It is exam season! If you've got semester exams coming up, now is the time to be preparing and studying. While many people choose to procrastinate, taking a bit of time to plan out how, when, and what to study can go a long way to being prepared!

This same process can be used for your home improvement projects! So, even if you're not taking exams, read on! I'll take you step-by-step in how to divide up your time and project into smaller tasks to make it easy to tackle.

1. Start with the end goal:
What is the date of the exam? What is your home improvement project finish date?

2. Make a list of tasks:
Come up with a list of tasks needed to accomplish your goal. For exams, write a list of units or topics covered on the exam. Then make note of your study tools. For example, did the teacher provide a review sheet? Can you use the unit tests and quizzes to study? Can you use your study guides from each unit to prepare?

Choosing a New Year's 'Word of the Year'

12/31/2020

Disclaimer: Flourish Organizing may receive commissions from some links.

Years ago, I heard about this idea for choosing a word for the year instead of making New Year’s Resolutions. As someone who thrives in environments with clear rules and boundaries, I always made goals for the year. However, I also felt frustrated... I found myself making the same resolutions each year and also never quite living up to them. It felt like I was in a never ending state of being “not good enough” and asking myself “Why can’t I succeed at this?”
