How to Set Up Your Workspace, According to Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type
If you’re feeling less than inspired by your workspace, whether that be from home or back in the office, it may be time to switch things up a little bit. This is where the MBTI comes in. You can channel the results of the assessment to design an office that will allow you to be your most productive without sacrificing your personality.
Get started with your own "Mini Habits"
The mini-habit is just what it sounds like – it’s taking the premise that doing a whole lot of small things will eventually add up to something amazing. Think, for example, of what would happen if you only read a couple of news articles every day? Before you know it, you’d have accomplished the goal of becoming more informed, and would be better able to handle discussions about current events.
Mini-habits don’t stop there though. Not only can your mini-habit change how you get things done, but they impact your mind and body as well. Read on for two examples you can use to discover the powerful benefits of Mini-habits.
1. You create an atmosphere of success. By setting small goals, you’re much more likely to meet them. So instead of telling yourself that you’re going to return all your phone calls promptly, you instead focus on returning the next phone call on time. That takes off the huge expectations that always felt so daunting in the past and left you with a feeling of failure when you couldn’t quite make it. What’s even better is that meeting these small goals means you get to where you start expecting success, which leads to the mindset that will generate that success you’re expecting.
2. You change how you view your capabilities. By accomplishing mini-goals, you start to realize that you do have the ability and power to accomplish things. Your confidence grows, and you gain a better, more positive sense of your abilities.

Be afraid and do it anyway
Ted Talks can inspire, teach, entertain and more on any number of subjects and this post is about managing your fear as you walk through your stress. It’s about being afraid and doing it anyway. Having your own business is a constant remainder of having to deal with things that you’d rather not have to deal with, and it means being uncomfortable. And that’s OK. It’s time to get comfortable with that and moving through the moment to get to where you want and need to be.

This weeks' challenge is a simple one (or so it seems)...Put your phone away!
Give yourself the gift of uninterrupted time. It does wonders for momentum. By turning off your phone for an hour, you'll give yourself the freedom to relax, recharge, explore and forge ahead. Give this a try for 30 days and see the difference it can make.
