October Theory: A Simple Way to Set Home Improvement Goals
Are you feeling overwhelmed by your home to-do list? It can be hard to know where to start when you have so many projects on your plate. That's where October Theory comes in.
October Theory is a simple goal-setting strategy that can help you break down large projects into smaller, more manageable steps. October is a time of change and will get you ahead of your goals looking forward to New Year’s Resolutions. It's based on the idea that if you can make progress on a goal every day, you'll be well on your way to achieving it by the end of the year.
Here's how to apply October Theory to your home improvement projects:
Choose a goal: Decide on a specific home improvement project you want to tackle. This could be anything from organizing one space to installing new flooring.
Break it down: Divide your project into smaller, daily tasks. For example, if you want to organize a room, you might break it down into tasks like reviewing current items, categorizing into keep, donate, or toss, and replacing items into the space.
Set daily goals: Assign a specific task to each day of the month. Make sure your daily goals are realistic and achievable.
Track your progress: Keep a record of your daily progress. This will help you stay motivated and on track.
Celebrate your successes: Reward yourself for completing each daily goal. This will help you stay positive and motivated. (Try to stay away from buying more stuff as a reward).
October Theory is a great way to set and achieve home improvement goals, especially if you're feeling overwhelmed. By breaking down large projects into smaller, more manageable steps, you can make significant progress without feeling stressed.
