','','7859-revision-v1','','','2019-07-27 05:15:25','2019-07-27 05:15:25','',7859,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/7859-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(8078,1,'2019-07-27 05:15:25','2019-07-27 05:15:25','We all need to get things done. There are so many things to do that we often lose track of what they are.  You begin to look over your various lists and get overwhelmed by everything.  You start to think about one thing you need to handle and then another pops up in your head.\r\n\r\nThings start to get lost on your lists, deadlines are missed and you are right back where you started.  Forgetting important things that need to get done and skipping over others.\r\n<h1>Use An AIR Log To Get Things Done</h1>\r\nI recommend you use a master list to keep track of your things you need to do, which I call an AIR Log.  An AIR log is a master list of action items, issue items and risks that help you keep track of everything that needs to be done on a project.  Then you can use a subset of this list \"Daily Priority List\" to segment out top priority items for the day or the week.\r\n\r\nAn AIR Log allows you to get things out of your head and onto a master list.  It frees up your mental space to focus on the tasks that you really need to get done.\r\n<h1>Setup Your AIR Log to Get Things Done</h1>\r\nNow the first thing you need is your spreadsheet app of choice (i.e., excel).  You can always use paper or other tools, but I find having an electronic grid format works best. I\'ll explain further why below.  <strong>[<a href=\"https://pages.convertkit.com/5b78902eef/ed9c814881\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here to get your copy of the AIR Log template</a>]</strong>\r\n<h2>Setup Your Main Columns</h2>\r\nIt\'s now time to setup your main columns in your sheet.  I want you to add the columns that make sense for your environment. These, however, are the ones I typically use and ultimately recommend:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Name of the task</span> - A high-level summary of the task.  Something you can glance over and know what it is.</li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Description of the task</span> - Provides as much detail as needed to complete the task at hand.</li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Priority of the task</span> - Helps you segment the list based on high, average or low priority (or whatever priority you choose to set)</li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Category of the task</span> - Allows you to segment based on the type of task it is.  You identify the type of projects you have going on (i.e., house, personal, website, social media, course, etc.)</li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Person Assigned</span> - This is an optional field, but if this is for a team or group of people it is always great to know who is handling the task.  It should be the point person responsible for the overall status, not necessarily who is going to be doing the physical work.  If you are the only person using this list then you could eliminate this column.</li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Due date</span> - This is task specific and helps you prioritize your work.  It is recommended that you set this for your subset list, but on your AIR log you may not have a due date.</li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Status</span> - Signifies if your task is done or not.  There are different statuses that can be used, but the most common are not started, in progress, on hold and completed.  If tasks are related to software, you might add an enhancement request, issue status or training status as well.</li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Notes/comments</span> - Capture any additional information that is needed.  If you have supplemental information, a link or direction on where to find something that needs to be used to complete the task then enter that information here.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[convertkit form=898352]\r\n<h1>How to Pick Your Subset List</h1>\r\nNow that you have your master list, you can create your own system for picking which tasks will get done.  You can sort or filter by category, due date and/or priority to see what pops up to the top of your list.\r\n\r\nThis is one of the main reasons I recommend putting the list in an electronic spreadsheet. It provides you the ability to sort or filter your list based on what you are working on.  Maybe today you are focused on your personal development.  If you filter your list by that category you can see what all needs to be done and batch your work.\r\n\r\nIt makes your overall selection process easier and really focuses your work.\r\n<h1>How to Use Extra and Small Segments of Time</h1>\r\nFor some, you might finish your subset task list and have additional time to work.  If that\'s the case, you can review your master list and select other things that need to get done.  I also love doing this when I have small pockets of wait time.  By planning ahead you can ensure you have everything you need with you to accomplish tasks while you wait.\r\n\r\nThe way I plan ahead is to look at my list at the beginning of the week or day.  Then, I pick items from my AIR Log that can be completed in small spurts of time.  I also ensure I have the necessary items with me, during the week, to complete each of the items.\r\n\r\nMake sure to pick up your <a href=\"https://pages.convertkit.com/5b78902eef/ed9c814881\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AIR log template</a>.

