Changes are afoot. One of my sons has moved back in with me while between homes of his own. The editing of my home in the 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge is a major change. Together they may bring more challenges. Read my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Manifesto!!
A Recovering Magpie More Changes
Melissa of The Inspired Home has been undergoing a similar process this past year. She recently asked, “Have you ever set aside a big long chunk of time to get your home in order?” She is excited about the next season in her home.
It made me thoughtful about undertaking my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge and the reasons I did so. Taking these three months to focus in on my life and complete something significant is making a difference. I am proud of myself for taking the time and committing to the process. Melissa continues, “It is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself and I highly encourage you to give yourself the gift of time to complete projects!”
{Coming clean} Taking time for myself is not always a big priority in my life!
My Summer Simplifying Challenge
Priorities are important to get straight. My Summer Simplifying Challenge is giving me the chance to set and achieve them. I have explained the Ignatian Spiriitualty part of my journey in the past. Today I share another component of my process for setting priorities: The Eisenhower Decision Matrix: How to Distinguish Between Urgent and Important Tasks and Make Real Progress in Your Life by The Art of Manliness (image source).

I am reframing everything. Deciding what is important and not so important during the 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge, is an ever evolving part of this journey. Take some time to read this informative article if you need help setting priorities.
