I'm not a big fan of gardening. I love the end results you understand, what I have trouble with is, doing the hard stuff. The weeding, the endless pulling of perfectly healthy weeds. Why I don't know. My mum is an amazing gardener, she's always doing something. I get bored really quickly, so what do I do?

Well I work with my own personal limitations. I complete one small project each time I go into the garden. Weed, plant and re-mulch one garden bed. Prune the roses. Spray the garden paths another. And you know what it works.

Which of course it applies to every goal we set for ourselves. 

We can lose weight one pound at a time. Each pound we lose we can add to the next pound we lose and over a course of a few weeks can lose all the weight we say we want to lose.

We can paint a house one wall at a time.

We can write  a book or poem one letter at a time, one page at a time.

We can save a million dollars one dollar at a time. Of course with all goals, especially monetary ones, interest soon takes over. And we get an added boost to our saving plan. The interest we gain from achieving those small goal items gives us the interest to keep going, we can see the end result and we can't wait to see the finish line.

So, don't panic if you think your goal is too big. Break it down until you can complete each section in an hour or so. We can all do something for an hour or so - can't we?
