Today I was watching Mary Poppins with my 3 year old daughter - its one of her favourites at the moment - when inspiration hit. Its so true that you can find a gem of an idea in the weirdest places.
Mary Poppins said "In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun, you find the fun and SNAP that jobs a game!". This can really apply to organising, it is classed as a chore to most of us, but something that does need to be done, and all we need to find is the fun in the job and it becomes less boring! This is why so many professional organisers are keen on clients rewarding themselves for each part of the organising that they do.
Here are some great ways that you can reward yourself, so why not set yourself an organising goal right now (either for a small or large task), and give yourself the promise of one of these rewards when you finish - it will make the job much easier to complete!
We all deserve a pat on the back for a job well done!
1 A magazine and a coffee in peace and quiet for half an hour
2 A lazy lie in
3 A bath
4 A holiday
5 A meal out
6 A glass of wine
7 Listening to a favourite album
8 Watching a TV programme
9 Watching a film
10 A long walk
11 An exercise class
12 Starting a new hobby that you have always wanted to do (you have the time now!)
13 Taking up a new sport
14 A night class
15 Delegating a task - a cleaner could be just what you need now that you are back in control of things
The list is endless................
I am going to reward myself more for my organising tasks in my own home, I can definately say it makes life more pleasurable! Hope you find this helps!
