If you've been wondering what I found when I did clean my office after being motivated by Jack Canfield's teleconference call a week ago to get rid of clutter to free up my mind for creativity, it was checks! Four checks, to be exact!

That was a painful lesson to learn about not keeping house in a better manner. No more of that for me! I'll put 5 min. into housekeeping my office each day to keep track of essentials.

I also recommend going to Jackcanfield.com and signing up for his email newsletter. It is helpful and doesn't come too often. I've checked out Canfield's books from the library, too, since I believe he is full of good advice.

What are you doing to stretch yourself this summer? Summer can be a time to "let go" of good habits, but don't let it happen. If you've always read a devotion to get your day started, keep it up. Better yet, start a new good habit. I've resolved to read two self-improvement books/month during the summer. I can't keep it up once school starts, but now I've got an excuse to sit on the lounger and relax at night after work.

Let me know what good habit you have that helps you improve your life/career/family.
Take care.
