It is preferred that the consultation be done in the space so we can determine the overall state of your space and can begin devising a plan of action to move forward.  We are always as straight forward with you as we can be because we know your time and money is important, so this will enable us to determine if we are right for the job.  Below are a few questions that we will be asking during our consultation so you can have time to think about your answers:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">What is your future goal for the space we are about to tackle? What is your dream for the space?  This helps us set expectations and defines guidelines for the sessions.</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do you have an overall budget you are trying to stay within? Think about the entire budget the hourly cost of THB as well as your organizing tools.</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since we focus on educating our Clients to organize, we recommend that you be involved during the sessions - are there any restrictions or concerns you have with this recommendation?</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Will any friends or family be available during your sessions to assist?</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Have you notified your family that you are enlisting the help of an Organizer?  Do you have any reservations with doing this...if so, what are they?</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Who are the decision makers for each space? It is our recommendation that all family members that are affected by the particular space be involved (i.e., daughters room - daughter and parent should be involved, Kitchen - anyone who cooks, shops or puts up dishes should be involved).  This enables us to determine the most effective systems for your space.</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do you have a specific cause, agency or place where you want to donate certain items (i.e., public library, animal shelter, homeless mission, etc.)?  Having a list identified as we go through your items is helpful.  Please visit our <a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/donation-and-recycle-resources/\">donation and recycle resource</a> page for helpful information on this topic.</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Are there any items/things that are completely off limits when it comes to tackling your space? This is important to know so we can eliminate those things in the beginning of our session and can include/exclude them in a final design of the space.</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is not necessary to clean or tidy your space, we have seen it all and anticipate we will be addressing it together.  Seeing the real state of your space helps us determine how best to assist you.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Things to do Pre-Session</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once we determine the fit works, we work with you to schedule your first three-hour session.  There are a few things we have learned that make the process more efficient.  We have listed them below:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Try not to think of this session as what you need to get rid of, ask yourself, \"What do I really need to keep?\"</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please secure all private and dangerous items, and pets.</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Get a good nights rest, decluttering/organizing can be a very detailed and sometimes stressful job. We hope to remove as much of that from your experience as possible, but it always helps to come in fresh.</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">We advise that you eliminate as many distractions as possible.  Fill a water bottle and ensure you have a decent meal prior to our arrival.  You are free to take as many breaks as you need, but we try not to take breaks during your session because your time and money are valuable.  Once we start, our clock starts and doesn\'t stop until our three hour session ends, unless we are pulled away for a non-session related purpose.</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is helpful to have a place identified that we can use for sorting/laying items out during your session.  If you don\'t have this type of location it is okay we just have to know in advance so we can bring a table to use for that purpose.</li>\r\n 	<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Friends/Family that are ready to assist are always helpful in that we can accomplish more in a shorter period of time.  This is your personal choice and we are fine with whatever you decide, we can handle the job alone (after consultation), with you or with the additional help. We would suggest you limit this group to three (unless they are part of your immediate family).  The more people we have the more decision trees there will be.</li>\r\n</ul>','','','inherit','closed','closed','','3443-revision-v1','','','2016-08-08 21:30:05','2016-08-08 21:30:05','',3443,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/3443-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4640,1,'2016-08-13 22:45:25','2016-08-13 22:45:25','','sunflower-yellow-782250_1920','','inherit','open','closed','','sunflower-yellow-782250_1920','','','2016-08-13 22:45:25','2016-08-13 22:45:25','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/sunflower-yellow-782250_1920.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(4641,1,'2016-08-13 22:47:59','2016-08-13 22:47:59','','sunflower-1184084_1920','','inherit','open','closed','','sunflower-1184084_1920','','','2016-08-13 22:47:59','2016-08-13 22:47:59','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/sunflower-1184084_1920.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(4652,1,'2016-08-15 23:00:04','2016-08-15 23:00:04','','Before%2FAfter Bookshelves','','inherit','open','closed','','before%2fafter-bookshelves','','','2016-08-15 23:00:04','2016-08-15 23:00:04','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Before2FAfter-Bookshelves.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(4653,1,'2016-08-15 23:02:02','2016-08-15 23:02:02','Spread your sunshine','Spread Your Sunshine - Louisiana','','inherit','open','closed','','spread-your-sunshine-louisiana','','','2016-08-15 23:02:25','2016-08-15 23:02:25','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Spread-Your-Sunshine-Louisiana.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(4658,1,'2016-08-16 22:33:28','2016-08-16 22:33:28','Excess Paper','Excess Paper','','inherit','open','closed','','excess-paper-1','','','2016-08-16 22:33:40','2016-08-16 22:33:40','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Excess-Paper-1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(4662,1,'2017-08-08 20:37:25','2017-08-08 20:37:25','Teach you how to find yourself by focusing purely on your needs as an individual.  This area teaches you how to identify and achieve your individual wants, needs, purposes and goals.','Soul','','inherit','closed','closed','','4405-autosave-v1','','','2017-08-08 20:37:25','2017-08-08 20:37:25','',4405,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/4405-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4663,1,'2017-08-08 20:33:07','2017-08-08 20:33:07','Teaching you to organize your space, which includes homes, office\'s, brick and mortar stores, etc.','Space','','inherit','closed','closed','','4415-autosave-v1','','','2017-08-08 20:33:07','2017-08-08 20:33:07','',4415,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/4415-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4669,1,'2016-08-26 03:04:31','2016-08-26 03:04:31','<!-- wp:paragraph {\"dropCap\":true} -->\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">The main premise behind The Happiness Bucket (THB)  is that you are focused on filling your bucket (yourself) with happiness.  We really dive in and do the work to figure out what those things are for you. Most look at this in terms of either their business or personal life, but I like to look at it holistically.  When one area is in disarray it tends to affect the other and vice versa.  I believe we really have to do a balancing act between the two to truly live our happiest life. To take it a step further, as a woman, we have to be even more diligent.  We are wearing so many hats that our holistic balance is usually off kilter. We are being pulled in so many different directions that we often forget about ourselves in the process.  </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><span style=\"color: #e02073;\">My Personal Journey</span></h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p> I began my own personal journey to find happiness many years ago.&nbsp; I didn\'t like the trajectory of my life, at the time, and was bound set on changing it.&nbsp; During that process, I discovered I was doing and focusing on so many things that didn\'t really make me happy.&nbsp; Once I changed my focus I was able to identify my roadmap: Organization, process,&nbsp;teamwork and customer service. Once identified I was able to take my roadmap and ultimately fill my happiness bucket by doing and teaching what I love. Now I take what I learned over the years and I teach other people how to do it for themselves and that is how The Happiness Bucket ultimately was born. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><span style=\"color: #e02073;\">Affirmation of Purpose is Important </span></h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Over the years I have also had a number of purpose affirming moments.

I just chuckled and said,&nbsp; \"Because I knew it wouldn\'t stay that way.\"\n\nThis is the moment I really knew organization and process were a big part of who I am.

We began a group mini-session right there and by the end of our visit, each woman had a plan of action and were reassured that they would make it through and past their situations to become their happier selves.

 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.\n\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!\n<h2>Make Your High-Level Plan</h2>\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!!!\n<h2>Break your plan down into To Do Lists</h2>\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.\n\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.\n<h2>Batch Your To Do\'s</h2>\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>.\n<h2>Be Realistic</h2>\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.\n\nIf you like what you read here, please share it with someone close to you.\n\n&nbsp;','Organizing for the Holidays','','inherit','closed','closed','','3834-autosave-v1','','','2019-04-10 15:41:23','2019-04-10 15:41:23','',3834,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/3834-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4721,1,'2016-09-11 23:44:14','2016-09-11 23:44:14','It\'s October and you know what that means?

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.\n\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.  .\n\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-->\n\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>\n<h2>My Clean Car Plan</h2>\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.\n\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 I stick with it...\n<h2>A Small Window of Time</h2>\nYes, I kept with it, and it has been great! By 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!\n\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.\n\nOne other thing I do is I now keep a few grocery bags in the pocket of my backseat.

I would love for you to take a photo of the completed task (if that is possible) and/or list how it made you feel to have it done. Remember to use the #gtdchallenge.\r\n\r\n5.  On November 30 (or whatever day you end the challenge) share a summary of how the challenge helped you.\r\n\r\nIf these tasks are things for the house, I encourage you to incorporate the entire family.  I mean who said you have to be the only one getting things done?!?!?\r\n<h2>Identifying the Challenge Goal</h2>\r\nThe goal of this challenge is to get you to take action and to learn how to plan, even if it is small action.  This challenge will ultimately help you organize your thoughts and plan ahead for things that normally would cause you stress.  Now, that being said...I don\'t want you to panic if you don\'t finish your whole list.  As time goes on you will learn how to accomplish the tasks and goals you have on your list.  You will also learn how to pair down and be realistic in the overall goals you set for yourself.  So, if you don\'t finish the list this month, just move any items you haven\'t completed to a new list for the following month and pick additional items so that your list totals the number of days in the month (i.e., December has 31 days).  You continue this through to the end of the year and if you decide to keep the list you can see what all you accomplished throughout the year...but ummmm lets discard it at the end of the year.  Seriously, no need to hold on to clutter.\r\n\r\nNow speaking of clutter, one suggested way to use this list...specifically those of you who are working on an organizing project...is to make the list things that will help you meet your organizational goals.  You could make a declutter list, or a project list of to do\'s, maybe you are planning a move or a life transition.  You figure out what works for you.  I love to use this list around the <a href=\"http://development.thehappinessbucket.com/holiday-planning-guide-pt1/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October - December</a> time frame because the <a href=\"http://development.thehappinessbucket.com/holidayorganizing/\">holiday\'s</a> can always get really hectic for me and since it is my favorite time of the year, I want to be able to enjoy it.\r\n\r\nIn the process of developing the list.  It\'s also okay to put fun stuff on the list, I mean all work and no play makes you well...not so much fun LOL.\r\n\r\nGet creative.  Enjoy yourself and see how much you can take action on today!','The Get Things Done Challenge Helps You Organize','','publish','open','open','','get-things-done','','\nhttp://development.thehappinessbucket.com/batch-organizing/','2019-07-27 05:16:34','2019-07-27 05:16:34','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/?p=4765',0,'post','',0),(4766,1,'2016-10-31 21:55:35','2016-10-31 21:55:35','','thb-gtd-challenge','','inherit','open','closed','','thb-gtd-challenge','','','2016-10-31 21:55:35','2016-10-31 21:55:35','',4765,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/THB-GTD-CHALLENGE.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(4767,1,'2016-10-31 21:55:50','2016-10-31 21:55:50','It\'s that time again when things get hectic and we don\'t have enough time in the day to get everything done, so we are going to help you out and start the GTD Challenge again!  For those who are new to this, the challenge is set up to hold you accountable.  To make you think through what you have to do, write it down and take action.  This is how it works:\r\n\r\n1.  Number a piece of paper (or excel for you techy\'s) using the number of days in a month (November has 30).  So using this example your page should be numbered 1 - 30.\r\n\r\n2.  On each of those lines identify something you need to do.  Make your holiday card list, Wash the car, clean out your purse, make the Thanksgiving menu, take items to goodwill, read a book for a bookclub mtg, etc.\r\n\r\n3.  On November 1 (or whatever day you start the challenge) you are to take a photo of your list and post it in the <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/THBNoMoreDebt/\" target=\"_blank\">group</a> with the #gtdchallenge.\r\n\r\n4.  Each day, you should complete at least one thing on your list and post in the group what you completed (note:  if it is a personal task, just say I completed task # xyz today!)

Keep Your Car Clean</h1>\r\nToday, we are going to talk about the area that all of us have to address at some point or another...your car! 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. Well, 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 my car pretty much stayed organized.  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.  Well, fast forward to almost a year and a half later and I was about to lose my mind...my car seemed like it was\r\nalways a mess.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://ctt.ec/5aw53\" target=\"_blank\"><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\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. I 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 I stick with it...\r\n\r\nYes! And it has been great! By 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 lol. I 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 there way to the inside of a vacuum.  Apparently I got a bee in my bonnet about seeing all that stuff lol.\r\n\r\nOne other thing I do is I now keep a few plastic 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\n<a href=\"http://bit.ly/THBNetwork-PT\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-4824\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/CHANGE-Academy-Facebook-Group-250x300.png\" alt=\"Change Academy Facebook Group\" width=\"113\" height=\"136\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDid you find this content helpful?  If so, join our community of support to ensure you receive all the organizational content we have to share with you.\r\n\r\nUntil next time, happy organizing!','#THBOrganize: Bringing Order To Your Mobile Life','','inherit','closed','closed','','3613-revision-v1','','','2017-03-24 02:57:11','2017-03-24 02:57:11','',3613,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/3613-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4925,1,'2017-03-24 03:42:10','2017-03-24 03:42:10','<h1>How You Can Keep Your Car Clean</h1>\r\nToday, we are going to talk about the area that all of us have to address at some point or another...your car!

