Have you ever sat down and done an exercise called, Start, Start, Continue. We used to do this once a year where I worked. It was a great time for reflection and forward thinking. At the beginning of the school year even if we don’t have little kiddies it is a good time to do this. (And change your batteries in your smoke detectors).

Start: What is something you have been putting off doing? Learning a new skill, taking up a new hobby? Next month many Community Schools programs will be offering classes at local high schools. I am excited because I get to be one of these teachers this year teaching home and office organizing.

Stop: Being so hard on yourself, recognize your successes and tell yourself, good job. Stop that bad habit—whatever that is to you. This is an ongoing one for me. I bought me a sign that says “Enjoy The Journey”, I often get caught up in wanting to be finished instead of enjoying the journey.

Continue: For me that is organizing anything and everything all the time and quilting, quilting, quilting. I am passionate about both.

I could be here all day coming up with things in each category. We would love to hear your Start, Stop, Continue plans.