Do you try to force it, find another or adapt the one you have?\r\n\r\nI find so many people trying to force systems and processes into their environment that don\'t work for their lifestyle because \"everyone is doing it\" or this guru or that one said you had to do it.  Listen, people, it isn\'t a good system for you if it doesn\'t work for you!\r\n<h1>One Tip That Doesn\'t Work For Me</h1>\r\nSo here\'s an example of an organizing tip that just doesn\'t work for me. For years and years, I have heard the advice of using the reverse hanger tip to aid in decluttering.  Now, this is not to discount any other organizers in the world who have suggested this, but here at THB we are about real life inspiration and discovery and in my personal world I discovered long ago that the reversed hanger tip does not work for me.\r\n\r\nThe premise, for those of you that don’t know, is that you turn all the clothes in your closet backward (hanger hook facing out instead of in) at the beginning of a season. As you wear your clothes you will hang them facing the normal way. At the end of the season, you are supposed to evaluate and remove any items that are still facing the original backward direction. The thought is if you didn’t wear it all season you don’t need it.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/hangers.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2682\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/hangers.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"hangers\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow, in theory, this is a great idea, however, in my world, it goes a little something like this.\r\n\r\nI enter my closet to determine what I want to wear for the day. I pick one thing…it doesn’t work…it sometimes gets hung on the door and other times it gets thrown into a pile. Very rarely does it get hung instantly back on the rod and when it does I am usually in such a hurry that it goes in facing the normal way.\r\n<h1>Be Honest With Yourself</h1>\r\nHey, I’m being honest and that is what it is all about, being honest with yourself. If an organizing or process development tip doesn’t work for you, don’t use it or adapt it for your lifestyle. Find something that does work for you and your family and make it happen.\r\n\r\nFor me, I would rather just pick a day or two each season to go through my closet using my homegrown process that <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/resources/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">you can check out here</a>.\r\n\r\nFor those who have the discipline to follow the backward hanger tip, by all means, use it. It is an easy way to evaluate your use or non-use of an item, but if it doesn\'t find something else that does.\r\n<h1>Allowing Fear to Stop You</h1>\r\nNow that you understand all process and organizing tips aren\'t for you, I want to address fear.  The fear of trying something new.  Many of us have the, what if it doesn\'t work syndrome.  We are afraid to try out of fear we will fail.  Listen, what is the worst that can happen?  You implement a new process and the result isn\'t what you had hoped for.  Ok review and adapt.  Figure out what worked and what didn\'t, adapt it and try again.\r\n\r\nEach time you review your processes you will have less frustration because you will continue to identify and adapt processes that work.\r\n\r\nFor those of you who don\'t have a process or regularly find that what you are trying isn\'t working.  I recommend you start your journey with my <a href=\"https://thechangeacademy.thinkific.com/courses/organizational-roadmap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">organizational roadmap</a> because it will guide you through the proper order of process and organizational implementation.  Most people implement processes and organize out of order, which is why things aren\'t working.  They don\'t account for life transitions either, which have a huge impact on the success and failure rates of any system.\r\n\r\nI hope this help to reassure you that you aren\'t alone and encouraged you to find a system that works for you and your lifestyle.  Now, what other tips have you received/heard about that just didn’t work for you, your business or your family and why?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','When Organizing Tips Don\'t Work','','inherit','closed','closed','','2619-revision-v1','','','2019-07-27 05:15:25','2019-07-27 05:15:25','',2619,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/2619-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(8080,1,'2019-07-27 05:15:26','2019-07-27 05:15:26','<iframe title=\"Meal Planning Tips - Cooking in bulk to save money\" width=\"810\" height=\"456\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/CNwQh9V-Tls?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen></iframe>','','','publish','closed','closed','','7c611b0e50147a1f6f1ce2a2f49b71cc','','','2019-07-27 05:15:26','2019-07-27 05:15:26','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/7c611b0e50147a1f6f1ce2a2f49b71cc/',0,'oembed_cache','',0),(8081,1,'2019-07-27 05:15:26','2019-07-27 05:15:26','In observing and working with small businesses, I have found that many are missing some basic business processes.  These omissions can be detrimental to their success as a business and a business owner. Now, I know many of us learn on the job, but there are a few business processes that are important for you to get right, straight out the gate.