We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.\r\n\r\nWe will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third-party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to ship an order.\r\n\r\nIn order to use some services on this website, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about the products/services on our site in which you have expressed interest. At your option, you may also provide demographic information (such as gender or age) about yourself, but it is not required.\r\n\r\nWe request information from you on our order form. To buy from us, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we\'ll use this information to contact you.\r\n\r\nThis website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.\r\n\r\nWe use \"cookies\" on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor\'s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site.

These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.\r\n\r\nOccasionally, we partner with another party to provide specific services to our Clients. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third-party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.\r\n\r\nUnless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.\r\n<h3><strong>Your Access to and Control Over Information </strong></h3>\r\nYou may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time.

When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.\r\n\r\nWherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for \"https\" at the beginning of the address of the web page.\r\n\r\nWhile we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.\r\n<h3><strong>Updates</strong></h3>\r\nOur Privacy Policy may change from time to time and all updates will be posted on this page.\r\n\r\nIf you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact us immediately via telephone at 615-669-7706 or via email at <a

CiCi who has worked hard at transforming herself and her body over the past few years.  She is such an inspiration to all of our readers and to us at THB.  She is here to give some much needed help right before we hit our July 4th cookouts!\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_2829\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"https://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/miss-cici.jpg\"><img src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/miss-cici.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Miss CiCi&#039;s before and after!\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2829\" /></a> Miss CiCi\'s before and after![/caption]\n*****************************************************************************************\n\nThe Fourth of July.  Ahhh...It’s a wonderful day filled with freedom, fun, fireworks, food and of course, FAT.  Unfortunately, while we make plans to scarf down, ribs, pulled pork, potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw, bread(wipes away drool) etc. we must realize that these delicious things can come with a heavy price; for me it’s right usually around the thighs. “What can we do about this?”   you ask?  The \"Bobs and Jillian’s” of our world would tell you avoid these things at all cost.  Here, I disagree.  I think that as these holidays come around only once a year, it is difficult to resist.   In compromise I’ve come up with some figure friendly tips to help you enjoy and still be successful.\n\n1.)  Don’t skip the work out - Hopefully you have made a 30 minute workout a part of your weekly (preferably daily) agenda.  If so, do not skip this.  In fact, take this opportunity to push harder, run faster crunch more (…abs not chips.)\n\n2.)  Stick to one plate - KISS…Keep It Simple Shrinkers.  Remember your eyes are always bigger than your stomach.  So go ahead; fix your plate and eat.  If you feel tempted to have more, try drinking a glass of water first.  If you still feel hungry, by all means have a bit more.  \n\n3.)  Go for the leaner meat - I am a Memphis girl so BBQ is in my blood.  I always want ribs.  However, one of my favorite BBQ treats is Chicken.  If you’re not feelin’ that, go for a turkey burger, turkey dog or even lamb.  \n\n4.)  Load up on fruits and veggies - We are often so busy piling on the BBQ that we forget about the veggies.  Don’t miss out on roasted corn, watermelon and green beans.  These are all low cal but also help with digestion, provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support, and are high fiber, respectively.  These healthy options should fill at least half your plate but won’t demolish your waistline. \n\nBasically, what I want you to remember is one thing.  This day doesn’t have to ruin your progress or be something you dread because you can’t indulge.  Do yourself a favor and go hard in the morning so you can enjoy yourself for lunch/dinner. If you’re like me and you still feel guilty afterwards just drag your family outside for a 30 minute run/walk. Happy fourth and Happy shrinking!  \n\n\n<a href=\"https://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/courtni1.jpg\"><img src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/courtni1.jpg\" alt=\"Miss CiCi\" width=\"209\" height=\"173\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2848\" /></a>\n\nCiCi\nFollow me @kixs4u on twitter \n#teamshrinking\n','Buenas Shrinkers!/Hello Shrinkers!','','inherit','closed','closed','','2826-revision-v1','','','2017-06-21 22:45:53','2017-06-21 22:45:53','',2826,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/2826-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5095,1,'2017-06-21 22:45:54','2017-06-21 22:45:54','Recently, I was watching tv when a commercial came on about a movie/documentary called \"Fat Sick and Nearly Dead\".  It was online so I decided to watch it.  It is a story about a man named Joe who decided to change his life by entering the world of Juicing.  I won\'t give the documentary away but I will say it had me thinking twice about going on a fruit and vegetable juice fast.  I can\'t say I am trying to lose baby weight, but I can say I am trying to lose some baby bumps LOL.  See I only gained 15 lbs with my pregnancy and had lost all of that plus ten additional pounds six weeks after giving birth so it isn\'t that weight I\'m trying to lose now it\'s the extra roll I inherited from that and well to be honest the additional weight from the post pregnancy cookies I keep eating LOL.  Yes I know I know...so anyway I digress.  I watched this movie and it is so different than most weightloss stories or infomercials in that it didn\'t just show a beginning and ending photo it took you on the journey with four different people and explained a lot along the way.  It was amazing to see the results in just going on a juice fast.  And maybe juicing isn\'t your think...well they talk about why this works and it is more about the plant based diet than the \"juice\".  Anyway, I thought I would share this with you and see what you think about it.  \n\n<a href=\"http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/watch-fat-sick-and-nearly-dead/\">Fat Sick and Nearly Dead</a>\n\n\n\n','Inspirational Moment - Reboot with Joe','','inherit','closed','closed','','2438-revision-v1','','','2017-06-21 22:45:54','2017-06-21 22:45:54','',2438,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/2438-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5096,1,'2017-06-21 22:45:54','2017-06-21 22:45:54','This morning while enjoying a little quiet time, I read a Facebook post from a friend of mine who was making a statement regarding something she had recently read about living healthy.

The book is fictional and about a preacher\'s wife who needs to lose 100 pounds and suspects her husband of cheating on her.

 3.  I\'m not starving at lunch time;  4.  I am adding more fruits to my diet.\n\nI have also chosen to prep my watermelon\'s this way too.  I got the idea for this from my parents who had a container of cubed watermelon in the fridge one day but told me to take it all because they weren\'t going to eat it.  I was throwin\' down on that watermelon during my 40 min drive home from their house...I didn\'t even need a fork.  So, that got me to thinking.  Soon there after I cubed up a watermelon we purchased and put it in a bowl.  That following Saturday while I was working around the house...I got hungry but didn\'t feel like doing any cooking so I grabbed the bowl and started smacking my lips...once again ☺.\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/watermelon.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-992\" title=\"watermelon\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/watermelon.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a>\n\nYou can do this pre-preparing process on just about any snack in your home.  Conduct a search on pinterest using \"prepared snacks\" as the search term and a few will popup.  Just ignore the unhealthy options ☺.\n\nI hope you gain a little inspiration from my experience and start making some healthy changes in your life as well.\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent4.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-994\" title=\"The-Happiness-Bucket transparent\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/the-happiness-bucket-transparent4.png?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" /></a>','My Eating Life:  A Trick to Add Fruit to My Life','','inherit','closed','closed','','941-revision-v1','','','2017-06-21 22:45:54','2017-06-21 22:45:54','',941,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/941-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5098,1,'2017-06-21 22:45:55','2017-06-21 22:45:55','As part of BACVOL-Life I have been trying to focus more on my health.  I, like many, have my ups and downs.  I have been looking for an exercise routine, besides salsa dancing, that could get me working and that I could do at home without a bunch of extra tools.  While on vacation recently I saw infomercials for both P90X and Insanity.  Both looked intriguing but I wasn\'t sure which was best.  A very fit male friend of mine said he had done both and suggested I get insanity because it was more cardio based.  Well, I recently borrowed the Insanity CD from another friend who gave me both CDs 1 and 2.  Insanity CD 1 included a test that you are supposed to complete every other week (I think) and Insanity CD 2 was the cardio session. I watched these CDs and although inspired I immediate got scared. I was afraid I would get discouraged part of the way through because many of his background exercisers weren\'t smiling and having a great time as you see in most videos, 10 mins in many were bending over (in the middle of the exercise) as though they were about to throw up! I figure for him to show that on the CD that it was reality and that this CD was no joke! That being said, the overall method Sean T uses seems to make a lot of sense...you give high intensity cardio for 3 mins and rest for 30 secs. (The normal method is you do moderate exercise for 3 mins and do high intensity for 30 secs). Each time you go back after the break/rest period the exercise changes. Although the exercises being performed aren\'t hard, it\'s the sheer intensity level that shocks your system.\n\nSooooo, after watching these CDs and giving myself a reality check...I decided to do another video that Sean T has called Hip Hop Abs to work up to the Insanity level. I know that exercising requires motivation and drive and I am one that if discouraged won\'t do it...but if I do something that I can handle and it either begins getting too easy or I start seeing results I add more and more to it...so my hope is that I will work up to the insanity level of exercise.\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120813-000504.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120813-000504.jpg\" alt=\"20120813-000504.jpg\" /></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120813-000510.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/20120813-000510.jpg\" alt=\"20120813-000510.jpg\" /></a>\n\nNow, I am one of those that hates/detests/can\'t stand doing sit ups...and it really shows since that part of my body is the area that needs the most work. I was really drawn to the Hip Hop Abs video because you don\'t have to get on the ground and you are still working those muscles. It is a lot of isolation using dance moves so it works other areas since you are standing up and doing cardio in the process. I was able to order the CD from ebay for approximately $14.00 and it came in about two weeks from China. I\'ll have to keep you posted regarding how well I do, but I can tell you it definitely affected some of my muscles since I felt pain the next day and all I did was the intro session, which was about 20 mins and about 10 mins of the cardio section, which is 45 mins. The part I did was fun and it wasn\'t too hard to follow.  I could definitely see how it could help my abs and my problem areas.  Now, some of the things Sean says on the CD was a little corny or dated, but who cares...the music was cool and he gave great instruction.\n\nWish me luck! I would love to hear from anyone else who has used these CDs by Sean T.  Share what you are doing to stay healthy, get healthy or just get started...no more excuses people...for those of you who know what the \"Freshman 15\" is/was don\'t try to use that as your excuse now, because most of you aren\'t in college anymore.  #realtalk.\n\nLets Move!!!!  Come on, fill your Healthy Bucket today!\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;','Exercising: Hip Hop Abs - Does it work?','','inherit','closed','closed','','844-revision-v1','','','2017-06-21 22:45:55','2017-06-21 22:45:55','',844,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/844-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5099,1,'2017-06-21 22:45:55','2017-06-21 22:45:55','<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/20120705-195331.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/20120705-195331.jpg\" alt=\"20120705-195331.jpg\" /></a>\n\nSo the other day I made roast beef in the crockpot. This recipe is very simple so I will provide it here although I don\'t have a photo of the meat cooking.\n\n<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Crock Pot Roast Beef\n</span>Pot Roast (your meat...can be whatever cut you prefer)\n2 cans of cream of mushroom soup (I personally use the low fat one)\n1 can of water (just fill one of the emptied Cream of Mushroom cans)\n1 packet of lipton onion soup mix\n\nMix all the ingredients together in a bowl and pour it over the meat. Some choose to brown off the meat first, but I\'ve stopped doing that now and just add salt and pepper to the meat prior to putting it in the crockpot and then I pour the water/soup mixture over it. Cook on high for 4 hrs or low for 8 hrs or until it is the tenderness you like. I like for the meat to be firm, but easy to shred.\n\nNow to make the sandwich, we just added the meat to a Bolillo roll. Bolillo is a type of Mexican savory <a title=\"Bread\" href=\"/wiki/Bread\">bread</a> similar to a baguette. Now my sweetheart, Luis, added avocado, tomatoes, mayonaise and cheese to his (he may have added something else, I honestly couldn\'t remember)...me I just had mayonaise and american cheese with the meat. When I tell you this sandwich was DELICIOUS!!!! I promise you I am not exaggerating. Try it for yourself and you will be so happy you did.

