Famous Joshua Becker Quotes

“Approach the spaces in your home this way: First, your living room and family room. Second, your own bedroom and the other bedrooms in the house. Third, all the clothes closets. Fourth, your home's bathrooms and the laundry room. Fifth, your kitchen and dining areas. Sixth, your home office. Seventh, your storage areas, including your toy room and craft work spaces. Eighth, your garage and yard. ...this represents the easier-to-harder progression.”

“Before minimizing your home office, clarify in your own mind how you want it to work. Are you running a business out of there? Is it just for processing the household accounts? Do you want it to be inspirational, encouraging creativity and dreaming, or would you rather keep it sparse and utilitarian? Is it a retreat where you like to read a book or sip a drink- more of a den than a mere office? Is it for the whole family or just the parents?”

“What do you want your first impression of your home to be every day when you return? You don't have to face clutter and mess [in the garage], as you probably do now. Instead, you can experience spaciousness and order. What's even better is that it's going to be not just a practical reality but also a metaphor of the new life you are creating for yourself-- a life of openness, freedom, and opportunity.”
