Happy happy Friday friends! I know we already halfway into January (woah!!) but I kind of consider this entire month a reset/refresh and though that I could share some motivation that’s really been helping me this month!
A week ago my friend Kristine share this simple tip that has totally changed my workflow, and her tip was this “touch it once.” Basically what this means is, don’t start something and then set it down and start something else- once you “touch” a task… finish it! For me this most applies to my emails. I am notorious for half-starting an email, and then at the end of the day I have 10 half started emails that need to be sent and 5 that need to to be followed up on (anyone else feel me?). So this week I’ve made a point to touch my emails once. As soon as I open one, I reply, complete the task, and check it off. Done & Done!
I definitely think this also applies to other areas of your life too. I’m also terrible about half-starting my laundry, it will sit in the dryer for DAYS! But this week I said nope! As soon as its done, I pulled it out, folded and put away. And y’all it feet so nice to not have that handing over my head!
So I encourage you to try this simple tip and see how it changes your motivation factor in the new year!
Thanks for stopping by y’all! || Gentry

That is a really good tip! I feel like I m constantly starting new tasks without finishing them throughout the day. It can be so overwhelming sometimes! I need to implement this asap!
I feel like it has already been a game changer to my productivity!
Ugh yes, laundry is a huge problem! This is a very interesting concept!
