This year I am working part time (not my choice) but yet I have accomplished less. I thought in September that working part time would enable me to completely get the house in order. Not so, because I am living through a construction project that will never end. I have actively avoided being in the house most afternoons because I can't stand to be there with the workers present. It feels like I am living in their house. If I go home and they aren't there it feels strangely deserted. I need uninterrupted time-no kids, no workers, no place to go-in order to really get organized. At least that's what my mind says. But can I change my thinking to take advantage of 15 minutes here or there to do the real organizing? Not the daily cleanup-I am capable of that. I'm talking about organizing the monster-which is really, if I narrow it down, one area of my life. The paper. Yes, that's really it. Why do I have such a mental block against the paper? I should just do one box at a time. I have completely stopped buying anything unnecessary in the past few years. So all that I really have left is the things that accumulated "before I saw the light"
I will try to tame the paper monster. Really! I'll report back to see how I did.
