Are you ready for a clean sweep?
I am a big proponent of the Clean Sweep Program, created by CoachU. Many of my clients are life, business, or personal coaches who often use this program as a baseline for their new clients. Instead of working towards a specific goal, the Clean Sweep Program is a check list of 100 items, which when completed, provide a strong foundation for moving toward your goals. In a way, this program helps you get out of the way of your own goals and dreams, by removing the obstacles that are keeping you from starting on your journey. If you have these 100 items completed (and it is an ongoing process to keep them all completed), you will improve in several areas: physical environment, well-bring, money, and relationships. Most people start out at 20-30 points, but the goal is to work toward getting 100. You can find the checklist here: http://betterme.org/cleansweep.html
Are you wondering how I would score on this checklist? So far, I’m at 84. My lowest score is 16 in Physical environment, followed by 21 in Money, then 22 in Well-Being, with 25 in Relationships. In fact, I have completed the Relationships section. How well did you do? Some of these are easier than others (my car needs an oil change, once that’s done, I’ll have one more checked). What section do I struggle with most? This one: I have nothing around the house or in storage that I do not need. As a fan of Flylady, I am slowly decluttering our house. My home office and “outside the home” workspaces are clean and decluttered at all times. Our home, however, is not. What areas do you struggle the most in?
