how

One reason to ask for help is that a problem that looks complicated to you may have a simple solution that is obvious to someone else.

free pass

Follow in someone else’s footsteps if it is a relief to see the path already created.

less-on

You will find a way to do something you didn’t think you could do or a faster and easier way to do something you do regularly. This will happen when you are ready and focused.

orthodoxy

A different technique or strategy could work twice as well. This is why it is important to know the origin of the techniques you rely on.

the new blindfold

If you have a habit of buying things to distract yourself from your past, it reaches its logical conclusion when you start buying things to distract yourself from your clutter.

simply new

Change occurs more easily if you don’t use the desire for change as an excuse for drama.

new design

You can take up a lot of time trying to make clutter look better. Instead, remove the clutter, then make the space look better.

back in

When you get your energy back, don't just dive right back into the same project that depleted your energy in the first place. Pace yourself, or change your approach.

steps

Decluttering in three steps: 1. Collect your energy. 2. Look around. 3. Make good decisions.

speaker’s platform

You can’t design a solution for others by assuming that they will start from where you are now.

smart soles

If you are really smart you can figure out how to get to your destination in bare feet — but it is so much easier if you have a good pair of shoes.

least effort

Take the easiest next step forward that you can think of.

stance

If dance looks completely mysterious, it is probably because no one showed you how to stand.

spiral down

If you never change your approach, your life is doomed to be a repeating cascade of failures.

on one hand

When you are working on unfamiliar ground, handle one thing at a time.

ready for something new

Some of your stuff is so old that it doesn’t make business sense to take good care of it, but take good care of it anyway. Think of it as practicing the habit that you will use with the new thing that eventually replaces the old thing.

rehash

Only your friends and imitators want to hear the details of your successes.

express

For your single most important goal at the moment, there is a way to reach it that does not include all the delays found in the obvious or conventional approach.

today 2.0

When you don’t know where to go next next with your life, do what you are doing already or what you think you should be doing, then find a way to do a better version of it.

promise me this

Don’t spend much time extracting promises that may not mean anything in the end. Instead look for ways to create confidence and peace of mind through your own doing.
