Weekend Wisdom: Choose priority over balance because when everything matters, nothing does.
When you think, “I HAVE to do this” ask yourself this very important and simple question, “Do I?” Decide if the thing is on your list just because it’s been there for so long, or because you’ve always done that thing or because other people think you should do that thing. Before you try to get more organized, more productive or more of whatever else you think you are missing to get more done, challenge yourself to remove as many things as you can from your list. Don’t forget to let go of some of the good stuff too. Sometimes removing the pressure of doing more things is better than doing even the good things. I’m going through this process myself and discovering that I don’t have to do as much as I think. AND NOW, ON TO THE FAVORITESClick here to see all of the Weekend Favorites (including: How to stop procrastinating in 60 seconds, 5 small habits to make every day feel more meaningful and how to stop carrying stress that isn't yours).

Weekend Wisdom: Instead of seeking productivity tips to get more done, consider doing less. Next month I'll be announcing a new Declutter Hour to help you pare down skincare products and cosmetics. To prep, I did a deep declutter of my own stuff. I was shocked that as much as I've reduced my products over the years, I still had way too much. Clutter creep is real! Lately I've been loving my morning walks, playing tennis and loving the social aspect of chatting on the court or grabbing coffee...