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-7570 alignleft\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-proactive-business-processes-200x300.png\" alt=\"5 proactive business processes for small businesses | The Happiness Bucket\" width=\"323\" height=\"485\" />\r\n\r\nIf you find you need to resolve a number of these areas in your business don\'t worry. Business processes aren’t necessarily a small business owner’s specialty, your craft is.  The good thing is it is my specialty and I’m gonna help you through it all.\r\n\r\nBy making a few of these small changes in your processes, you can go from being a reactive business to a proactive one. Driving potential customers to your product or service, instead of to your competitors.\r\n\r\nSo lets get into these 5 business process tips:\r\n<h1>Anticipate Your Customer’s Needs</h1>\r\nWhen you are creating processes in your business, you should do so by anticipating your customer’s needs, before they even know they need it.\r\n\r\nFirst, you should identify who your target market or ideal customer is and what types of questions they typically ask. This will help you identify the answers to those questions ahead of time, so they don\'t have to ask. Take for example you are a website developer.\r\n\r\nLets assume you are working with a Client who has never participated in a website development project. You may need to hold your client\'s hand so they understand the process from start to finish. If you are working with a customer who has had a website developed before, they will have a different understanding of the process. Your experience with them may be on a more technical level. Additionally, the development of a small website is different from a large website.\r\n\r\nYou also have to use your emotional intelligence to pickup on the things that aren\'t said. If you are explaining a concept and there are confused faces in the room, this may be a sign.  Your explanation may need to be more basic. You also might need to approach it from a different direction so your customer understands. The truth is that many times customers don\'t know what they don\'t know.\r\n\r\nIdentify the areas of angst or problems that you typically have with customers and ensure your Client fully understands them. Don\'t be afraid to explain it back to them or to ask them to put it into their own words. Sometimes you may think the Client understands, but when they explain their understanding of the concept or process isn\'t accurate.\r\n\r\nBy taking this small step, it makes your customers feel understood, supported and safe doing business with you.\r\n<h1>Create Business Policies</h1>\r\nMany customers want to know their risk level upfront before they commit to doing business with you. Think about the things you want to put into place to protect not only your business, but your customers too. What things would you want to know about a company if you were the customer? Ensure you have those same policies and guidelines in place.\r\n\r\nAnother good way to identify your necessary or missing policies is to think about all the things you liked or didn\'t like about your last experience as a customer.  What about during your last failed engagement with a Client, where was the confusion? What areas do you feel could have been clarified at the beginning of the engagement?\r\n\r\nIn most cases, policies are presented during the contract signing process. I encourage you to consider providing them to your customer as early as possible during the wooing period. It reaffirms the know, trust and like factor.  The company that is more forthcoming regarding their policies, is often more likely to gain the business.\r\n<h1>A Real Life Example - Chick-Fil-A</h1>\r\nAn example of this concept is Chic-fil-a. Their policies are well known and they have nothing to do with what they are selling. Most of their customers know they are closed on Sunday and why.\r\n\r\nAs a customer, you know that their employees respond with, \"my pleasure\" when you are being served and it is delivered in a way that you truly believe it is their pleasure. They also play Christian music in their restaurants. These policies aren\'t liked by everyone, but if you want their product you understand that these are the restaurant\'s policies. You can choose to frequent them or not.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>\r\nThis leads me to another area where you can anticipate need, which is by having a frequently asked questions (FAQ) list. You can easily build this list from the questions people regularly ask. You can choose where you provide access to this information, it may be once a person shows interest in your service/product that you provide it to them, or you may just list it on your website for easy access. I find this usually depends on your industry and whether or not you provide a service or a product. I personally don’t think there is a right or wrong answer, just do what works best for you and makes you and your customer feel comfortable.\r\n\r\nAgain, think through your last experience as a customer and gleam from that. What were your steps to selecting the vendor you did? Did you research them or approach them with a list of questions? Now, go through a mock session as your Client (or better yet get a person who can serve as your Client to walk through your process) and identify where there are holes that you can fill with a FAQ.