The Brat Factor™

Click on the picture of Kathleen to hear what the Mouth Trap spokesperson has to say

Mouth Traps, when used as directed, will give you time to think before complaining, snacking, smoking, drinking or whining. Keep your Mouth Traps in strategic places where you know you tend to be tempted. All you have to do is catch the first thought (which comes with a parade of similar thoughts) and slap on a Mouth Trap. Ten minutes allows time for "the parade" and when the last thought passes by you're free to remove the trap. There are ten different styles on a page and three pages for a total of 30 Mouth Traps which can be re-used several times. $4.95.

How Does The Brat Factor™ Planner Do That?

Manage your brat, not just your time. Awareness is the first step in managing your brat and it will be your on-going challenge, but as long as you keep it fun, you will win. The Brat Factor™ Planner is the only planning software that incorporates a “mindfulness reminder,” that helps you become aware of your inner brat throughout the day. Once you’re aware of “who’s in charge,” you can begin to manage it so it doesn’t run you and your life.
Switch tasks intelligently, with attention to your highest priorities-- If you are easily sidetracked, you know it’s not hard to end up in the garage with your bra in one hand and your Bible in the other. Outer distractions like young children, pets, a husband, telephones, housework and yard work can pull you in a bazillion directions, but throw in your susceptibility to your own brat’s interruptions and you have distraction soup. The Brat Factor™ Planner’s secret to minimizing AND shortening the inner distractions and your talent for hyper focusing when you get into a project, oblivious to time, is its option for a priority task list along with the above-mentioned “mindfulness reminder.” At designated intervals your computer will remind you to become aware of who is in charge. Then you can choose something from your priority task list and get back on track.
Break down large tasks into manageable parts.You can only eat an elephant one bite at a time. Because we tend to become overwhelmed with what is involved in organizing an efficient and happy home, we can “freeze” and do nothing. The Brat Factor™ Planner allows you to divide your home and all its activities into five zones. You will be able to see with a glance what zone you are in for each day and thereby focus on that particular section of your home. The Brat Factor™ Planner displays the zones in a tree view, so you can see the small pieces and the big picture all at the same time.
Be ready for the holidays, BEFORE they arrive.In addition to The Brat Factor™ Planner software, you will receive ten lists of various activities. A holiday list of activities is included and you will be able to customize that list and enter the data into your planner.
Get places on time.We sidetrackers have a lousy concept of time. When we are supposed to be somewhere at 3:00, that time gets stuck in our heads, not the time we should start getting ready to include a reasonable amount of time to get to the place. If we allow ourselves too much time we invite our inner brats to think up something else to do in that “free” time. The Brat Factor™ Planner has an industrial strength reminder system. It supports multiple reminders, as many as you need, as far in advance as you need them. The Brat Factor™ Planner also has spoken reminders; you can record yourself and hook up to speakers in your home. Even when you are away from the computer you won’t be far away from your intentions.
Serve nutritious meals on time.Once you program into your daily schedule “time” to prepare meals, the rest is easy. A great cookbook The Phony Gourmet (only available on the SHE website www.shesintouch.com) with its motto: “It’s not what you do it’s what they think you do,” might be the perfect cookbook for your brat. With 75 delicious recipes including soups, salads, main dishes and desserts, it will inspire your brat to want to play in the kitchen.
Stop procrastinating.The solution to procrastination is awareness. Nine times out of ten, the decision to put off doing something you need to do now is your brat’s decision. Once you become aware of your brat’s voice, you will be able to take control and do what is needed to do. If you follow your brat’s natural appetite for procrastination at least you know you have a safety net built into the Brat Factor™ Planner. You can’t get far off on the procrastination track with the reminder popping up in your face or ear “Who’s in charge?”
Welcome unexpected company.No more entertaining on the front lawn because the house is trashed. When you follow the simple five-zone method of housecleaning included in the Brat Factor™ Planner, you will find that your home will always be ready for unexpected company.
Experience the liberation and peace of mind order brings.There is a natural order and it IS organized. When you get organized you align yourself with the natural order of the Universe! Order is like getting the right string on the bag of sugar or dog food. Once you get a hold of it you experience liberation and peace. The opposite of order is chaos. Chaos creates stress. Order creates harmony, joy and peace. It is a state of being.
