The Weekly Recharge

by Laura Finney

Imagine not combing or brushing your hair for a week. Okay, I know that’s a fashion style for some people, but not most. Imagine not brushing your teeth or bathing for a week. If the trash at our homes was not picked up weekly, it would double by the next week and so would the smell.

The same holds true for remaining organized and productive throughout the week. A Weekly Recharge is the key to maintaining a seamless system of organization. ‘Recharge’ means to regain, make new, or simply to charge again. Our bodies and minds are recharged after each session of sleep or rest. We recharge batteries to use them over and over again.

In the office, a Weekly Recharge is most beneficial in keeping the EDGE System working for you. And, it keeps your mind, desk, and workload clear of unnecessary clutter. This will also give you an opportunity to review or add upcoming tasks and potential projects.

The Weekly Recharge is just as important as any other weekly appointment you participate in, such as hair appointments, worship services, conference calls, meetings, sporting activities, etc. But, more importantly, the Weekly Recharge is a way of life in growing and remaining organized and productive.

Not using your system will have a trickledown effect that will be counterproductive of your goals. This system has become a critical factor for my success and it can be for you as well. It’s the habit that will keep you on track and moving forward with Getting the EDGE.

You can choose any day of the week for your Weekly Recharge. I prefer Friday. Friday is the end of the work week and a perfect time for me to reorganize the past weeks’ work and organize the upcoming week. This is also a great opportunity for me to enter the weekend not worried about what’s completed (or not completed). I also feel better about entering the new work week free and clear knowing what lies ahead.

Keep your EDGE by using your Weekly Recharge. I promise you will have a new level of organization and positive energy!