This recipe is simple in that majority of the ingredients I already had in the house, so I just had to pick-up  the chicken (pollo), the sazon (actually found a box at the house that my Corazon had purchased) and some adobo seasoning.  I conducted my shopping at Publix, but most stores have the seasoning in the International or Hispanic aisle of the store.  Now, the first hurdle I came to is knowing which sazon seasoning I was supposed to buy.  The recipe stated a specific brand but what it didn’t state was that there were all kinds of types/flavors to choose from.  I went with the one made for poultry lol go figure.  My co-workers asked what exactly sazon and adobo seasonings are and they are basically a seasoned salt blend...each is made up of different seasonings.  You can make your own at home but this being my first experience with Latin cooking I said uh nope I’m going with the store bought stuff.  Additionally, I although the recipe called for thighs it was less expensive for me to get quarters (7 in the pack), so my recipe was more than the 4 points…because I also left the skin on…oh man I’m bad huh!?!?  Hey I’m in healthy training cut me a little slack!\n\n<strong>Prepping</strong> - Alright so now I’m home and it’s time to start cooking…can I just sayyyyyyyyyyy this took all of 5 mins to prepare!  This is including all the strange looks and rereading of the recipe lol.  I was a little confused with how much adobo to put on the chicken but I decided to go with my gut and just do what felt right.  I didn’t measure it so I can’t tell you how much was enough, but each piece of chicken had seasoning on it…you could see it.  I used a big stew pot to mix my chicken because I decided to season all the chicken at once although I only cooked four of the quarters at a time.  I placed the entire pot in the refrigerator and let it marinate for about an hour and a half…but the recipe only calls for 20 mins.\n\nOk I need to take an intermission for a second to tell you how delicious my house smelled and I hadn’t even cooked anything!!!!  I was all excited because I was cooking my first solo latin dish and I could only imagine the shock on my Corazon’s face when he walked in the door…ok intermission is over lets get to cooking!\n\n<strong>Cooking</strong>- After the marinating time had passed I turned my oven on broil.  Now my rack was already in the middle of the oven…I would recommend moving yours to that location if it isn’t already.  I placed 4 of the quarters on a broiling plan (the ones with the slits in it and the pan underneath to catch the drippings) skin side down.  I let it cook for a while (I didn’t time it but I’d say 15 - 20 mins or until it starts to brown)…then I flipped the chicken over.  I let it continue to cook until the chicken was browned just enough.  Again, didn’t time this just watched the chicken to ensure it didn’t burn.  I took it out the oven and let it rest for at least 5 mins.  [I actually had to cover the first batch with foil because we weren’t ready to eat].\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_666\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/chickensabroso.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-666\" title=\"chickensabroso\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/chickensabroso.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a> Pollo Sabroso[/caption]\n\nOk  can we just say I wanted to slap somebody!!! THIS CHICKEN WAS DELICIOUS!!!!  OMG OMG…the first batch (original 4) after having set under the foil the skin had become more like baked chicken but the flavor was so powerful and good.  The second batch (other 3 cooked the next day) were eaten five minutes after it was made so the skin was nice and crispy.  Both times the chicken was moist and juicy…that is why it is so important to let it rest for 5 mins so the juices settle into the meat.\n\nI was so pleased with my first solo Latin dish!  Let me just say I got a gold star for my first meal…some may get mad but I was happy when Corazon asked me if I bought it from somewhere…uh NO I made it man!  To me that is a compliment especially with it being my first time....on top of that he went back for seconds…that tells you it was good!\n\nPlease try the recipe and report back to let us know if it was Pollo Sabroso for you too!  Happy eating!','Discovering My Inner Latina in the Kitchen','','inherit','closed','closed','','660-revision-v1','','','2017-06-21 22:45:55','2017-06-21 22:45:55','',660,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/660-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5101,1,'2017-06-21 22:45:55','2017-06-21 22:45:55','Over the years I have not been shy about sharing my dislike of scales.  They represent everything I detest about losing weight.  I can tell you I have been on a weight loss/life change journey for about two years or so...honestly I haven\'t been counting, but I can tell you I feel better than I have in years.  Now don\'t take this to mean my journey is over because it is not...but I\'ve noticed a change in my endurance, in my body composition and my eating habits.  What I have not seen is a change in the number on the scale...that freakin piece of metal!  It has given me the same stupid number for four years!!! In that time I have dropped from a size 20+ to a 16! I have lost all kinds of inches too! So whyyyy does it want to mess with me by being stubborn?  Thats alright cause I prevailed today!\n\nI was preparing a group of formal dresses for donation to DonateMyDress.org, which is a non-profit which helps provide girls in need with dresses for the prom, quincenera, sweet 16, and other special occasions. I was showing Luis the dresses, focusing specifically on one I had been talking about earlier in the night.  When I pulled it out I saw that it was a 16.  I was curious whether it would fit or not so I decided to try it on.  Well, I put it on over a pair of running pants I had on and low and behold it fit! I shouldn\'t have been so amazed...I mean it was a 16...well, the amazement for me came when I called my mother to inquire what the year was when I first wore that gown.  She informed me it was Aug of 2004! Yes people...7 1/2 years ago!  \n\nSo, you see why I don\'t pay that little mean metal scale any attention? I weigh the same 220 lbs I\'ve weighed for yearrrrrrs, but apparently it is more muscle than fat.  So the point of all of this is...don\'t allow yourself to focus on the unimportant factor of just weight, look at all the wins and total the column properly so you get a holistic view of what is really going on.\n\nI choose to use clothing as my scale and that works for me.  Some of you may want to measure yourself with a tape measure or get your bmi...the key is to not get discouraged and to use what works for you.  Once you reach one goal, move on to the next one see...this win just motivates me to keep going.  Luis had a wonderful suggestion regarding me keeping one of the dresses as a goal dress.

I\'d say about 4 wins for every fail LOL ok who am I kidding...this won\'t happen overnight, but strive to get your win/fails in check.  So how do I deal with my fails...I just adjust and move on.  I choose not to focus or ponder on them too long as that can be kind of discouraging.  Don\'t beat yourself up...but acknowledge you need to do something that would qualify as a gold star activity to cancel out your fail.  \n\nSo, on to my Gold Star Report!  Well, to make a long story short...without way too many details:  I only ate out five times last week!  This includes breakfast, lunch and dinner!  Now some of you may be bawking at that number...but this is coming from someone who generally ate out 10 - 14 times a week.  Give me my freaking Gold Star!!!! \n\nI also tried something new this week.  For the past couple of weeks, me and my corazon have been talking about increasing my exercise regimine, eating better and instead of skipping meals or eating unhealthy snacks to try drinking a protein shake.  Well, I have to be honest...I was a little scared of protein shakes because I am a pretty picky eater and can\'t imagine it tastes any good.  Well, he brought me some protein powder to try last week and I actually tried it.  Well, I can\'t really pinpoint the taste of it for you, but it\'s like chocolate milk with a slight aftertaste.  I\'m not knocking people down to make another one...but it was \"alright\".  I will not give up on drinking them, but maybe this flavor/brand just isn\'t for me.  Maybe I need to get a good recipe for the shake.  I originally just put the protein in a cup with milk and blended it...but then I felt like it wasn\'t cold enough so I put it in the freezer and I ended up with a true \"protein milk shake\".  It helped a lot, but again...nothing to write home about.  I will not give up on it...but for now I want my freaking GOLD STAR!  \n\nNow this post wouldn\'t be complete without some of my fails...well one clear one to me is that I took my lunch one day and didn\'t eat it...instead I went to lunch with a co-worker.  I felt bad afterwards and the funny thing is that day my lunch wasn\'t right...probably the worst service I had had at that restaurant, which is a favorite of mine.  Karma I tell you Karma!  I also missed salsa this week which is currently my only form of exercise.  This makes week #3 that I\'ve missed so this has got to stop!  Because of that missed opportunity I decided to get up early on Saturday morning, turn on the ondemand exercise channel and get my in-house gym on!  I turned a fail into a non-fail, but it didn\'t earn a star...it just cancelled it out.  \n\nWell, that\'s my report for this week...wish me luck for next week.\n\nNow the floor/confessional is open for anyone who would like to share their Gold Stars/Fail\'s with the group...believe me it is theraputic and holds you accountable for the things you are/aren\'t doing.

