Week One Goals

What prompted the start of a blog? A dear friend said "reality check not a pay check." A new reality the we need organization and a strong focus. So with an out-of-control life, where do we start. That has been the problem in the last year. We haven't started anything, because there is no defined place to start and it's simply overwhelming, and fearful of unearthing just more stuff that needs done.

Although, just 15 minutes a day over the past year translates to 5475 minutes, which is 91 hours or 12 -- eight hour working days. Every day we have said, gosh if we just had a week off nothing going on, we'd get a everything caught up. The reality is: we had almost two weeks of time in the bag, but we wasted it away in 15 minute increments.

So the goal for the next week:

15 minutes a day
(each day, 15 minutes to review the checking account balance, to file papers, organize account numbers, shred or throw away, etc)

Focus on touching each "thing" once -- deal with it the first time.

Work two hours a day on increasing the profit to the business.
