How finding your personal mantra can help you be a finisher

My personal trainer used to say “What’s another 30 seconds…? What’s another minute…?” when motivating me to keep going on the treadmill during our sessions together. And he was right – by the time I was nearing the end of my run I’d gone so far that another 30 seconds or a minute was not really worth fighting about – I just did it!

It’s a phrase that comes back to me whenever I feel tired and think about doing something simple later – such as putting away my clothes, hanging up my necklace or returning my little shopping cart to the garage. The thought “What’s another minute? You’re going to do it anyway, why not now?” will get me to push on through.

It’s finding personal mantras like this one that I find help clients stick to their organising goals. If a client can get into the habit of automatically putting things back for even a week, by the end they are amazed at how much more organised they and their space has become.
