Habits and routines are the foundation of a great day. When you have good habits and simple routines in place, your day flows smoothly, because you don’t have to constantly remind yourself to get things done. With positive habits and basic routines, you do things without even thinking about them, freeing up your time and mental energy. Simplify Your Life with Habits + Routines will take the mystery out of creating new habits and routines, so you can lead the life you want to live.

If you’re looking for a way to make your life easier and better, new habits and routines are the answer. When you create habits and incorporate them into routines, you’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish on a regular basis. When parts of your life are automated so that you’re staying on top of things that are important to you, you free yourself of that nagging voice telling you what you should be doing. By creating habits and routines for the little chores of daily life, you actually free yourself to pursue things you love to do. No more missing out on fun excursions because you feel you should stay home and “get organized.” It may seem paradoxical, but habits and routines actually free you to live spontaneously!

I’m Janine Adams, a certified professional organizer, so habits and routines are really important to me. In truth, I’m a naturally messy person. I have a good organizational infrastructure in my home and I’m great at decluttering, but I have a hard time remembering to put things away. I don’t really see mess, so things can get pretty bad before I act.

As a result, I’ve always lived with messes. Not monumental messes, but certainly what most people would consider disarray. When I opened my organizing business in 2005, I began exploring the value of habits and routines. I watched how they helped my clients and I have been able to implement effective habits and routines in my own life. What I’ve found is that my life is much easier now that I’ve created simple habits and routines.

In Simplify Your Life with Habits + Routines, I’ll share with you the techniques and strategies I’ve used to improve my life, so you, too, can enjoy the amazing benefits of habits and routines. You’ll explore your current habits and routines, so you can get a feel for what’s working well and what you’d like to change. You’ll discover how to build on the things you are already doing automatically to incorporate new, positive habits into your life. Whether you want to create better eating habits, better financial habits or habits that will help you keep your home clutter-free—the ideas in this workshop are for you.

Using the tips and techniques in the lessons, plus the insights you come up with doing the lesson worksheets, you’ll discover how to create positive change in your life by establishing new habits and creating simple routines.

If you happen to have any habits that you don’t feel so good about (maybe you call them bad habits), no worries—I’ll show you how to let go of any habits that aren’t helping you live the life of your dreams and replace them with positive habits that move you closer to your vision of your ideal self. The techniques I share make it simple and fun to create positive change in your life.

Wouldn’t you love to:

Get things done without even thinking about them?

Stay on top of your everyday tasks?

Have time in your day to do the things you love?

Feel good about yourself and your habits?

Let go of habits that make you feel guilty?

If you said “yes” to any of these questions, then you’re ready to start enjoying a simpler life by creating some terrific habits and routines.

In Simplify Your Life with Habits + Routines you will…

Figure out the good habits you already have, so you can build on them to create simple routines that will make your life easier.
Identify the annoyances you’d like to be rid of to create routines with the greatest impact.
Fantasize about your ideal self and the habits s/he’d have, so you can identify new habits that will help you live the life you dream about.

Single out a habit to work on between lessons, so you can practice the new habit and get support in the forums.

Learn the value of linking habits together to form routines, so that you start accomplishing tasks automatically.

Think about the habits you already have that you could pair with a new one to create routines that will make your life easier.

Learn about a variety of tools to help you succeed in habit creation.

Come up with morning and evening routines to bookend your day, so that you can get stuff done easily and create time for spontaneity and fun.

Identify some habits you would like to lose to boost your confidence.

Choose a habit you’d like to eliminate and use a simple, five-question technique that will make it easier to let this habit go.

Learn how to get back on the bandwagon any time you fall off.

At the end of this workshop you will be well on your way to creating a new habit, and you will have developed several routines that will allow you to live a more effortless life. You will also have started letting go of a bad habit. The result? You’ll have a simpler life and the knowledge and tools to continue making it even better.
