[...] Little things matter but those little things are easy to ignore because, well, they’re so . . . little and insignificant. But in today’s slowing economy, we need to insure that we’re reducing our consumption of unneeded items and saving the difference. Nothing is too little. Nothing is insignificant. We have to examine every habit we have, every action we make, and everywhere we spend our money to see if we could make a few changes that would result in plugging that leak in our wallets. Small leaks sink great ships. [...]

I agree little things do matter. The details are what will make you stand out from the crowd. I’m going to start getting up 30 minutes earlier to write. It is amazing what I can get accomplished in just a quiet half hour!

Another idea that I use at work is to take advantage of the free moments in the day to knock things off my to-do list. It is easy to waste the 15 minutes before lunch or going home doing something unimportant, but I find that these are excellent times to get one more thing done. It helps me leave on a positive note!

Well……….this is a great article to rev up my brain on Monday morning!

I am one of those that makes “I need this” lists. I have been doing this faithfully for many years. Mainly because I would forget items we needed. Those items I just cannot keep in my brain. Such as AA batteries, super glue, powdered sugar or wax paper.

And I don’t veer off this list very often, unless it’s something I forgot to put on the list. I just keep it handy, on the counter, and it sure makes my life more simple. And less costly.

Another small thing I did, was picking up every night after my children went to bed. My children picked up their own items, as they headed to their rooms, but I straightened, or put away everything else. Everything had it’s place. And it was in it’s place!!! Not on the floor or furniture. Things did not get lost this way. Very simple. This little step made my home neat and tidy for the next day. It also made my own life soooooo much less stressful. Stress levels in homes are diminished considerably when there aren’t arguments about, “where is my ………..”.

For a lot of people this is a discipline in itself.
Just having the gumption to do it. Making a decision to do it…..then actually carrying it out! Doing exercises like this helps me in that direction.

Thank you for this reminder today.

BTW…HAPPY BIRTHDAY Saturday!!!
