Week Ten: Your Week From a Balanced View
Last week, we discussed how to write a MISSION statement for yourself at the beginning of each week...and I gave you a few questions to help you formulate your mission. This week, I'd like you to consider our overall theme of "saving money, calories and time in 2009" and personalize a VISION statement for each area of your life--making it practical enough to impact your life THIS WEEK!
For example, here would be my VISION statement for this week:
PHYSICAL--continue to walk as my mode of exercise (saving money by not paying gym dues)and eat at home more than eating out (as overall, it is better for our budget.)
EMOTIONAL--continue to forgive quickly and pray often when I'm anxious or angry, rather than dwell on the negative and give more time to those in my life who want/request it (this week: my husband).
SPIRITUAL--talk to God and listen to God before starting any other project. This summer, I especially have to be very protective of the quietest morning hours of my day.
MENTAL--carefully detailing my day by praying about my MIN whenever I feel overwhelmed, and resisting (even refusing) procrastination, and defining my dreams by regularly reviewing projects that are not due now, but must be accomplished in order to cross the "finish line."
Are you with me? Consider these 4 areas and write a vision for your week--how will you save money, calories, and time in each of these areas: physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally?

Week Nine: Reviewing MIN, DIA, and WAG
By now--Week 9--you are hopefully thinking more clearly, accomplishing more projects, praying more effectively, and planning ahead more often.
As we head into the third month of SMCT Quarter 2, we turn a corner.
This Series began with us taking an entire month to focus on the "Most Important Now," asking ourselves simple questions that would keep us from wasting time (calories, and money)! Making your MIN a quick prayer is an even more effective and less stressful way o accomplish even the seemingly simple things in each day.
Then we took another month to strategically plan out our lives "One Day in Advance." Hopefully, you found a real rhythm to each day--one that is repeatable. (In other words, if you can repeat a productive Monday every Monday--it will become a favorite day! Ex: early QT, walking workout, and after-work grocery shopping.) Once you have a few productive days in each week, you are ready to think in terms of "Week at a Glance" planning.
MIN to DIA to WAG. If you and I can hold onto the MIN and commit to planning our schedule one DIA, then we can connect our minutes and days into very productive weeks.
This month we will stretch ourselves to think/look/plan our lives one WAG.
(Did you follow all of that? I promise our phone call will be a bit more inspirational!)
Be encouraged,
Becky

Week Eight: Clear the Clutter
As you continue to prayerfully consider how to plan one DAY IN ADVANCE, I want to encourage you to clear the clutter off your home or office desk, kitchen or bathroom counter, and out of your inbox or mailbox, closet, refrigerator, or car trunk!
When? This is the perfect weekend to take each of these areas and eliminate and concentrate!
How? In 10 minute chunks (increments) with a trash bag at your side, a marking pen in your hand, and a box for storage at your feet!
Why? To make your life easier, more efficient, and peaceful!
You can do it! In fact, let's do it together! Put your 10-15 minute increments on your calendar NOW for the weekend.
Be encouraged,
Becky
