| Trade, Don't Buy! |
I love discovering life simplifying service providers that really work. I just signed up for a national online bartering website: www.Tradia.net.
It's a site that allows you to trade what you have for what you need. For example, I could do an organizing project for a Tradia member and earn Tradia credits in the dollar amount of my standard rates. Then, I can cash in those Tradia credits to purchase something I need, like a new roof, siding, a vacation, signage, printing...anything for my business or personal life that I'd rather not pay cash for...
It's good stewardship and it's practical. Plus, it keeps the cash in the bank.
Sound good? If you have skills, services, or products of value you can barter, check out www.Tradia.net. If you're in Oregon, give Cari or Ken at the Portland franchise a call at (503) 625-5100. If you sign up with them tell them I sent you and they'll give you a free dinner out!

| Weeding Your Life |
 |
Disorganization is like weeds. It's so tempting to do a haphazard job of organizing as we speed through life, just like we yank the tops off weeds in our yard as we are hurrying through weeding. We shortcut the process thinking it will save us time.
But good organizing takes time. We have to figure out what caused our disorganization in the first place instead of just tossing bins and baskets or a "tip or trick" at the problem. Understanding how we got here is the only way to pull the problem out by the root.
Good organizing also is an ongoing process. You don't just do it once and "arrive." It's a lifestyle of keeping the soil of your life decluttered of invaders and available for fruitfulness.
What can you do today to weed the soil of your life? |
