Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to make drastic changes in order to notice an improvement in
the quality of your life. At the same time, you don’t need to wait a long time in order to see the
measurable results that come from taking positive action. All you have to do is take small steps, and take
them consistently, for a period of 100 days.
Below you’ll find 60 small ways to improve all areas of your life in the next 100 days.

1. Create a “100 Days to Conquer Clutter Calendar” by pencilling in one group of items you plan to
declutter every day, for the next 100 days. Here’s an example:
Day 1: Declutter Magazines
Day 2: Declutter DVD’s
Day 3: Declutter books
Day 4: Declutter kitchen appliances
2. Live by the mantra: a place for everything and everything in its place. For the next 100 days follow
these four rules to keep your house in order:
1/ If you take it out, put it back.
2/ If you open it, close it.
3/ If you throw it down, pick it up.
4/ If you take it off, hang it up.
3. Walk around your home and identify 100 things you’ve been tolerating; fix one each day. Here are
some examples:
•
•
•

A burnt light bulb that needs to be changed.
A button that’s missing on your favourite shirt.
The fact that every time you open your top kitchen cabinet all of the plastic food containers fall
out.
