1. Your Possessions – Too many material
possessions complicate our lives to a greater degree
than we ever give them credit. They drain our bank
account, our energy, and our attention. They keep us
from the ones we love and from living a life based on
our values. If you will invest the time to remove
nonessential possessions from your life, you will
never regret it.

2. Your Time Commitments – Most of us have filled
our days full from beginning to end with time
commitments: work, home, kid’s activities,
community events, religious endeavors, hobbies… the
list goes on. When possible, release yourself from the
time commitments that are not in line with your
greatest values.

3. Your Goals – Reduce the number of goals you are
intentionally striving for in your life to one or two. By
reducing the number of goals that you are striving to
accomplish, you will improve your focus and your
success rate. Make a list of the things that you want
to accomplish in your life and choose the two most
important. When you finish one, add another from
your list.

4. Your Negative Thoughts – Most negative emotions
are completely useless. Resentment, bitterness, hate,
and jealousy have never improved the quality of life
for a single human being. Take responsibility for your
mind. Forgive past hurts and replace negative
thoughts with positive ones.

5. Your Debt – If debt is holding you captive, reduce
it. Start today. Do what you’ve got to do to get out
from under its weight. Find the help that you need.
Sacrifice luxury today to enjoy freedom tomorrow.

6. Your Words – Use fewer words. Keep your speech
plain and honest. Mean what you say. Avoid gossip.

7. Your Artificial Ingredients – Avoid trans fats,
refined grain (white bread), high-fructose corn syrup,
and too much sodium. Minimizing these ingredients
will improve your energy level in the short-term and
your health in the long-term. Also, as much as
possible, reduce your consumption of over-the-
counter medicine – allow your body to heal itself
naturally as opposed to building a dependency on
substances.

8. Your Screen Time – Focusing your attention on
television, movies, video games, and technology
affects your life more than you think. Media rearranges
your values. It begins to dominate your life. And it
has a profound impact on your attitude and outlook.
Unfortunately, when you live in that world on a
consistent basis, you don’t even notice how it is
impacting you. The only way to fully appreciate its
influence in your life is to turn them off.

9. Your Connections to the World – Relationships
with others are good, but constant streams of
distraction are bad. Learn when to power off the
blackberry, log off Facebook, or not read a text. Focus
on the important, not the urgent. A steady flow
of distractions from other people may make us feel
important, needed, or wanted, but feeling important
and accomplishing importance are completely
different things.

10. Your Multi-Tasking – Research indicates that
multi-tasking increases stress and lowers
productivity. while single-tasking is becoming a lost
art, learn it. Handle one task at a time. Do it well. And
when it is complete, move to the next.