Wait that’s another story for another day.  Ok back to the point, after achieving that goal I said, “hey I was able to do that...so now, what is next?”  Well, around this time I was watching an episode of the biggest loser, I get them mixed up but I think it was the one with Coach and his daughter Sunshine and the rest of that amazing Biggest Loser cast.  (Note, if i have the wrong cast, the point is the same).  It was the episode where they were running a ½ marathon and I got so inspired.  The individuals weren’t any smaller than I was at the time and they were able to do it so why couldn’t I?  So, I began training for the 1/2 marathon.  I am a person that does better when I know people know what I’m supposed to be doing, so I chose to journal about my training on facebook as I had my natural hair journey.  I know that is not for everyone, but it served my purpose.  Friends encouraged me and held me accountable by asking how I did, or whether I had run my miles because I hadn’t posted any updates, etc.  I listened to the free podcast \"couch to 5k\" to get started.  I found several of these on iTunes...granted I wasn’t as committed as I should have been at first, but after I paid for my entry fee in Dec. I was super dedicated because it wasn’t cheap and I wasn’t about to waste my money.  I joined the Tennessee in Training group here in Nashville (although they have various groups in Chattanooga and other cities) which helped keep me motivated and encouraged.  I was concerned because I was not small and couldn’t run, but they assured me that it was no problem.  They patiently waited for me after each run and by about mid training season, I was hanging in there with the group.   Sometimes I would even start the run early so I could end with everyone else.  Overall, it was just great knowing I wasn’t out there running by myself.  I also participated in a couple of 5k’s to just get me used to participating in events.  Needless to say, I ran/walked my first ½ marathon on April 24, 2010!  By the time I finished that I was wearing a size 18 and feeling pretty inspired.  [note:  My father (65 yrs old) was so inspired that he decided that day to participate the following year and began training by walking each day after that.  I walked my second ½ marathon the next year along side my dad (this was the best feeling in the world, although he almost left me lol).]  \n\nSo, if you are following me you know my first goal was to become natural, second was to participate in my first 1/2 marathon and so now enters my third goal and that was to learn how to salsa dance. I originally just wanted to learn because I thought it was sexy and cool...but after attending my first lesson, leaving feeling energized but sweating like I had NEVER sweated before, I realized what a great workout it was.  I started taking classes twice a week 1 - 2 hrs each and in less than a mth realized that I was dancing up to four days a week...2hrs a piece.  If you are doing the math that is about 8 hrs of exercise without picking up a weight or getting on a piece of equipment.  I am now considered an intermediate salsa dancer...I don\'t sweat like I used to because my tolerance is way up and I don\'t dance as much as I used to due to my schedule (a topic for another day), but my clothing size is now a 16, heading towards a 14. It\'s now time for my fourth goal, which I started in 2011 but didn\'t complete yet and that is to focus on my intake.  I have made small changes like drinking water with crystal light in it...instead of my customary sweet tea, Eating subway for lunch instead of Logan\'s or other high calorie/fat foods...and trying to eat more vegetables...but, I am a long way from achieving this goal.\n\nSo why am I telling you all this?  I am saying this to say…no more excuses!  Take an honest look at your life and lifestyle and just take small steps to make a change.  If my 65 year old father can do this you can too!  In 2012, he is participating in his second marathon with my younger brother and his girlfriend.  So another suggestion is to make this a family affair!  They may gripe and scream at first but they will soon embrace it and thank you for encouraging them to live healthier lives.  Make it a contest of who can do something the fastest (drop a clothing size or inches, drink 64 oz of water, run/walk a mile in x amt of time).  The opportunities are endless but the key is to encourage each other.\n\nI tackle things on a phased approach, I have never been a throw everything in the basket type of person, so what I am trying to do right now is to prepare meals at home more (yes I eat out ALL the time!!!) and drink more water (thanks for the advice Fred!) so I can go to the bathroom 6 – 8 times a day.  Learn what works for you...and focus on that...if what you thought would work doesn\'t, then switch it up and try something else until it does...just don\'t give up!\n\nSo what are your health goals for 2012?  Oh and note this is not about new years resolutions but a real deal lifestyle change.','A Day in My Eating Life: My Journey','','inherit','closed','closed','','572-revision-v1','','','2017-06-21 22:45:56','2017-06-21 22:45:56','',572,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/572-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5104,1,'2017-06-21 22:45:57','2017-06-21 22:45:57','Let me introduce myself to those who don’t know me and don’t know my story.  First of all…I do not diet! I don’t like to weigh myself! I can’t stand counting calories! I don’t like exercise and most of all I love comfort foods and I’m a picky eater.  This is important for you to know…so you can hopefully relate to some of my struggles and understand my triumphs.  My goal in sharing my health journey is to hopefully encourage others to make a change in their life.  I believe that small changes will slowly add up into big changes.  My small changes have added up.  I have gone from a size 20 (getting ready to go to a 22) to a size 16.  It took me approximately 2 ½ years but I was able to do it and maintain the weightloss.  My goal size is 10 (remember I don’t like to diet or to weigh myself).\n\nNow to explain, I don’t like dieting, weighing myself or counting calories for many reasons.  The main one being that I don’t want a quick fix and I feel dieting is just that.  I know people who go on a diet at the beginning of each year and by summer they are right back where they were when they started.  I am approaching this thing as a lifestyle change.  I want to be able to maintain the weight I lose and learn how to have what I enjoy and still live a healthier life.  I also don’t like to weigh myself because the last time I weighed, I weighed the exact same amount as I did at a size 22, but I had dropped several clothing sizes.  The key is I was changing fat into muscle but they weighed exactly the same.  If I just based my success on actual pounds lost I would be discouraged and would stop.  I take my measurements into account more than my weight.   Ultimately, living a healthier life is possible people.  \n\nHow should you get started?  First, you need to verbalize and visualize your goal(s).  If it is a big goal, break it down into attainable chunks.  For example, my goal is to get down to a size 10.  Well, when I was a size 20+ I didn’t feel that was very attainable, so my first big goal was to get into an 18 and then I set mini goals to work on making that happen.  As you achieve one layer of goals you can move to the next layer and before you know it you have achieved more than you ever thought possible.  So sit down and honestly evaluate your life.  Do you smoke, do you drink too much, do you eat out too much, do you eat too many sweets, do you have diabetes or other disease, does your back hurt, do your knees hurt, do you just sit in front of the tv all night etc. etc.  Think of small things you can do to help stop that bad habit or change the trajectory of your life.  Look up recipes that help decrease your sugar intake, park further away, stretch or take yoga, take leisurely strolls with your family at night, eat at the table, limit your smoking to only outside (in cold months) or only at certain times of the day.  \n\nThe next thing I would do is make a doctors appointment to get an annual physical.  A lot of companies include this as a benefit for you free of charge, but even if they don\'t you should make an effort to get one done so you know exactly where your problem areas are and can start working on them.  Don\'t wait until it is too late...ignoring the possible problems/issues won\'t change them...in fact in many cases it just makes them worse.  Think outside the box and you will be amazed at what you can do/accomplish.\n\nMy next entry will tell you about my journey to date…what changes I made and in what order.  Believe me I am still a work in progress...please feel free to share your thoughts and questions below.','A Day in My Eating Life: Getting Started','','inherit','closed','closed','','567-revision-v1','','','2017-06-21 22:45:57','2017-06-21 22:45:57','',567,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/567-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5105,1,'2017-06-21 22:45:57','2017-06-21 22:45:57','As you all know at the beginning of this year I had a big tea challenge that I...well to be honest totally failed LOL. Yes, I can tell the truth! It\'s ok to fail...the key is to determine why you failed and come up with something else to try. So anyway, I did and now I am conquering this challenge thanks to one of my co-workers convincing me to give it a try. Now, this works not only at home but at work and when I go out to eat as well. So what did I do you ask (drum roll!!!!).... I order unsweet tea and use splenda to sweeten it and depending on the strength of the tea I add lemon juice. This helps me to eliminate the sugar but still enjoy sweet tea!!!! I have found that the strength of the tea determines whether I can taste the after-taste with the splenda or not so sometimes I need lemon and sometimes I don\'t.\nNow I know some of you are like yeah that is old news...but I say that was old news that I never tried lol. I\'m so excited. I\'ve been doing this now for two weeks and I can honestly say I have come over the sweet tea hill. Today I had the option of getting sweet or unsweet and I chose the unsweet route with splenda. It was just a choice I had to make that truly is becoming easier and easier. On top of this, I also started adding splenda to my food. I really never ate a lot of sugar in my food anyway, but when I do I try using splenda instead. I can\'t even tell the difference in food...interesting how food is different from beverages.\nSo, that is one goal down (I wonder if I can count that as two goals) and 500 more to go LOL...until next time happy goal conquering!','Sweet Tea Triumph!','','inherit','closed','closed','','319-revision-v1','','','2017-06-21 22:45:57','2017-06-21 22:45:57','',319,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/319-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5118,1,'2017-06-21 22:51:05','2017-06-21 22:51:05','In June of 2008, I made the decision to embark on my natural hair journey. At the time, I chose to do so due to hair breakage I was experiencing at the crown of my head and other reasons I won’t bore you with here. At the time my decision had nothing to do with my career, but as I began researching on how to “go natural” I kept coming across articles asking if natural hair was professional or not. Needless to say this discussion topic concerned me and made me question the entire decision on a deeper level. After much thought and analyzing I devised several points on the matter that I would like to share with you as well as to what I equate my successful journey:\n\n1. Natural Hair is actually the hair you were born with, it is not something that can determine your professionalism or unprofessionalism, anymore than the color of your skin can, so this argument on that basis alone doesn’t stand to reason.\n\n2. The choice to add permanents/relaxers/color or any other chemically altering product should be yours to make and not that of your employer.\n\n3. The professionalism question is more in relation to how you choose to style your hair, not the hair itself.\n\nSo based on the three points above, I decided to continue my journey by transitioning for 9 months and finally doing my Big Chop a.k.a “the BC” on April 4, 2009.\n\n<strong>Acclimating Co-workers and Family</strong>\nAs we all know the view of natural hair in our community is sometimes negative, add on the concern of what co-workers will think and you can imagine the stress one can feel. Here are the steps I took to avoid this situation. Note: this did not eliminate every question or rude comment, but it did help make my transition and journey successful and enjoyable:\n\nEducating: Yes this seems funny to some but the reality is the mindset surrounding natural hair all comes from a lack of education on the topic. Many people don’t even know that many minorities have naturally curly hair (this includes the minorities themselves). Most just think it is unruly, frizzy, and unmanageable hair, but when properly moisturized it becomes curly beautiful hair.\n\nMy means of education was by using facebook. For some this isn’t something you are comfortable with, but it allowed me to notify those in my life regarding what was going on, as well as to educate who would otherwise be scared to ask. People told me they felt like they were going on the journey with me. Individuals, who were also co-workers, were able to help answer questions from others who were too scared to ask me directly or who made uneducated comments out of my earshot. I had many people of all nationalities who joined in on discussions on facebook and in the office (even some from our HR Department). Most just wanted to thank me for sharing and educating them on a topic in a way which allowed them to see the transformation and appreciate the process. For those who wonder, I work in a corporate law office, so it is a pretty conservative organization.\n\nProper Styling: The key to the professionalism debate is all in the way you choose to style your hair. Hair is like clothing and any other accessory, there are work appropriate hairstyles and there are night and weekend hairstyles. You have to wear the one that fits your environment. The worst thing you can do is arrive at a meeting where the focus is on your hair or hairstyle and not your project. Youtube, blogs and websites give a plethora of styling ideas to have professional and even formal hair styles that are easy and very cute.\n\nUnderstanding: Many times we misconstrue curiosity and awe with rudeness or prejudice. When you make the decision to embark on this journey, you must too make the decision to be understanding with people. Remember your concerns, remember your questions and remember your preconceived notions before judging others. The fact that someone is staring at your hair doesn’t always mean they are disgusted, many times it means they are thinking or just in awe at the beauty of your mane and are at a loss for words. Maybe they are intimidated or too scared to ask you about it. Just practice smiling and wearing a face of openness (stop mean-mugging people!) you will be amazed at the compliments and questions you receive and the conversations that are sparked.\n\nFrom a professional standpoint, understanding and doing these things are what helped make my journey successful. It has been 3 years since I embarked on this natural journey and I am so happy I didn’t let the Professionalism debate stop me. Do your research, educate yourself first and then jump in…you will be glad you did.','Natural Hair and the Professionalism Debate','','inherit','closed','closed','','282-revision-v1','','','2017-06-21

basement space or even an outside storage facility where you currently store items?  If so, when was the last time you accessed the items in it?  When was the last time you actually went to those spaces and inventoried them or went through the boxes, bags, or shelves?\n\nI know it’s a hard thing to talk about, but the reality is we often take items we no longer need at the moment and store them and subsequently completely forget about them.  Out of sight, out of mind is definitely a true statement.  I encourage you to make a promise and a plan to go through your storage space and really access everything that is in it.  Ask yourself these key questions:\n<ul>\n	<li>When was the last time I used this item?</li>\n	<li>Do I like this item?</li>\n	<li>Does it meet the lifestyle I have today?</li>\n	<li>Am I storing this for me or someone else?</li>\n	<li>Why am I storing this?</li>\n</ul>\nThese questions will help you identify items you are keeping unnecessarily.  For those of you who have lived in your home for a long period of time, you will discover things that were from a different lifetime.  For example, are you storing baby items and you have no plans of having another child?  If so, why are you keeping them…are the items for someone else? if so, give them to the other person or better yet, ask them if they even want it.  As we discussed in a few of our earlier posts, many times people don\'t want the stuff we think they do.  What about the drawings and items from your child’s school days…you know, the child that is now a man with his own family.  Yes, it’s time to let those drawings from 5<sup>th</sup> grade go…or better yet, you can scan them into a book and make a coffee table book out of his/her art.  That to me is a much better way to honor their childhood art than in a box in your storage area.<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3725\" src=\"https://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/clutter-360058_1280.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"clutter-360058_1280\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" />\n\nI don\'t mean to give you a hard time, but I find it is better to rip the band-aid off than to try to gently take it off...that takes longer and ultimately causes more pain in the end.  So, today commit to tackling your storage area.  I guarantee you will thank me in the end.\n\nNow, for those of you who are storing items in storage facilities that you have to pay for I encourage you to set a goal of getting to the smallest storage space possible and/or eliminating it all together.  This will take a little work but you can do it.  In many cases you are storing items that you don’t need or want, or you are holding onto a dream you had years ago.  If you have a snow shovel and live in Florida, I think you can probably let that item go.  It no longer meets your environment or lifestyle.  It’s ok, sale or donate it.\n\nThe key is that often the storage spaces are the easiest to declutter because you have already detached yourself from the item, or you can detach a little easier than you can items in the living space of your home.  Start with just one box and begin to really review what is in it.  I promise you it won’t be as hard as you think it is.  For the items that you end up keeping, make sure to inventory them and clearly label your box.  Also, write the date of the box and commit to reviewing the items again in 6 months to a year.  This will allow you to regularly review the items to see if they should be kept.\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http://eepurl.com/buh03f\"><img

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... 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.  I recently proved this myself due to my clothes not fitting properly (I think they shrank lol).  I refused to purchase new clothes because I knew I needed to buckle down and lose some weight.  Instead, 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\"

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.  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.  I put them 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.  The other thing this did for me is that now I know exactly what I need to \"complete\" my wardrobe.  No more thinking I have something I could use.  I got rid of anything that I didn\'t like as well as anything that was worn or had tears or discoloration.  It didn\'t matter if I wore it or not...you have to draw a line somewhere.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">I encourage you, to take a sweep through your closet.  Don\'t think about it, just go through it and pull out anything that isn\'t high on your list of things you WANT to wear.  You may be tempted to keep it due to how much it cost or who gave it to you, but the reality is you haven\'t been wearing so why keep it in your closet?  Take the plunge, rid yourself and your closet of the excess baggage and let us know how it feels to be free.  Also, if you are worried about not having enough clothes to wear, just remember you wear the same 20% anyway...so getting rid of the stuff you avoid isn\'t going to hurt you...it\'s going to free you.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">So that is your challenge/job for this week...get rid of that excess baggage and let us know how you feel afterwards.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"> I hope you have found these words helpful and that you will begin making

several different organizational/decluttering projects at one time?  Does this overwhelm you?  As a project manager it is my nature to troubleshoot the schedule and work in a parallel universe.  If I hit one roadblock here I just move on down the schedule and work on things I can work on at the time.  When I am able to work on item #1 again, I do.  This keeps me from losing too much working time waiting.  The problem is that I am trained to do this, but most people aren’t.  Do you get seventy-five to eighty percent complete with a project and have a hard time completing that last twenty to twenty-five percent?  It’s ok to admit it, if you do.<!--more-->\n\nThe reason this is important for you to recognize is because in essence those five projects with remaining twenty-five percents contributes to your clutter, especially if you don’t have a system.  How many of those projects are taking up space in your home?  Do you have a “project” area - a specific place to put your projects until they are done?  Yeah, kind of hard when it is your dresser or your pantry or laundry room space.\n\nPicture this…you start working early on a Saturday morning on your pantry with the intentions of cleaning, decluttering and organizing it.  You look up at one point and realize you have food items all over the kitchen and you are late for the outing with your mother-in-law.  (Insert your project and a distraction here).  Well what do you do?  Some would shove everything back in the pantry…others would live with the kitchen in disarray for days until they make it back to working on the pantry.\n\nTo avoid this type of scenario it is important for you to think about your project in phases before you start.  If it is a project that you anticipate will take a number of days determine what you want to complete on the first day/time allotment and shoot to reach that goal.  Another key is to make sure you obtain all your supplies before you begin.  There is nothing like getting deep in a project and realizing you forgot to get shelf liner or the drill has to be charged.  At the end of that day/time allotment pack up your items or move them to the side and determine when you are going to come back to tackle it again.\n\nWhen we work with Clients a lot of times the process takes many days and depending on our Client’s schedule we may have days or weeks between sessions.  We would never leave a Client’s home in disarray for this amount of time.  So we have to get them to a good stopping point so they can function until we are able to complete the job.\n\n<strong>THB Quick Tip: </strong> Paper boxes are free and great organizational resources that you can use to help sort and/or maintain your project(s).  I regularly use these as temporary storage/sorting mechanisms.  The beauty of using these is that you can get them from just about any business for free (minus the reams of paper of course).  You can fill them with your project specific items and put the lid on.  They are also stackable so they take up little real estate in your space.\n\nWe hope this is helpful as you embark on your decluttering journey!','Cutting out the Distractions of

what you may not know is that I absolutely love using routing to improve my overall productivity.  What is routing?  It is the act or process by which you plan out and route your journey so you follow the path of least resistance.\r\n\r\nAlright, I know that was a lot of words, so let me give you an example.  Lets say today you have a meeting you need to attend, you need to drop off a sales packet and run by a supplier.  In planning those events for today I would map out the path these take and basically make a circle.