\r\n<h2>Identify Customer Requirements</h2>\r\nPlace yourself in the position of your customer and try to think through the expectation or requirements they may have for your service or product. A landscaper needs a customer to make specific decisions or provide specific information. This information will help them complete the job as expected by the customer. For example, how low do you want the grass cut, are there restrictions in your neighborhood, how often should you come, etc. By obtaining this information ahead of time, it sets the expectations and the requirements for the job. Creating customer information forms or questionnaires can help identify and capture these requirements from the customer.\r\n\r\nAnother thing you have to be careful of is not assuming all customers are the same. Meaning that once the form or questionnaire is completed, that you actually review and discuss it with them to ensure you are interpreting their responses correctly. You also want to ensure the customer signs off on the summary of requirements before you begin work and identify how changes to the requirements will be handled.\r\n<h2>Quality Assurance</h2>\r\nThis is an area that is often missed. Testing and looking for quality within your product or service is critical for retaining clients. You should test your processes in both a controlled and uncontrolled environment. Walk through your processes as though you are your ideal customer, to ensure you have thought through all the possible scenarios (or the top three) that could come up. Once you feel comfortable with your processes, have someone else walk through it without your assistance to see if they notice anything that isn’t right or to see if they have any questions about the process.\r\n\r\nYou should also build in quality checks periodically even though your underlying process may not have changed. This is because platforms change all the time, and it may affect your process without you even knowing it. An example of this is when social media sites update their platforms. They change image sizes, algorithms and where things are located. If you aren\'t doing periodic checks you may be directing potential clients one way only for that way not to be working any longer.\r\n\r\nIn Summary, you can\'t always anticipate everything in your business, but you can do some preventive maintenance on your business processes so you are 90% proactive and 10% reactive. If you follow these five easy steps you will make your potential Client\'s experience an enjoyable one which will increase the likelihood that they will become Clients and that you will be able to retain their business.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDana is a Holistic Organizer, Certified Project Manager and Life Coach in Nashville, TN.  Join the <a href=\"https://app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/247793?v=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">Happiness Deposits</a> newsletter for more organizing tips related to space, life, soul and business.','5 Proactive Business Processes All Small Businesses Should Implement','','inherit','closed','closed','','7501-revision-v1','','','2019-07-27 05:15:26','2019-07-27 05:15:26','',7501,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/7501-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(8082,1,'2019-07-27 05:15:26','2019-07-27 05:15:26','How many days have you walked into work already frazzled from the crazy traffic or having a hectic morning leaving the house? What about those days when you discover something was due or there was a meeting that you forgot about? We all have these things that come up, but by instituting these 10 daily tips you can ensure your day will be more organized enabling you to handle these inevitable unknowns with grace and less stress.\r\n<h2>Identifying the Productive Part of Your Day</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-7569\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Ensure-Your-Day-200x300.png\" alt=\"Ensure Your Day will be organized and less stressful | The Happiness Bucket\" width=\"345\" height=\"519\" />\r\n\r\nOne way to be more organized is to determine your most productive part of the day.  Once you do you want to schedule your important project work and meetings during this time. I have known for years that I am not a morning person. It takes me a while for my engine to start running at full capacity. Knowing this I try not to schedule any meetings or important tasks on my calendar before 10 am. This ensures those things get the best part of me. Your high peak time may be different, and that\'s okay, just identify when that time is and make it known. Use your low peak times to complete more repetitive or administrative tasks that require limited focus.\r\n<h2>Set Specific Times to Check Email Each Day</h2>\r\nI know in this electronic age this is taboo for some of you. I heard the collective gasp of dismay, but I encourage you to try it. Remember this is all about being more organized.\r\n\r\nThe pattern I follow is that I check mail during my least productive time of the day (early morning), before lunch and after lunch and then before I leave for the day. I am not shy about letting people know this either. The rule is if it is important...call me. Outside of those times, I am able to focus on the task at hand instead of playing find the latest email in my inbox.\r\n<h2>Turn Off Sound Notifications</h2>\r\nSounds are extremely intrusive, especially when they are coming from your computer or your phone. My number one tip to be more organized is to turn off the notifications for emails and texts on your computer and cell phone.  I do this specifically while I am in the office and/or working on major tasks.