Rare Disease

Happy Monday, Mighties!

This week we’re talking about a topic that people often find uncomfortable: budgeting.

From maintaining our homes, to managing our health, to even paying for the things we enjoy like TV subscriptions or traveling, budgeting is something we all have to think about more often than not. Making important financial decisions is one of the many unavoidable responsibilities that come with #adulting.

Do you find budgeting easy or is it challenging for you?

Hi, Mighties! 💫

One step or action can go a long way — especially when it comes to organization. Rescheduling plans, sorting your mail, or breaking down those boxes for recycling can make a big difference on your organization to-do list.

What’s one thing you can do today that will help you feel more organized?

📦 P.S. You got this. Every small action in the right direction is a WIN!

Many people wait for certainty before they act. The problem is that certainty rarely arrives first. Progress usually begins with small actions taken while things are still unclear. When you shift your focus from trying to control the future to simply taking the next step, uncertainty becomes less frightening and more full of opportunity.

What is something in your life right now where uncertainty is stopping you from taking action?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has a complicated relationship with procrastination. One of her biggest challenges involves her relationship with sleep and free time — and knowing when to allow herself to rest instead of convincing herself she’s just “being lazy” or using procrastination as an excuse. She doesn’t have to be “on the go” all the time, but she would like to get her tasks done, take care of herself, and still get enough sleep every night.

What are your thoughts? What’s your relationship with procrastination? When do you tend to procrastinate?

Who doesn’t love a good-sized bin, shelf, or cabinet that brings your room together; a perfectly sized calendar that fits all your appointments just right; or even a desk with all the necessary drawers you need to organize your items?

A good purchase can be a lifesaver.

What’s the best item you’ve ever purchased that helped you better organize or declutter your home? Why is it so great?
