Here is a September to do list you can start now.

1. Declutter your home and life

Down to the last quarter of the year, you often find yourself amid the mess. You spread yourself too thinly, trying to accommodate all appointments and end up dumping all your stress at home, a habit that makes you exhausted. Whether it be your personal life or career, staying within such a state sucks the energy out of you.

As Marie Kondo said, make peace with your environment and keep what only sparks joy. September is a great time to declutter your home and life. Getting rid of emotional baggage that’s weighing you down. At home, it could be organizing your closet and files, removing items that you no longer use. And in life, things or even people that’s not serving you right.

You have to say goodbye on some things to give space for other things to come in.

6. Hang a frame with a positive quote that speaks to your soul.

A negative mind will never yield a positive result. So, hang a frame with a positive quote to constantly remind you that life is good and things will get better despite all the struggles you face day in and day out. Hang it somewhere that’s visible, perhaps near your kitchen or office table as a gentle reminder to keep moving forward.

7. Spend 1 hour everyday of your life on self improvement and take a day off each week.

With the mountain of demands you face every waking day of your life, it’s easy to succumb and get lost. Eventually, you watch life pass you by and immerse yourself in the mundane of your everyday life.

Successful people become successful, not because they were naturally born that way. It’s their curiosity of the things around them and eagerness to constantly improve themselves that sets them apart. Power your mornings and spend at least an hour each day enhancing your skills and learning new things. If we consume food for our stomach, these are nuggets for your soul and brain to push you forward.

At the end of each week, take much-needed needed rest. Even heroes need to rest, why can’t you? So, plan ahead of time and allocate a specific day to recharge, practicing self-care. It is only in caring for yourself that you’ll have the capacity to care for others.
