One day every year of your life should be dedicated to a good clear out and spring clean.

Enjoy Time With Loved Ones
Those precious moments go quickly. Ask the questions you want. Enjoy the time together.
Finding Time
There is so much you can do. The challenge is fitting it all in. Finding the time to do everything you would like to do is one of the hardest things you’ll do in life.
You’ll need great planning, discipline, sacrifice and patience. You can fit in a lot if you try. Though be careful to keep some balance amongst the big themes in life.
Have A Day For You
We do a lot for work, our families, spouse, kids and parents and also friends and community.
However, do you do enough for you?
Get into the habit of taking 1 full day for you every 6 months. It’s essential.
Plan Forward
Look a day, week, year and even a decade ahead. Make a plan and follow it.
Productive Downtime
It’s amazing how you can find pockets of time in your day to be productive. This could be while waiting in a queue, while others are sleeping or when some people would go for a nap or get entertained.
By squeezing some productivity in between the cracks in the day, you can get more done and leave rest time, strictly for rest.
Sleep Or Achieve?
As always, it depends. What are the details?
Sleep is great if you’ve just achieved something worthwhile to you. Though, so is celebrating! (Step 7 in my book) ✅
Enjoy Fabulous Days
Fun days with friends should be greatly cherished. Enjoy special moments together like milestones and parties.
These are the days of our lives.
Make A Plan For Life
Begin with the end in mind. In your final days, when you look back over your life, what will you be proud of? What will you savour and hold close?
Who will tidy your mess? There are many questions to answer including whether you left an inheritance, fond memories, or children.
Hopefully you will have been a net giver on this Earth. You will have a tidy and easy to understand book of your affairs for your Executor.
What fun plans will you have had, trips will you have taken, and opportunities will you have pursued.
Sit down at a computer, or with pen and paper, for one hour this weekend and write out your life from its finish, back to now. Write out the highlight real you want to watch in your later life.
Then on Monday, set to work to ensure you do all that you wrote. That’s how you create a dream life.
Invest In Your Future
Spend money on self improvement, education, courses and coaches.
Listen carefully and follow instructions. People are there to help and have been there before.
Investing in your future will pay many dividends as the years roll on.
