Have a tag sale (or garage, or yard sale – whatever you call them in your area.) Bedrooms – both master and childrens – take priority here. Before you move purge your closets, drawers, cabinets, attics, basements and garages. Donate your items to charitable causes. Toss them in the garbage.

However, as the business takes off, it can become more of a chore or just fall down the ever-growing list of priorities. Take five, 10 minutes a day to see what you’re tagged in on Instagram. It can be fun at first and you might have some professional shots of your products or services to upload.

Sealing leaks in the doors, windows, walls and floors should be your first priority. A solar or geothermal unit may have a big initial price tag, but there are plenty of rebates and incentives to consider. Insulation, caulk and weatherstripping may be necessary around windows, doors or other drafty spots.

[link] Bob Borson Thanks Jan - Because of my trip in 1990, I had a conversation with my wife about how I thought the experience changed my life and that I wanted to make it a priority to expose our daughter to different cultures as soon as possible. I try and keep things light and share a thing or two about what I think I know.

I also think that I am better at my job when I am able to get personal with my client along the way – it makes it easier to help them set priorities that will make the difference between a house that fits the way they will really use it instead of how they think they will use it.

You know that this isn’t about manipulating the client into doing what you want, this is about creating ownership in the process where everyone is on board with the priorities set during the programming phase. After that, we can act as caretaker to a certain extent and try and distill the many visions and ideas down to their essence.

For me, durability, good looks and low maintenance would be highest priority, so my own choice would be engineered quartz, solid surface or maybe recycled glass. I would prefer to keep the work-zone intact for the chef (AKA me) than move the priority to the casual beverage retriever. There are so many other options out there.

That peace of mind alone is enough to warrant the high price tag for some consumers, but the BreatheSmart offers other benefits as well. It is best able to handle a broad range of environmental factors without requiring you to select your filtration priorities. It simply works very well at a reasonable price.

I think part of what elevates a goal over a resolution is that the goal doesn’t necessarily have a solution whereas a resolution is all about a final (or finished) result.

I’m not promoting procrastination here, but I think it might rather be a question of point of view and priorities. Each person needs to make the decision which one should take priority and when. Motivation is sort of a butterfly, it can be focused on one flower now, later on another.
