You only need to ask yourself one question: "Will it serve me?" Is the content meaningful and useful to you and the goals in your life now. If not, unsubscribe freely! It's a good idea to use the Unsubscribe button often on enewsletters to keep clutter from your inbox. You only need to ask yourself one question: "Will it serve me?" Is the content meaningful and useful to you and the goals in your life now?  If not, unsubscribe freely!  Does the content of the newsletter appeal to you... for example, a key business initiative or personal goal, an activity or hobbie that you love love love? Or a philosophy, political genre or material that is of high priority in your life? Can you learn from the content?  These are all questions about whether this information will serve you right now, today, in your life. Be sure not to fall into the trap of "maybe someday I'll get into this...".  Don't worry. When that "some day" comes, the world will give you what you need. There will be a newsletter or website out there just for you. Also consider the structure and format of the publication.  Is it well organized? Is it easy to review and read to determine quickly?  Are there links that work?  That sort of thing. Finally, consider the sender.  If you met that person at a network event or a party, perhaps they included you on the list only because you know someone who might appreciate it's value. If that's the case, then forward it along - that's great karma.  And then.. well, you get the idea... unsubscribe freely!  Office 2010-01-08T02:37:07+00:00 http://dev.balancesf.com/index.php?/site/21_days/ http://dev.balancesf.com/index.php?/site/21_days/#When:19:47:17Z It is generally understood that it takes 21 days… a mere 3 weeks…. to get into the habit of somenthing. So, start with a small change and see how it works. It is generally understood that it takes 21 days… a mere 3 weeks…. to get into the habit of something.  So, start with a small "bad habit" and see how long it takes you to change it to a good habit. Do you lose your keys all the time? Get into the habit of putting them in one place every day.  A hook, a bowl or just pound a nail in the wall and every day for 3 weeks take a moment to put your keys there. Do you end up with piles of mail so daunting you continue to procrastinate opening it up?  Well, try to start that habit. No matter how busy you are, open your mail every day. Stand over a recycle bin when you do it. Toss freely into recycle because 80% of your mail is someone trying to sell you something. Just for 21 days. After that, you might find it's not an effort any more and you have a nice neat pile of bills to pay, stuff to read and a healthy fat recycle bin. 21 days to liberation of a bad habit into one that serves you.  A little bit of effort and you so very much deserve the great results.  Let me know how it goes!   show in home 2009-11-16T19:47:17+00:00 http://dev.balancesf.com/index.php?/site/turning_matter_into_energy/ http://dev.balancesf.com/index.php?/site/turning_matter_into_energy/#When:19:39:44Z I believe in matter and energy. That everything, all of us and everything around us, is some form of matter and energy, spinning together, evolving and all connected. I believe in matter and energy.  That everything, all of us and everything around us, is some form of matter and energy, spinning together, evolving and all connected.  I feel myself grounded when I touch a tree.  A tree, that is more matter than energy, but plenty of energy.  Eating of the soil upon which it’s rooted, drinking up the sun from its’ green energetic leaves.  And around you now.  Matter and energy.  For example, the chair  you sit on - or couch, seat, bed, insert your matter source for sitting here - is matter mostly, yet within it the energy of every warm, soft, sexy behind it has supported before yours, and the energy of the trees and the plants from which it was formed.  From this same spinning planet.  This simple chair, supporting you, with joy.  Because you have given purpose for all the matter and energy that went into it’s creation.   So how is clutter supporting you in your life? How is matter and energy working in that case?  Indeed, it is not.  When you consider your own clutter challenges, consider this.  That pile of paper wants a purpose. Those piles and boxes full of who knows what are not serving anyone.  So get busy making decisions on you stuff.  Is it active and serving you in your life?  If it isn't, get it out of your space and back into this spinning planet to serve someone else. Or to be recycled. It's good for you. And it's good for the planet. Turn matter - your clutter and disorder - into energy - where everything is in it's place waiting to serve you.  Welcome to BALANCE.  A place to get help to support your ongoing effort to live an organized and balanced life. show in home 2009-11-02T19:39:44+00:00 http://dev.balancesf.com/index.php?/site/makine_a_list_checking_it_twice/ http://dev.balancesf.com/index.php?/site/makine_a_list_checking_it_twice/#When:19:59:17Z Making a list, checking it twice, and still you haven't gotten a thing done all year.
