Make one change can make a massive difference

My Shelf

It is amazing how just putting up a shelf up, can make a difference, with set of clothes hooks, so I have a place for my books and my clothes for the day and no longer all over the bed.

Before my Shelf was put up 

                                                  

So just one change can make a difference. It helps me with my laziness and procrastination. If I do one thing I know it will get done, if I have to clean a whole room it makes me want to leave and avoid and so I will break tasks up. 

I will wash up and clean the sink one day. Last night I dusted my file boxes, as there was dust from when my husband put up the Shelf in my room and clothes hook. I now have cleaned the windowsill and my son done one too, later it will be dinner and then tomorrow will clean the windowsills upstairs.

Change your sleep pattern. I have always suffered with Insomnia and getting to sleep. I have had weeks of bad sleep and not slept at all and it was really effecting me daily. I would get terrible fatigue and would watch the time. So I no longer have a clock in my room. I use my phone but I put it where I have to get up to turn it off. Or my son will come into my room to turn it off.

I do take medication as it was getting bad and it did effect my mental health. 

It could be organising time to walk. You don't need a gym. I love walking and so I always organise time to do this and it will be 10 to 45 minutes. I love walking up London and local parks. I will check out the shops and have a coffee whilst I walk and love being near the river and it is free. 

Changing your shopping habits. I now try to buy shopping once. I have set up a notebook for planning meals. I did have a folder full of recipes but I never used them and I love the English favourites, Toad in the hole, curry, fish n chips, ham egg and chips, sausage and mash and so I will make sure we have vegetables, but frozen, even fresh veg so it has a longer life span and tinned items of food and it saved me a lot of money.

Organising my online planner. Notion. It has saved me a lot of time and have the APP on my phone too and really been a game changer and keep track of things and great if you are planning sort of person and saves me time and money. 

So just one change can make a huge difference.