If you answer with any of these:\n<ul>\n	<li>What is this anyway?</li>\n	<li>We don\'t need this.</li>\n	<li>I haven\'t used this in years.</li>\n	<li>This is broken.</li>\n	<li>I hate this!</li>\n	<li>This isn\'t ours.</li>\n	<li>This doesn\'t fit.&nbsp;</li>\n</ul>\nThen that is a sign you should let it go. &nbsp;Put it in a box or bag and get it out of your home. &nbsp;Don\'t over think the process, just \"let go and let [it] flow\"...right on out your house. &nbsp;As the week goes on you will find it gets easier and easier to eliminate the clutter. &nbsp;Now, realistically you may not finish your space in a week, but you will have tackled/found the key to eliminate the clutter.&nbsp;','#THBOrganize:  How To Tackle Clutter in 1 Week','','inherit','closed','closed','','3547-revision-v1','','','2017-06-22 02:43:50','2017-06-22 02:43:50','',3547,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/3547-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5133,1,'2017-06-22 02:48:48','2017-06-22 02:48:48','<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><a href=\"https://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/img_6089.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright\" src=\"https://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/img_6089.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6089.JPG\" width=\"229\" height=\"229\" /></a>It\'s that time of year when temperatures are regulating and you know the cold weather is gone for good.  Soon, you will begin to put your winter clothes away and bringing your summer clothes out.  While making this transition take it as an opportunity to go through your clothes pulling out any you haven\'t worn or didn\'t like wearing during the season.  You see your closet should be reserved for clothes that make you happy.  Your I look good clothes, not the my body sucks clothes.  We wear about 20% of our clothes 80% of the time. Don\'t believe it? Well, I received confirmation this past winter when I gained so much weight that none of my clothes fit. I survived wearing 5 different pairs of pants.  Although I had a number of shirts/blouses and jackets that fit, I pretty much wore the same 10 or so shirts.  Don\'t be afraid to get rid of those items that you don\'t really like...I promise you will be so much happier with the items you know look good on you.  You then can make a list of items you feel are missing from your wardrobe to purchase at a later date.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">How to do slim your closet down:</p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">My process for slimming my closet went like this, I took each item in my winter section and reviewed them based on the criteria above.  If they made the cut they were added to the back of the closet. I then went through the spring/summer items with the same eye and added the keep clothes to the front of my closet.  I went through each article of clothing asking myself if I really liked it.  I removed any that I knew the answer was really no...and prepared them for donation.

There are many stories of people starting the decluttering process and finding long lost documents or even money/gift cards they had forgotten about.  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.</li>\n</ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n	<li><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Don’t lose sight of the big picture</strong></span>. Many 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.</li>\n</ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n	<li><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Don’t get overwhelmed in the unimportant details</strong></span>. I 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 your to rid yourself of the clutter.</li>\n</ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n	<li><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Don\'t ignore the logical or organic for the popular</strong></span>. Where 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.  Maybe, 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, wherever 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.</li>\n	<li><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Don’t get stuck on the one item</strong></span> - in 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.</li>\n	<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Don\'t get rid of someones stuff without their involvement</span></strong> - this 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.  Oh you got five new toys so lets get rid of five.  Or your birthday/Christmas is coming so lets look to see what you have outgrown (toys and clothes).</li>\n</ol>\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 us, we would love to hear your story...and who knows you may get featured on our blog.\n\nIf you found this information helpful, please comment and let me know.  Make sure to join us on our various social media platforms 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','','','2017-06-22 02:50:39','2017-06-22 02:50:39','',3075,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/3075-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5137,1,'2017-06-22 02:52:27','2017-06-22 02:52:27','Do you find that an email address you own gets more junk than mail and you really didn’t plan it that way?  Start tackling it one day at a time.  Starting today, take action on at least 5 of the items that come into your email box. Your email system should mimic that of your snail mail system…wait what you don’t have a snail mail system?  Well that’s a discussion for another day ☺.  Today, I am talking specifically about those items that come into your email box that fall into the trash category.  You know the items you typically skip over or just delete.  Here are a few steps you can take to tackle the extra noise of your email box:<!--more-->\n<ol>\n	<li><strong>Blog emails/newsletters</strong> - You know the emails that you get after you subscribe or like a particular blog because you want to know the next time the person posts. I do this, but typically I only subscribe via email to blogs that I really really like that don’t have an alternate way to subscribe (i.e., twitter, facebook or google+).  I prefer that way of subscribing because I can choose to veg out and read their posts at one time and I don’t feel like I lose the information in the noise of other emails.  I also learned that those I get email subscriptions to eventually become like that magazine or newspaper you subscribe to but never read.  To combat this I would say first determine if maybe the blog owner has added an additional way to subscribe since you first discovered them.  Search for the blog on the various social media platforms and if they have one and are feeding their blog posts to it, join that way and unsubscribe from the email list.  If not, you have to decide if the email is worth its square footage in your inbox.  If the decision is yes but you don’t read them right away, set up a folder and move the emails into this folder until you have time to read them.  This way you are containing them outside of your inbox and subsequently turning the volume down on the noise.  You can also postpone the decision to delete it until after you have finished going through your inbox.  You may find that after the declutter you actually see the emails and start reading them.</li>\n	<li><strong>More than what you bargained for - </strong>Some companies mix in their advertisements for sales with their blog posts and other information. You may just be interested in the blog posts and not all the other promotional materials.  Click on the unsubscribe button and see if they have an option to unsubscribe from certain parts of their mailings.  Larger companies or those that have many different publications tend to have this option, if not again you have to decide what is more important to you - getting the info you are waiting for or the junk.  If you do want the information, see if there is specific wording for those that you don’t like and create a rule that automatically deletes it upon arrival.  I know Outlook does this, I haven’t explored it in other mail systems.</li>\n	<li><strong>Social media alerts</strong> - do you really use these alerts? Many of the social media sites have numerous options for notifying/alerting you of activity on your account.  I recommend you evaluate the ones you actually look at and eliminate all the extra noise from your email box.</li>\n	<li><strong>Add on store deals</strong> - from time to time companies will sell your information to other companies and/or they have so many subsidiaries that when you subscribe to one list all the others get it (it’s in the fine print). Just unsubscribe from those “extra” lists and remember next time to read the fine print.  It is also ok to tell the store no when they ask you for an email address, they usually suggest you subscribe for an additional discount or to receive information about sales...which adds you to all their mailing lists.  Well, I suggest you connect with their text, twitter, facebook or google+ feeds for that information instead OR set up a promotional only email account so when companies ask you for that information you give that email address instead.  This will help you know where to go to search for current deals and you know anything older than a week or two can be automatically deleted because it is more than likely old news anyway.</li>\n</ol>\nIf you found this information helpful, please comment and let me know.  Make sure to join us on our various social media platforms so you don\'t miss our next post.  Until then, have a happy day!\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;','3 Items to help you Declutter your Electronic mailbox','Do you find that an email address you own gets more junk than mail and you really didn’t plan it that way?

While in there, I decided I wanted to get my baby girl some plastic Easter eggs. The colors are so bright and she likes taking things apart and putting them back together. While in the store, I remembered I was supposed to pick up some birthday cards for my Grandmother. I had been in Dollar Tree many times and never had I paid any attention to their selection of greeting cards. Well, this day I was pleasantly surprised because not only were they a decent quality but the sentiments in the cards were really nice. Needless to say I was able to get all the cards I needed that day...and the kicker is they are 2 for $1.00!!! Well, a week later, still in search for the card holder, I went to another dollar tree on another side of town. Well this one was bigger than the original one I had visited and man did I hit the jackpot in their card section. Check out these beautiful cards. Now these are plain on the inside, but look at the packaging and the card itself.\n\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3122\" src=\"https://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/img_2967.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"IMG_2967\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" />\n\nThe purple is my favorite of the two but I love them both. When you do the math you see that each card and envelope is approximately $.11 including tax!!!! Seriously?!?!!? So there you have it, my money saving tip for the month (ha because who knows when the next one will come). You can get greeting cards and all purpose cards from the dollar store (Dollar Tree to be exact). Considering I decided at the beginning of the year I wanted to do a better job of sending cards to family members on their birthday\'s and anniversary\'s, I have hit a Savings jackpot!\n\nSo the next time you are in the dollar store, take a second to just browse around. Some things are definitely worth the $1.00 and others...well you need to think about carefully.

