The 5 C’s of Discipline for a Project

When you decide to take on a marketing project, or any project for that matter, incorporating any of the 5 C’s will help you with the discipline of staying on task.

Coach
Calendar
Chart
Checklist
Confidence

There are many components to a project and the ones that get the most attention are the ones in the preparation area. They are important; however, once the project has moved from the preparation period into the implementation or the use phase, there are 5 C’s that are critical to the ongoing success of the project and the results.

Coach
Telling someone what you are going to do and asking them to hold you accountable for it will have a direct impact on your actions. Coaching comes in many forms and at many prices, so if you are going to gain the support from a coach, it must match your needs.

Calendar
This is the time you spend on the project to keep it progressing and generating great results. From how often to how long you spend touching the project components will need to fit into your days and weeks. Putting those actions on your calendar increases the likelihood it will happen.

Chart
Having a visual representation of how things are progressing provides you with honest results. Whether you have full metrics or a thermometer on the wall, seeing what is occurring is a great motivator for staying the course.

Checklist
Again, once the preparation is complete, now the real work begins. Many times the preparation of a project is to set up for a repeated action or a system to do its work. Having a checklist to verify the system process or repeated action will help ensure that the project is working as planned no matter who is managing the various parts of the system.

Confidence
If you have confidence that the project you are implementing will create incredible results, then the discipline you need to stick to the tasks will be much easier. Success is a given!

#31 Congrats and Final Task

CONGRATULATIONS!
... and thank you for participating in the
31 Ways to Get Organized in 31 Days 2009!


I hope this month gave you the opportunity to take on various organizing tasks that have made a difference in your life. While some of them might not move mountains, if you are less stressed, less frustrated and have more time, then you are free to get out there and move mountains!

There's one final task below, so don't leave just yet! I will also be sending you a quick survey and your reply is apprecaited!

Joyfully,
Brenda


Welcome to Way #31!

After a month of doing various organizing tasks, notice what made the biggest difference for you. Which task do you want to finish? or start? Which task will you repeat?

You also learned a bit more about yourself and your organizing style. Did a certain task make you the most energized? Did one save you the most time? Was there a task that you totally avoided because you didn't know how to tackle the hurdles associated with that task?

Day Way # 31 Make an organizing plan for February

* Look at the next month and determine what days you will do organizing tasks. Is Monday the big organizing day for you? Did you like doing one little thing each day?
* Schedule or target tasks you would like to repeat or complete.

* Make sure you are signed up for other Balanced Organizing Solutions eTips and Seminar annoucements.

#14 - Gym Bag Organizing

Welcome to Way #14!

First thing is to go get your gym bag?

So, if you just said, "What gym bag?" your only excuse for that remark is if you always work out at your home, have a locker at a workout facility or wear the same clothes over and over. ..... to which I say we have to have a whole other conversation. Ewwww!

Fitness and Health goals are likely on most lists for the New Year, so let's do some organizing to support those goals!

Reports state that if you want have a packed and supplied gym bag it will dramatically increase your chance of working out!

If you don't have a gym bag, there is an alternate for you below.

Joyfully,
Brenda

Day Way # 14
Spend 15 minutes to clean out and refresh your gym bag.

Clean out basics:
all pockets
cosmetic and toiletry bags
mini-pouch for money, ID/Membership cards, etc
give it a spray to kill germs and smells

Refresh basics:
refill or get new toiletry bottles
restock paper products such as Q-tips, cotton balls, feminine products, etc
put in a few pair of clean socks

Way #14b

If you don't have a gym bag because you work out at home, then it's time to clean out and organize your storage area for workout supplies. It might be a room, a drawer, part of a closet, in the garage, etc.

*get rid of items that don't belong there
*put items that need to be there back,
*create a new storage solution if supplies are not organized
