“The work of their hands brings them reward”
Proverbs 12:14b
As I begin a new year of listening to the Holy Spirit and praying for direction, I’m excited to not only teach a new class at my church titled, FLOURISH AS A WOMAN!  but to also share some of my talks and handouts with you in the months ahead. 

In my next mailing I’ll share Scriptures and thoughts on how to FLOURISH AS A WOMAN! For today, I want to encourage you to do something very simple and practical that will give you a wonderful sense of accomplishment! 

Here’s the project and how to do it successfully.  My thanks to Marcia Ramsland for her great ideas.  Let me make a quick suggestion: share this with a friend and challenge her to do it with you—or several of you in a small group could encourage each other.  Whatever means you use to stick with it, go for it!
What YOU CAN DO in 10 Minutes for 10 Days!
by Marcia Ramsland, The Organizing Pro

1. Delete 10 extra emails a day for 10 days. Result? If you have 99 emails now, in 10 days you MIGHT have cleared your In-box!

2. Put away 10 papers a day for 10 days. Result? In 10 days, you will have filed or recycled 100 papers from your desk!

3. Donate 10 items a day for 10 days from your closet, drawers, and closet shelves. Result? In 10 days, you will have 100 belts, socks, earrings, sweaters, jackets, slacks, jeans to donate – and a lot more breathing room.

4. Weed out 10 items a day for 10 days from your kitchen. Result? You will have recycled pots, pans, canned goods, mismatched mugs and dishes and helped a Homeless Shelter or other charity with 100 useful things!

5. Recycle 10 magazines, catalogs, and newspapers a day for 10 days. Result? You’ll speed read and catch up on your reading and clear paper clutter you’ve been meaning to get to.

6. Clear 10 items a day for 10 days from your flat surfaces. Result? Coffee tables, kitchen counters, desktops, and end tables will make your home look clutter free.

7. Choose 10 books to give away for 10 days. Result? You will have cleared your bookcases and put 100 great books back into circulation.

8. Organize 1 drawer for 10 minutes a day for 10 days. Result? Ten dresser and desk drawers are cleaned out.

9. Clean up one area of the garage for 10 minutes a day for 10 days. Result? It depends on your garage, but it should be cleaner.

10. Read one book for 10 minutes a day for 10 days. Result? You can cover 100 pages and finish up a book you’ve wanted to read.

Focus on one of the 10 topics above for 10 days. Then sequence another one right after it. You’ll be amazed at how little time it takes. You can get 10 projects done in 100 days!