Now if this is your diagnosis don\'t feel bad it is treatable and is very common. What typically happens is we are inspired by something...someone else\'s space, a picture or a pin on Pinterest. Whatever the motivation we go in with guns a blazin and try to tackle everything without a plan. We start pulling everything out of the space, or go out and purchase a multitude of organizational tools, but we haven\'t started with the basic step...planning.  So I want to breakdown the steps in order to reduce your chances of being diagnosed with this illness again.<!--more-->\n\n<strong>Step one - Lets Dream a Little</strong>\n\nTake your inspiration and evaluate it. Identify the things about the inspiration you like...why does it inspire you? Compare it to your space, but don\'t focus on the stuff or the clutter but bones to bones...size, layout, use, etc.  This is your time to dream a little.  Determine how much time you can dedicate to this project.  Don\'t worry if it is only 30 mins a day or one day for two hours, it is a commitment you are making to yourself/your family.  I encourage you to schedule it on your calendar and make sure your friends/family know that on this day at this time you will be (fill in the blank)...or better yet the family will be (fill in the blank).  This step will help you determine your overall goal of how you will use the space.  Think about what is currently working and what isn\'t?  How will changing the space effect your day to day life?  You have visualized the possibilities of the space and that is the first step.  Now, I don\'t want you to get lost on this step, just spend a day or two, not a month.\n\n<strong>Step two - What Do We Have Here?</strong>\n\nThis is the step when you start sorting your space.  Now one issue that many of us have is we start trying to decorate right away.  We focus on the details of the inspiration - the paint color and the storage bins...you know, the fun stuff and not the goal of the space.  We start at the end of the project instead of the beginning.  By sorting as a second step you have started the race...you are making things happen by doing something.  It\'s no longer an idea, but you have taken action.  Secondly, this is a step you can do without picking up tools or spending money.  Sorting your belongings is free.  Grab a couple of empty paper boxes (free at most business offices) and start sorting items into them or in your designated sorting space(s).  I like using boxes because you can put the lid on them and stack them out of the way if you have a small allotment of time and don\'t finish this step all at one time.  Once everything is sorted you will feel a sense of accomplishment because your project space will be empty, a blank slate...so the dream is slowing becoming reality.\n\n<strong>Step three:</strong>  <strong>Evaluate and Minimize</strong>\n\nNow that you have all your items sorted, take a real look at them and compare them to your overall goal for your space.   Do you need everything that is there and is the intention to put it all back in the space?  In most cases, this is when you need to honestly go through and weed out the junk, trash, items that are no longer needed, items with too many multiples and items that belong in another space.  Get the items down to the bare bones of what is to return to the space...then revisit your original goal.  Can you see it...can you see that you are one step closer to that goal?  This is another step that doesn\'t cost you any money.\n\nFollowing these three basic steps allows you to pace yourself so you aren\'t overwhelmed. Once you have completed these steps you will be able to really focus on the space and making it what you really want it to be.  Your view isn\'t clouded with all the unnecessary stuff that was there before.  You are now really focused on the space and defining your systems.  If you move faster than your original plan great!  If you move slower it is ok, re-evaluate your timeline and see if you can make some adjustments.\n\nHappy Organizing!','3 Steps to an Organized Space','','inherit','closed','closed','','2699-revision-v1','','','2017-06-22 02:55:02','2017-06-22 02:55:02','',2699,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/2699-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5147,1,'2017-06-22 03:09:31','2017-06-22 03:09:31','So in our last At Home with The Happiness Bucket, we talked about our keys for decluttering, organizing and decorating.  Today, we would like to share with you how we decorate for the various months, to minimize on the amount of décor that is needed in the home and how we prep our home for the winter.  We will TRY to do this in a systematic way…going month by month…so let’s get started!\n\nSeptember - In our home, this is the month that signifies serious football and the start of us switching our house over to a much cozier mood.  The weather gets cooler, so I want more blankets available around the house and we inevitably will need to pull a few coats out of storage as well.  Now, I hope that you would have gone through the coats at the end of the season last year, but if you are anything like me, you may have thought oh I can wear that one more season…but then the new season comes and you face the facts of…nope I need to let this go.  You also may want to get your coats and blankets washed/cleaned since they have not been used in a while.  This is also the time that I start considering pulling out the flannel sheets, but if you live in the South you know that in most cases this is too early, but who wants to wait until it is supposed to freeze to pull out and wash the flannel sheets???  Remember plan ahead.\n\nWhat about the time…it also changes so it makes sense to change batteries, clocks and timers in the house to coincide with the time and it getting darker earlier.  You want to make sure to check your fire extinguisher levels and your fire alarm to ensure the batteries are up to date.  Close the vents to the basement/crawl space of your home and also winterize your irrigation system and pipes.\n\nMost pumpkin patches start around this time and the trees begin to change so that helps guide our decorating.  We add decorations that bring out more of the autumn colors - reds, oranges, greens and browns.  To decorate we use many inexpensive items…fake leaves and potpourri, pumpkins and scarecrows.  We put out our fall tablescape as well, which includes changing the placemats and napkins (scored during the Dillard’s New Year’s Day sale).   In our home, we really didn’t have to take down any of our day to day decorations because we don’t really decorate for the other seasons of the year.  We might shift things around, but all in all it is just about adding items.\n\nOctober - I will preference this by saying I don’t like having ghoulish items such as witches and vampires in our home.  I do however want to embrace my husband’s culture and educate our daughter regarding the day of the dead celebration.  So, I decided we would begin collecting pumpkins and happy scarecrows to put out as well as sugar skulls and photos that remind us of people who have passed on.  These items are just added to the décor I put out in September.\n\nNovember is when we remove the items added in October and if available will add more of the cornucopia’s and giving thanks type of items. We use this time to declutter our October décor items that we no longer want and pack away the items we used during the season or purchased during the end of season sales.\n\nDecember of course (really Thanksgiving night or the weekend after Thanksgiving) we begin removing all the fall items and add the Christmas items.  This of course is the longest decorating process we have because this is my favorite time of the year. I grew up in a home that was a Christmas wonderland and that is part of our family tradition and I want my daughter to experience the same feeling of joy. This like in November is the time when we declutter the fall/Thanksgiving items to ensure they should stay, we make note of any additional items we would like to obtain for the next season and we pack away the items in a way that they fall in the proper month order.\n\nJanuary, well…this is the time when we really focus on decluttering and organizing our décor items. Although we tackled some of the décor items in earlier months, if something was obtained after the fact, we forget to pack something up or we just don’t have a lot of time to go through the items due to life happenings, we pick this time to do it all. As I mentioned in our last post, we have containers that we use for each season, but if you don’t have any that’s ok…grab used boxes from work or a big box store and pack away your items. Make sure to protect them properly with packing paper if necessary and label the containers so you know what is in each box.\n\nAs you put items away, take a little longer look at each item. Did you use it this year? Do you like it? Is it broken or damaged in anyway. See Holiday decluttering is one that we don’t do often enough…these are the items that hold the most memories in them…this is where Clutter tends to come to stay and it is ok because they represent memories of your life…right?!?!?  Well…really that is a big ol’ cop out that we need to stop…it’s hard, but you can do it. Think, can someone else benefit from this item that you keep boxed up each year? Or is your house overflowing with stuff you put out for the holidays…to the point where people don’t have a place to sit? A perfect example, I have this motorized Mrs. Clause Doll that I have put out every year since I got it twelve years ago. In the past three or four years, family members have told me it creeps them out. It now has become a joke in our family and this year I really didn’t want to put it out. I decided, that I should get rid of it because I don’t care for it anymore and apparently neither does my extended family lol. Since it seems to creep out adults, I’d hate to traumatize my daughter by putting it out and scaring her. These are the types of decisions you need to make during this month. Let the items go…\n\nI know you can do it, so don’t fret…get in there and tackle that clutter! Organize those decorations and start your year off knowing that next September will be that much easier because of what you have already accomplished.\n\nIn an upcoming post, we discuss end of the season sales…how to prep for them and how to be successful.','THBOrganize:  The Ultimate Holiday Planning Guide (Part 2)','','inherit','closed','closed','','2927-revision-v1','','','2017-06-22 03:09:31','2017-06-22 03:09:31','',2927,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/2927-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5148,1,'2017-06-22 03:10:06','2017-06-22 03:10:06','[caption id=\"attachment_2921\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"https://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/army-holiday.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2921\" src=\"https://thehappinessbucket.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/army-holiday.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Photo Compliments of  www.army.mil \" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> Photo Compliments of www.army.mil[/caption]\n\nAs we enter this holiday season I want to encourage everyone to hold onto their joy. With all the hustle and bustle, stress levels tend to get higher than normal and by mid-month as you have gone to one too many holiday parties and the stress of purchasing that perfect gift starts to weigh on you…things can get out of control really quickly. I recently was on the receiving end of one such loss of joy and I tell ya your immediate desire is to just react, but I’m so happy that I didn\'t.\n\nYou see...on Monday, my mother and I decided to have a mother daughter shopping day. All had been going really well, until a lady who had let her joy fade lashed out at us in a parking lot with onslaught of cuss words.  In that moment, we had the choice of returning the favor and lashing back out at her, or to continue enjoying our day as though it never happened. My reaction was to ask my mom not to respond and then I busied myself in the car for a minute (looking for coupons) and said a few prayers in my head asking for peace and for God to control my response if we ran into the lady again in the store. We chose not to let that lady hijack our joy, but many people don’t. The truth is you never know why someone reacts to you the way they do and you can’t control it.  All you can do is control your behavior, so please remember this during this giving season - Give a smile instead of a frown, respond in love and not in anger, keep your Christmas joy and remember the reason for the season no matter how stressed you may become.  Just imagine how stressed/irritated God gets with us sometimes, what if he reacted by lashing out at us.  Just food for thought during this fabulous holiday season.\n\nHappy Holidays!\n\nPS: For all those serving in the military or who have served and their families, Thank you for your sacrifice!','Do You Let Others Hijack Your Joy?','','inherit','closed','closed','','2920-revision-v1','','','2017-06-22 03:10:06','2017-06-22 03:10:06','',2920,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/2920-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5149,1,'2017-06-22 03:10:25','2017-06-22 03:10:25','This is The Happiness Bucket’s (THB) favorite time of the year! People get a little bit nicer, foods get a little richer and people genuinely think of others. This is also the time of the year when THB starts their first major declutter of the year. Yes, we know it is the end of 2014 and not the beginning of 2015, but this is when we start. It makes sense because the fall is when you start swapping out your household décor, switching your clothes due to the changing seasons and prepping for household guests…not to mention those fabulous end of the season sales (we will discuss these in a separate post) and preparing your home for the new season. So we decided we would share with you THB’s process for September through January the best five months to organize, declutter and decorate.\n\nNow, before we go any further there is something each of you should know about THB. We believe that pinterest is there for inspiration and education. We also don’t feel it is necessary to spend an arm and a leg decluttering, organizing and decorating your home…you can and should do so within your means, lifestyle and taste level. As we all know, sometimes that means a zero budget and sometimes it means a much larger budget. That being said, we do feel seeing things organized and in like containers is very pleasing to the eye, but that container may be a decorated paper box or a set of bins. It doesn’t have to be the top of the line storage containers. So, as we share with you our method for decluttering, organizing and decorating please know this is meant to be educational and inspirational. We are very open to questions, so please feel free to ask if you have some.\n\nSo to start, In this post, I am going to share some of our key tips to this time of the year:\n<ol>\n	<li><strong>Shop for décor items at the end of each season</strong>. It has always been a family tradition to decorate our homes, specifically during these months, but we very rarely pay regular price for any of the items. This is the time when you can score most holiday items for 70 – 90% off. To do this, you have to shop during the end of the season. Yes we know…that item is just so dang cute…but wouldn’t it be much cuter at a discounted price?PSA - I, personally believe that if something is meant for you, it will be there when YOU need it to be. Stop thinking…oh it may be gone when I finally get the money for it. Ultimately, if it’s gone you don’t need it.\nSo the ideal time to shop for discounted décor is the day after the holiday, but if you can’t make it that day, go the week of or after the holiday.</li>\n	<li><strong>Store everything in a uniform fashion</strong>. Now, I choose to store everything in colored bins that match the seasons (orange – fall/Halloween and red/green – Christmas). Please know that colored bins are not necessary. If you can’t afford it, please do not run out and buy them today. If you can’t find the one you are looking for, switch to something else and use colored labels or tape to signify what is in the container. In my case, I regularly use cardboard boxes to store items until I find the proper bins during the after season sale. I can then stock up on what I need. The containers will be considerably cheaper and it also allows you time to go through your décor and declutter items that are broken or have lived their lives at your home. (No I’m not referring to your children)One thing to note, sometimes the bins are not marked, so make sure to scan them to see. If they are discounted, especially if it is a specific color like orange, red or green.</li>\n	<li><strong>Group like things together and based on how you will unload them</strong>. This always helps when you are trying to find something. For example, last season I had all the fall and Halloween items in one orange bin…it was tight, but everything fit. All the fall items were on top, because they are retrieved first and then the Halloween items were on the bottom. This year, I was on the hunt for another orange container (and because I forgot I actually still am) because I obtained additional Halloween items at the end of the season sale and they all won’t fit in one container any more. Until then, I will use a paper box for the Fall items and put the Halloween items in the bin I already own. I won’t give up just yet, because I always have the New Years Sales (see our later post on End of the Season Sales.</li>\n	<li><strong>Give your items a home.</strong> This sounds funny but this is always important. No matter what you are organizing, give the item a home. It makes it more likely that things will be put back where they belong and it also makes it easier to retrieve. If your blankets are always on the second shelf of the hall closet, then that is where you should put it when it is not in use. I think I amazed my husband when we first got married when he would ask me where something was and I would just rattle off its location without a second thought. He thought I was just amazing I’m sure lol. The reality was that I just had a specific home for the item and I knew where that was without having to guess. This helps your guests and the members of your household as well as yourself, because you don’t always have to be the one retrieving everything all the time. My husband, soon learned after a couple of times where to find the item and the only time he needed to ask is if the item was “out of stock” or for some reason wasn’t at home (ok that made me laugh).So you should be asking yourself, what is this items address? I would encourage you to include the others in your household in determining where the items address should be. This will make it more likely that the item will be returned to the proper location…which in turn will keep you from fussing that the items are returned or they were put in the wrong place. I will also warn you that it may take a couple of times before everyone gets the items address. Try not to blow a gasket, just work with them to get it right and use labels when necessary.</li>\n	<li> <strong>Label Label Label</strong> - This is the mantra of any good organizer. This actually goes hand and hand with giving your items a home. Now, I wouldn’t suggest labelling EVERYTHING, but I would say to label things that make sense for you and your household. This makes it easy for those who aren’t familiar with the system to retrieve or return something. In the scenario of my Holiday boxes, I previously knew that the one orange bin held Fall/Halloween items, so it was not labelled. Now that I am splitting these items I will need to label the bins, because although I know what is in each one, my husband does not…yet.</li>\n	<li> <strong>Set décor limits</strong> – Now this is very subjective, but you should base your limit on the size of your home, storage, budget and individual taste. Don’t cram your storage area or home with STUFF when you barely have room for your clothes. I am not one to say don’t have décor items, but be mindful that the “stuff” needs a home and if you don’t have a home to give it, maybe you shouldn’t have it. Hard reality, but it is a real truth. Additionally, you don’t want to have so much stuff that your home looks like Dillard’s or Macy’s threw up in your house. I find this happens because people hold on to old décor much longer than they should. We have items that I received from my mom when I first moved out. As the years went on I picked up additional items so my décor for each season grew a little, but I always reviewed what I had and let go of items that were end of life in my home. This is the hard one for some and where simple décor becomes clutter.</li>\n</ol>\n&nbsp;\n\nSo that completes our list of tips for this season and in our next post we will dive deeper into what the THB does during these glorious five months. Now, we understand we are a little late in posting these tips, but the year isn’t over and we believe this will help you take an honest look at your situation, without mimicking ours. So your homework is to think about and document what you typically do during the months of September, October and November. Since these months have past, you can also pull out the décor from those times and make sure they are still needed and that they are stored properly and in the most efficient manner. Yes people, I know Thanksgiving has past, but I also know you are more than likely about to pull out all your holiday décor. What better time to say enough is enough and to jump right in with both feet. Plus, you have probably pulled out everything to get to your Christmas decorations anyway. If not now, you can definitely plan to do it in January, but that will give you a LOT to do.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nHappy Decluttering and Happy Holiday’s!','THBOrganize:  The Ultimate Holiday Planning Guide (Part 1)','','inherit','closed','closed','','2909-revision-v1','','','2017-06-22 03:10:25','2017-06-22 03:10:25','',2909,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/2909-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5151,1,'2017-06-22 03:12:53','2017-06-22 03:12:53','A few years ago I started using the phrase, \"It is what it is.\"  I recently reflected on it and I honestly have no idea where I got it from, but it is and has been my personal life changing motto.  I remember when I was planning my wedding and my mom was focusing on every little detail. I would tell her repeatedly throughout the planning process, \"Mom, it is what it is...it\'s not going to be perfect\".  She HATEDDDDDDDDDDDD that saying and it would frustrate her whenever I would say that.  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 and 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.\"  I went on to explain that no wedding was ever perfect and I refused to focus so much on the details that I miss the overall purpose of the day.  The reality is if I had focused on every little thing that went wrong I would have lost my mind.  The day wouldn\'t be and wasn\'t any less beautiful because I only had food labels on one buffet and not the other...that family wouldn\'t sit where I assigned them...that my dress wasn\'t on properly...none of that changed that this was one of the happiest days of my life...in fact those things added to my story.\n\nWell, fast forward two years later and guess who has come over to the dark side lol...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 because I realized she had finally let go and just not stressed about something.  I used the sitation of my wedding and this motto to show you that we are all faced with situations that are not of our liking or that have the potential to define who and what we are...we just have to decide if we are going to let it.  \n\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 this well...I mean come on I have panic moments and freakouts like the best of them, but I regularly try to bring myself back to think about what is really important and what is God trying to tell me with this situation.  It 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.\n\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?\n\n[youtube=http://youtu.be/c62Aqdlzvqk]\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>','Motivational Moment:  What Defines You?','','inherit','closed','closed','','2436-revision-v1','','','2017-06-22 03:12:53','2017-06-22 03:12:53','',2436,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/2436-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5153,1,'2017-06-22 03:13:56','2017-06-22 03:13:56','I struggled with this choice and went to google and pinterest for direction on how to do this properly.  I left my research with no clear answer LOL so I had to make a choice and hope for the best.  Now I can say that hope to only have the stuff in storage in general through August or September.  Regardless of the status of our home at that time, we will begin to need our winter items around September/October so we will have to swap some things out either way.  So we are talking about 5 - 6 months of storage.  \n\nI decided to go with a 30 gallon plastic bin that I found at wal-mart for $7.97.  You can choose whichever you want, and honestly you could probably catch them on sale if you go after Christmas or around the time when they put those on sale but I didn\'t have that option due to our timeline.  I chose this particular bin mainly because of its size and price.  I wasn\'t trying to go broke buying bins and I knew it was going to the storage facility so it didn\'t need to be \"pretty\".  I also purchased some cedar disks to place in the bins to help preserve the items inside and finally I purchased a package of tissue paper.  Now this made me a little sad because I was hoping my stash at the house would be enough but all of that tissue paper was colored and I didn\'t want to risk it bleeding onto our clothes.\n\nWe commenced to packing our clothes.  Each of us got a bin for our clothes.  I packed all my \"pre-pregnancy\" clothes in one since I know I won\'t need them until mid-August.  I then used another bin to pack winter clothes.  My husband packed jeans in one (yes he has a LOT of jeans) and then his winter stuff in another.  I have to admit I ended up using the remaining space in his jean bean to pack my suit coats.  So we ended up with five bins of clothes in storage.  Can you believe it!!!!!   And before you ask, yes we decluttered items we could no longer wear or that we no longer wanted to give to goodwill.  It is just amazing how much we had crammed into our two closets and dresser drawers.  Unfortunately, I didn\'t take a before picture of the closets but here is an after view of them.  \n\nThe sad thing is they still aren\'t all that empty!!!  But these are the items we feel we still will need to wear in the coming months.  Understanding we are in the middle of two seasons and at the end of that time we will be in the mid of another season so we have a few warm things mixed in with our summer items.\n\nWhat did I do with the tissue paper you ask?  Well, in the bins where I packed dresses, dress pants and suit coats, I placed tissue paper in between the items to help not wrinkle them and just because one of the blogs I read suggested it.  It\'s just like when you pack clothes for stores, they always place paper in with the clothes.  I also added a piece on top of each bin and placed the cedar disks on the paper so they weren\'t directly placed on clothing.\n\nFinally, I placed a label on the side of the bin to identify what type of clothes was in each bin.  This will prevent us from having to open each one to find something.  One trick I learned was to adhere a shipping label envelope (plastic sleeves used by UPS/Fedex) big side only (not the label side) and that way you can insert a sheet of paper that tells you what is in each bin and if for some reason the contents changes you can easily swap out the paper without having to remove a label.  I have to give a lady at work props for sharing that tip with me.  She was packing some items at our office for storage and I saw her doing this...I was wondering what she was doing and when I saw the end result I was of course in awe LOL.\n\nHappy Decluttering!!!!\n\n','Operation Putting House On Market:  How To Store Your Clothes','','inherit','closed','closed','','2410-revision-v1','','','2017-06-22 03:13:56','2017-06-22 03:13:56','',2410,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/2410-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5174,1,'2017-07-20 16:46:26','2017-07-20 16:46:26','House in Order - Estate Planning Program Details','House in Order Landing Page','','inherit','open','closed','','house-in-order-landing-page','','','2017-07-20 16:46:57','2017-07-20 16:46:57','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/House-in-Order-Landing-Page.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(5175,1,'2017-07-20 16:46:30','2017-07-20 16:46:30','House in Order - Estate Planning Program','House in Order Header','','inherit','open','closed','','house-in-order-header','','','2017-07-20 16:47:51','2017-07-20 16:47:51','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/House-in-Order-Header.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(5177,1,'2017-07-20 16:58:25','2017-07-20 16:58:25','House in Order - Estate Planning Logo','House in Order Logo 200 x 200','','inherit','open','closed','','house-in-order-logo-200-x-200','','','2017-07-20 16:58:52','2017-07-20 16:58:52','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/House-in-Order-Logo-200-x-200.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(5178,1,'2017-07-20 17:24:15','2017-07-20 17:24:15','','House in Order FB','','inherit','open','closed','','house-in-order-fb','','','2017-07-20 17:24:51','2017-07-20 17:24:51','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/House-in-Order-FB.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(5180,1,'2017-07-20 18:04:47','2017-07-20 18:04:47','House in Order LogoHouse in Order - Estate Planning Program Logo','House in Order Logo 200 x 200','','inherit','open','closed','','house-in-order-logo-200-x-200-2','','','2017-07-20 18:05:27','2017-07-20 18:05:27','',0,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/House-in-Order-Logo-200-x-200-1.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(5182,1,'2017-07-25 21:46:00','2017-07-25 21:46:00','<h1 class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-hd-info=\"3\" data-header=\"3\" data-doc-rid=\"3lm6eb4f9f16ba4fc44de8550d341d4254138\"><span class=\"zw-portion\">Keep it happy</span></h1>\r\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\"><span class=\"zw-portion\">Organization is a very personal process and we may venture into a few sensitive subject areas.

