Smart Habit Saturday

Welcome to Smart Habit Saturday! I have some news for you this week. I know there are a lot of people that are thinking of joining us but they haven't made the plunge yet. They might be wondering if they can really do it. They might be wondering if it is worth humiliating themselves publicly in order to make the changes they want to make. I'm not saying it's easy. It takes a brave soul to share their weaknesses and struggles with the world. All I can say is it's worth it.

This week I read in the Ensign a talk by by D. Todd Christofferson to the men of the Church but it applies to us women too, "True manhood (or womanhood) is not always measured by the fruits of one's labors but by the labors themselves - by one's striving. Though he (she) will make some sacrifices and deny himself (herself) some pleasures in the course of honoring his (her) commitments, the true man (woman) leads a rewarding life." " We all know that it's the journey that matters. We have a commitment to our families to do our best in taking care of them.

That brings me to my news. Anyone who participates in SHS for two weeks in a row by the end of March will be entered into a drawing to win 5 free Organizing Bags, three large and two small! Won't that be fun? I would love your help spreading the news so let your readers know that now is the time to join us at Smart Habit Saturday. I don't want to be responsible for leaving anyone out of the drawing so once you have completed two weeks of SHS please e-mail me and I will put your name on the list. If you have been participating all along go ahead and e-mail me now.

This has been a stressful week for me and I didn't do my best with my habits. I have been busy writing talks. It's not like I have spent every minute working on them but I have spent every minute worrying about them instead of thinking about my habits! I have a new plan that might help me in the future. I'm going to make Joe's Goals my homepage so I don't forget to check my habits off every day.

I'm not going to make any new habits for next week. I'm going to keep working on what I've got because I really want to get better at keeping the kitchen counter cleaned off.

Week #7 - Playing with my kids - I did this all but about two days.

I'm not even going to talk about going to bed without snacks this last week!

Week #6 Kitchen and Studio clutter free- Working on it.
Week #5 Clear Counters - Working on it.
Week #4 Clear Desk Off - Working on it.
Week #3 Planner review - Habit!
Week #2 Prayer - Habit!
Week #1 Clean the toilet once a day – Slipping a little.

How did your habits go this week?
