In 2 Minutes 18 Seconds… Spring Clean Your Life

No big sermon here. No best practices. No How To listicle. (A thought if you’re really jonesing for that, check out Top 20 Motivational Tips by Zen Habits, Eight Steps to Continuous Self-Motivation by LifeHack, or 10 Ways to Recharge Your Motivation by Marc and Angel.)

Just a Request…

Give yourself 2 minutes and 18 seconds to think about:

  • What boxes am I stuck in?
  • What’s keeping me stuck in somebody else’s box?
  • What rules (my own or others’) must I start breaking, bending or ignoring?
  • How can I best spring clean my life?

Why 2 minutes, 18 seconds?

Do all that while listening to a Malvina Reynolds’ classic, Little Boxes, first made popular by Pete Seeger.

Five different artist’s renditions. (My faves: the first two, by Blake Stokes, and Walk Off the Earth.)

Enjoy while pondering what you’ll clean up and out this spring!

  • There’s a more human way to do business.

    In the Social Age, it’s how we engage with customers, collaborators and strategic partners that matters; it’s how we create workplace optimism that sets us apart; it’s how we recruit, retain (and repel) employees that becomes our differentiator. This isn’t a “people first, profits second” movement, but a “profits as a direct result of putting people first” movement.
