Smart Habit Saturday

If you are new to SHS find out all about it here: Getting Started with SHS. Click here to read more SHS posts. Please don't forget to link back to this post so your readers can find out more about SHS.

Anyone who has participated in SHS for two weeks in a row by the end of March will be entered into a drawing to win free Organizing Bags! E-mail me the links to your posts and I will enter you in the drawing. You have until Sunday, April 1st to get your entry in. Monday April 2nd I will choose a random winner. I will even video record the drawing so you can experience the thrill with us! I can’t wait! These are the people that have entered so far. Tammy, Kassie, Dana, Michelle, Tirzah, Kara, Lucy, Lorie, Cheri, and Betty. If you e-mailed me and you don’t see your name, please try again.


March isn't ever over yet and I am already excited about having another drawing next month. I'm going to be giving away a copy of The Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me, signed just for you, you Lazy Organizer! We're getting more organized so we might as well put "become a millionaire" on our to-do lists right? Look for some or all of my April habits to come from this book. If you want to do them with me then go ahead and buy the book on Amazon for $5 and you can give it to a friend after you win your free signed copy from me! The requirement for the drawing will be to participate in SHS for any three weeks in April. I hope it's not too much to ask you to mention the drawing in your posts. You don't have to of course but we want to get the word out about SHS don't we? I might even throw in some fun ways for all my blog readers to get entries in the drawing so stay tuned!

I had another great week! My habit of staying off the computer after breakfast is still going strong and I did a good job of serving lunch by noon. Some days I prepared it and some days the kids prepared it but as long as we started by 11:00 we were ready to eat by 12:00. Normally we wait until we're all starving and grumpy!

My studio is looking so much better with all my new Smart Habits that I think I am ready to start tackling my paperwork on a daily basis. I said I THINK!!! For my new habit I'm going to spend 15 minutes every day opening mail and filing papers.

Here are the habits I have been working on this year. Some of them are habits and some of them still need a lot of work but all of them have improved my life! Notice I ditched Joe's Goals? It was so fun to use but I just couldn't keep up with it!

Have lunch ready by Noon
Turn Off Computer during chores
Become a Dresser, Playing games with my kids and reading my Church Magazine
Kitchen and studio clutter free
Clear Counters
Clear Desk
Review Planner
Daily Prayer
Clean Toilet