\r\n\r\nThis is by far one of the biggest productivity killers because it keeps you from being present. For iPhone users (I\'m not sure about other phones), you could consider turning on the do not disturb feature, which will help limit distractions when you are working on a major task (Note: You can set rules for favorite numbers so you can get calls from specific people or if there is an emergency).\r\n\r\nFor those of you who find the idea of silencing your phone hard, try getting it out of your line of sight. Put it in your coat pocket, bag or purse so you aren\'t constantly checking it.\r\n<h2>Turn Off Popup Notifications</h2>\r\nAre you seeing a theme here? We are eliminating those habit forming distractions that prevent us from being more organized.\r\n\r\nOk so, you know that big box that pops up telling you that you have mail. This is a productivity killer! Unless you are expecting an important email, there is no need for this popup to be activated. If you are an email watcher I would encourage you to even turn off the small little email and/or chime that appears in your toolbar when new mail arrives.\r\n\r\nBy following the second step above you will not miss anything.  Encourage people to only email you with non-emergency items and to call you if there is something that needs your attention right away.\r\n<h2>Close Social Media, Streaming and other Websites</h2>\r\nThese are also high ranking productivity killers. You say oh I’ll just listen to the game or the commentary while I do XYZ, but really you are splitting your focus. There is no way to fully focus on a task if you have part of your brain focused on what Mike Greenberg said on SportsCenter. I won\'t even get into how easy it is to waste time when making a \"quick post\" on social media. Unless your job is to monitor these things, I recommend saving it for lunch or after hours.\r\n<h2>Remove Clutter from your Workspace</h2>\r\nAll the extra trinkets and things on your desk take up space physically, mentally and visually. I know you want to personalize your desk…and that is fine. However, if you want to be more organized and productive, don’t go overboard. If you must have them, place them in areas that are the least distracting and don’t take up precious real estate on the workspace of your desk.\r\n\r\nDon\'t over complicate clutter removal. Start on one side of your desk and work your way across removing anything you don\'t need to do your job. In your direct line of sight you should keep it to one personal item in each direction you look at the most (on the left, in the front and to the right). If you have a lot of photos or other mementos, consider placing them behind you or above your line of sight. This requires you to really focus on looking at them versus them taking up your visual space at all times.\r\n<h2>Designate Daily Key Tasks</h2>\r\nEach day, pick three to four key tasks that you must complete. I would recommend two big ones and two small unless you know the big one will take a long time. This ensures you have forward momentum in your day because we all know there is nothing like marking something off your list. If you finish all four tasks before the day ends, you can always add on more.\r\n<h2>End Your Day With a Clean Desk/Space</h2>\r\nYou should always close out your day by cleaning/straightening your space and desk. This allows you to not only reflect on what you were able to accomplish for the day but also to make a high-level plan for the next day. It also creates an environment of creativity for the following work day. When you come in you will be ready to hit the ground running, even if you are only checking emails.\r\n<h2>Start and End Your Day With a Planning Period</h2>\r\nI like to do mine at the end of the day and then revisit it at the beginning of the day. This planning period allows me to process what tasks need to be done next. I can also prep my desk for the next day as recommended above. When I come in, I review my plan one more time to ensure nothing has changed. This allows me to be more organized and productive because I know exactly where to begin on the following day.\r\n<h2>Treat Important Tasks Like Important Meetings</h2>\r\nBlock these tasks off in your calendar like you would a meeting and prep for it in the same way. This encourages you to use this designated time to focus on that task. You will be amazed at how an hour of focused time can make a difference in how efficiently you are able to complete a task. Make sure to give it the same importance as you would with a Client meeting. Don’t push it or cut it short unless absolutely necessary - would you do that to a Client?\r\n\r\nI hope you found these tips useful and that they will help you to be more organized. Please share below any additional or adaptive tips you may have to increase your productivity and stress levels.\r\n\r\n**********************************************************************\r\n\r\nDana is a Holistic Process Strategist, Professional Organizer, a Certified Project Manager and Life Coach in Nashville, TN.  Join the <a href=\"https://app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/247793?v=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">Happiness Deposits</a> newsletter for more organizing tips related to space, life, soul and business.','How to Ensure Your Day Will Be More Organized and Less Stressful','','inherit','closed','closed','','7492-revision-v1','','','2019-07-27 05:15:26','2019-07-27 05:15:26','',7492,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/7492-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),
