W hen a tidying or decluttering job beckons, have you wished for a Magic Wand? It's BlogBoost time, and in a comment on Yesterday's post, Tamara asked, "do you have a magic ingredient to boost motivation?" The one that immediately came to mind was - Magic wand tip #1: Set a timer for 10-15 minutes, & do a '27 fling boogie!' (This is also a great way to motivate kids!) Salt lamp Have the 3 Magic bins ready (toss/ recycle / donate ) and a small basket for things which belong in another area. Quickly find 27 things to put in the bins. When the timer goes off, decide if you're done, or if you want to keep going for a bit; remember, any progress is PROGRESS! (I may take a break, then set the timer again - or call it 'Done!' after 1 Boogie - depends on the day!) Another option to the timer - set a stopwatch (i use an app on my phone) , and time yourself on a task! I just put laundry in the wash, it took a minute and 38 seconds...