Improve Productivity?</h2>\r\nRecently in our Productivity Toolbox Facebook group I talked about routing and how it helps to improve overall productivity by saving you time and money.  What is routing?  it is the act or process by which you plan out and route your journey so you follow the path of least resistance.  For example, lets say today you have a meeting you need to attend, you need to drop off a sales packet and run by a supplier.  In planning those events for today I would map out the path these take and basically make a circle. Determine if you have any downtime between meetings and plan in a site visit or look up the nearest Starbucks where you can work.  You also would need to ensure you have the files you need to work on while at Starbucks.\r\n\r\nYou see unless you have a delivery service, most people don\'t realize how much time is truly wasted when they fail to route their day.  In the above mentioned scenario it is often that people will go to work then go to the supplier, then back to work...to leave 45 minutes later to drop off the sales packet, etc.  The result of this is wasted time and money.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://ctt.ec/UB4F9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img class=\"alignright\" src=\"http://clicktotweet.com/img/tweet-graphic-3.png\" alt=\"Tweet: Start by routing one day and see how it helps increase your productivity. Learn how here http://ctt.ec/UB4F9+ #productivity #timemanagement\" /></a>Once you begin the process of routing, you will find that early planning helps you better plan your route.  You may start by just routing one day and see how it helps, but think about how applying routing to your entire week will save you a lot of time.  How planning one particular day of the week as the day to schedule out of office meetings or maybe you service one side of the city on certain days?  The possibilities are endless, just think outside the box about what you are doing on a daily basis and see where you can route your activities.\r\n<h2>How Do You \"Route\" to Improve Productivity?</h2>\r\nSo, now that I\'ve told you all about this fabulousness, how do you do it?  Well, it is easier than you think.  In a nutshell, you figure out all the things you need to do for the day and then you map out a plan to accomplish it with as little effort as possible.  So, start by looking at your calendar for today...does it require you to leave your office or your desk?  If you are a solopreneur or someone trying to work a full-time job and build a business at a same time, I encourage you to include your personal items as well.  Why?  because you are often times struggling to find pockets of time in your life as a whole, not just your business.  Alright, so lets look at an example:\r\n<h3>Create your List of Things To Do</h3>\r\nStart the process of routing by just writing down everything that needs to be done for the day. On your schedule today you have to do the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h3><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-49 \" src=\"http://productivitytoolbox.thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/checklist-1643781_1920-227x300.png\" alt=\"Productivity List\" width=\"179\" height=\"236\" /></h3>\r\nup your child from school at 4 (10 miles from home)</li>\r\n 	<li></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Take the dog to the vet (which closes at 5 (5 miles from home)</li>\r\n 	<li>Drop off your upcoming event invitations at the printer</li>\r\n 	<li>Conduct</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h3></h3>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>a consultation with a potential client</li>\r\n 	<li>Pick\r\n<h3></h3>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>Go grocery shopping for dinner (2 miles from home)</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h3></h3>\r\nGet stamps at the post office to mail the invitations</li>\r\n 	<li>Take my child to practice (whatever practice they have where I typically just sit)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Begin the Routing Process</h3>\r\nIn looking at what has to be done, see where things can be done together.  In looking at this I would route it as follows (I have included the why):\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li> I\'d work to conduct the consultation with the potential client as early as possible.  You want to make sure you are fresh.  This also gives the client time to get settled and allows you to avoid rush hour.  You want to be able to wear something a little more professional as you are a representative of your business.</li>\r\n 	<li>Depending on when the consultation is I would drop off the event invites at the printer before or after the consultation.</li>\r\n 	<li>On the way home I\'d go to the grocery store and knock out the grocery shopping, at the same time I\'d pick up the stamps (assuming I absolutely want to add a stamp, otherwise I\'d just plan to hand deliver these to the post office and have them stamp them there with the machine). This allows me to drop off the groceries on, change my clothes and pick up the dog (I would also try to figure out a less busy day to grocery shop if possible).</li>\r\n 	<li>I\'d then take the dog to the vet on my way to pick up the kids from school.</li>\r\n 	<li>Take my child to their practice and continue to work on the consultation report from that morning.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nBy developing this routing schedule, I know exactly what I need have to do everything I need to do.\r\n<h2>The Productivity Benefits of Routing</h2>\r\nWhen you start routing your calendar, you begin to identify your optimal times of the day and week.  You will begin to see how much easier things are and how much time you can recover.  You will begin to make deliberate decisions as to when and how you are going to do something.  No more doing things randomly, each action is calculated as to how it effects the day and your desired deliverables.\r\n<h3>The Birth of Batching</h3>\r\nSuccessful routing eventually grows into batching, which we will talk about in a later post.  You will also begin to see patterns and areas where you can move things around.  Why do you grocery shop during the week?  Can you pick a different day of the week when you aren\'t as busy or are naturally in the area.  You will figure out when you have must haves versus like to haves or I wanna\'s.  You will also be able to eliminate things that you really don\'t need to do.\r\n\r\nSo I\'m curious, prior to reading this post had you ever routed?  If so, share any ideas or ways you use routing to improve your overall productivity.  Is this your first time hearing about  routing?  What are some ways that you will try to incorporate it in your day?','Improve Productivity by Routing Your Day','','inherit','closed','closed','','5124-revision-v1','','','2017-08-08 21:20:24','2017-08-08 21:20:24','',5124,'http://thehappinessbucket.com/5124-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5230,1,'2017-08-08 21:23:28','2017-08-08 21:23:28','<h2>How Does Routing Improve Productivity?</h2>\r\nRecently in our Productivity Toolbox Facebook group I talked about routing and how it helps to improve overall productivity by saving you time and money.  What is routing?  it is the act or process by which you plan out and route your journey so you follow the path of least resistance.  For example, lets say today you have a meeting you need to attend, you need to drop off a sales packet and run by a supplier.  In planning those events for today I would map out the path these take and basically make a circle.

Determine if you have any downtime between meetings and plan in a site visit or look up the nearest Starbucks where you can work.  You also would need to ensure you have the files you need to work on while at Starbucks.\r\n\r\nYou see unless you have a delivery service, most people don\'t realize how much time is truly wasted when they fail to route their day.  In the above mentioned scenario it is often that people will go to work then go to the supplier, then back to work...to leave 45 minutes later to drop off the sales packet, etc.  The result of this is wasted time and money.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://ctt.ec/UB4F9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img class=\"alignright\" src=\"http://clicktotweet.com/img/tweet-graphic-3.png\" alt=\"Tweet: Start by routing one day and see how it helps increase your productivity.

In observing small businesses around the area and on online, I have found that many are missing some basic business processes.  Now, I know many of us learn on the job, myself included...but there are a few business processes that are important for you to get right out of the gate.\r\n\r\nNow, don\'t fret if you find that you need to resolve a number of these areas in your business. Business processes aren\'t necessarily a small business owner\'s specialty, your craft is...but don\'t worry because it is my specialty and I\'m gonna help you through it all. By making a few of these small changes in your processes, you can turn from being a reactive business to a proactive one and drive potential customers to your product or service, instead of to your competitors.\r\n\r\nSo lets get into these business process tips:\r\n<h2>Anticipate Your Customer\'s Needs</h2>\r\nWhen you are creating processes in your business, you should do so by anticipating your customer\'s needs.  This enables you to prepare to answer their questions and deliver the supporting items to help meet their needs.  By taking this small step, it makes your customers feel understood, supported and safe doing business with you.\r\n<h2>Create Business Policies</h2>\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.  A few of the common policies you need to have in place are:  refund/return/cancellation policy, payment policy, travel policy, etc.  Think about the things you would want to know about a company if you were the customer and ensure you have those same policies and guidelines in place.\r\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-5743 alignleft\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Reactive-Proactive-200x300.png\" alt=\"Reactive vs. Proactive Business Processes\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nAnother area where you can anticipate need is by having a frequently asked questions (FAQ) list.  You can easily build this list from the questions people regularly ask you.  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 then, 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\n&nbsp;\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.  For example, a landscaper needs a customer to make specific decisions or provide specific information.  This information will help you 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<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\nI hope you have found this information helpful.  Feel free to

brainstorming is something that can honestly make or break your project. It is the time you and/or your team comes together to think of the pros and the cons, all the things that need to happen, and the assumed order in which those things should take place. It\'s a time when your team feels heard and all ideas are considered safe.\r\n\r\nNo matter whether the team is made up of internal employees or a Client and their employees, it\'s a great time to build team moral and the overall excitement for the project. As the team leader you can observe how your team is working together to identify problem areas, personality conflicts and overall strengths and weaknesses.\r\n\r\nI love this time in a project, because it really shows what I have to work with...it is the one time everyone is a little vulnerable and is on the same level. It\'s new beginnings and the energy that enters the room that is truly amazing.\r\n<h2>How to Start the Brainstorming Process</h2>\r\nThere are many ways to go about the brainstorming process. The one thing as a small business owner you don\'t want to do, is brainstorm completely by yourself. You also don\'t want to conduct a brainstorming session with non-workers. You need worker bees to give their input and buy-in because they are the ones really doing the work. If you are able to, you want to get some feedback from the people who are actually using or those that you want to use the system, product, space, etc. These individuals in the project management world are referred to as your key Stakeholders, Clients or Target Market. The people you will be servicing or who will benefit the most from whatever it is you are providing. The worst thing you can do is create something for yourself assuming others will think it is just as great as your mind makes it out to be. The reality is that you aren\'t the customer. You are the person providing the service or product or developing the system. You are biased so you need to get as many unbiased opinions as possible.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignleft wp-image-5788 size-medium\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/small-business-brainstorming-200x300.png\" alt=\"How to Brainstorm as a Small Business | www.thehappinessbucket.com\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" />This is how you build a full plan...this is how you begin identifying requirements and risks. This is the one piece of the puzzle you don\'t want to miss or it could be extremely detrimental to your timeline and possibly your project as a whole.\r\n<h2>Brainstorming Techniques</h2>\r\nOn <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thehappinessbucket/\">Instagram</a>, we covered many different brainstorming techniques.  Lets talk about a two of my favorities:\r\n<h3>The Sticky Note Brainstorming Technique</h3>\r\nOne of my favorites is the sticky note technique. It is basically when you give all participants a stack of sticky notes and you give them a topic and say go! They begin to write down things that need to be done or questions that they may have around the topic. You put those under the section so everyone can see all the input. By seeing it in this fashion, some of the items will trigger other thoughts and action items and in some cases, it may breed a brand new topic area that you hadn\'t thought about.  Participants can also add an identifier of agreement on the sticky to \"bump it up\" in importance.\r\n<h3>The Kanban Board Brainstorming Technique</h3>\r\nAnother favorite of mine is the kanban board. You basically take a number of different columns/channels and you create a grid on the wall/board/sheet of paper. The most common categories I use are - backlog, active, pending, complete/closed and hold. You aren\'t bound by these specific categories, but they are very common. Every to do, issue, and question goes under the backlog section. Your team then would work from this master list ...picking off things that are most important (this can be done by view or using a scoring method). They move the items through the categories until they reach the completed/closed column. Usually there are rules as to how <img class=\"size-medium wp-image-5787 alignright\" src=\"http://thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Brainstorming-Session-300x300.png\" alt=\"Brainstorming Session | www.thehappinessbucket.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />many items you can have in play at one time...and sometimes there is a limit as to how many low vs. high items you can pick at a time. These rules are determined by your project team.\r\n<h3>The Mindmap Brainstorming Technique</h3>\r\nThe mindmap brainstorming technique rounds out my top favorites.  This technique uses a tree root type of development system.  Each thought brings on other thoughts which builds out your plan or root system of thought.  You start with one topic/idea, and you let that branch off into other areas that need to be explored.  Each area can branch off into areas related to them, ultimately creating a full root system of ideas.  This is a great technique to use when you have no idea where to start. Let your thoughts dictate which branch to develop and brainstorm.\r\n\r\nNow there are other techniques out there, but these are three of my favorites.\r\n<h2>Brainstorming as a Solopreneur</h2>\r\nIf you are a solopreneur or a small business owner with only one employee, don\'t fret...you can use brainstorming methods too. You just won\'t have a lot of input from others...it will mainly be just you and your employee if you have one. I often times will recommend letting an independent person look at your brainstorming results and see if they can poke a hole in it or ask questions maybe you didn\'t ask. This is a great peer to peer exercise, because we are sometimes so close to something that we can\'t see the forest for the trees.  You can also conduct a focus group with some individuals from your target market or your peer group.  The key is you want to get someone else\'s feedback prior to proceeding.\r\n<h3>The Benefits of a Success Brainstorming Session</h3>\r\nOnce your brainstorming session is over you can review the information received and often times it will jump start the development of your project plan.  It can begin to build your issues and/or action log.  It can also help you develop your project requirements list.  A successful brainstorming session is definitely a valuable tool that you should use on as many projects as possible.\r\n\r\nSo how often do you use brainstorming on your projects?

It is the time your team comes together to think of the pros and the cons, all the things that need to happen, and the assumed order in which those things should take place. It\'s a time when your team feels heard and no idea is a stupid idea. It\'s a great time to build team moral and the overall excitement for the project. As the team leader you can observe how your team is working together to identify problem areas, personality conflicts and overall strengths and weaknesses.\r\n\r\nI love this time in a project because it really shows me what I have to work with...it is the one time everyone is a little vulnerable and is on the same level. It\'s new beginnings and the energy that enters the room is amazing.\r\n<h2>How to Start the Brainstorming Process</h2>\r\nThere are many ways to go about the brainstorming process. The one thing as a project manager you don\'t want to do is to brainstorm by\r\nyourself. You also don\'t want to conduct it with a room full of executives. You need worker bees to give their input and buy-in because they are the ones really doing the work. If you are able to, you want to get some feedback from your key Stakeholders/Target Market. The people you will be servicing or who will benefit the most from whatever it is you are providing. The worst thing you can do is create something for yourself assuming others will think it is just as great as your mind makes it out to be. The reality is that you aren\'t the customer. You are the person providing the service/product. You have biased so you need to get as many unbiased opinions as possible.\r\n\r\nThis is how you build a full plan...this is how you begin identifying requirements and risks. This is the one piece of the puzzle you don\'t want to miss or it could be extremely detrimental to your timeline and possibly your project as a whole\r\n<h2>Brainstorming Techniques</h2>\r\nOn <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thehappinessbucket/\">Instagram</a>, we covered many different brainstorming techniques. One of my favorites is the sticky note technique. It is basically when you give all participants a stack of sticky notes and you give them a topic and say go! They begin to write down things that need to be done or questions that they may have around the topic. You put those under the section so everyone can see all the input. By seeing it in this fashion, some of the items will trigger other thoughts and action items and in some cases, it may breed a brand new topic area that you hadn\'t thought <img class=\"wp-image-112 alignright\" src=\"http://productivitytoolbox.thehappinessbucket.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/brainstorm-1076587_640.jpg\" alt=\"Brainstorming Ideas\" width=\"392\" height=\"261\" />about.\r\n\r\nAnother favorite of mine is the kanban board. You basically take a number of different columns/channels and you create a grid on the wall/board/sheet of paper. The most common categories I use are - backlog, active, pending, complete/closed and hold. You aren\'t bound by these specific categories, but they are very common. Every to do, issue, and question goes under the backlog section. Your team then would work from this master list ...picking off things that are most important (this can be done by view or using a scoring method). They move the items through the categories until they reach the completed/closed column. Usually there are rules as to how many items you can have in play at one time...and sometimes there is a limit as to how many low vs. high items you can pick. These rules are determined by your project team.\r\n\r\nNow there are other techniques out there, but these are my favorites.\r\n<h2>Small Business Brainstorming</h2>\r\nIf you are a solopreneur or a small business owner with more than one employee, don\'t fret...you can use brainstorming methods too. You just won\'t have a lot of input from others...it will mainly be just you and your employee if you have one. I often times will recommend you letting some independent person look at your brainstorming results and see if they can poke a hole in it or ask questions maybe you didn\'t ask. This is a great peer to peer exercise, because we are sometimes so close to something that we can\'t see the forest for the trees.  You can also conduct a focus group with some individuals from your target market or your peer group.  The key is you want to get someone else\'s feedback prior to proceeding.\r\n<h3>The Benefits of a Success Brainstorming Session</h3>\r\nOnce your brainstorming session is over you can review the information received and often times it will jump start the development of your project plan.  It can begin to build your issues and/or action log.  It can also help you develop your project requirements list.  A successful brainstorming session is definitely a valuable tool that you should use on as many projects as possible.\r\n\r\nSo how often do you use brainstorming on your projects?
