It’s the lunar new year, don’t let things drag on. Ever tried to find your keys, and you look and end up at the first place you looked and there are your keys? You didn’t find them because there were other things on the desk, in the drawer or crammed into your purse or pocket? You kept looking because there were other options and possibilities. If your desk were clear OR if there was a common place to put your keys, you’d find them easily. You would not spend 10 minutes with a frantic search and panic. So, riddle me this, why not cut the crap and clean up?
Has anyone ever said, I used to be real creative, but I cleaned up my space and nothing? Really. Has anyone said I was good at math until I cleaned up and now I don’t compute. Are you in the middle of a mess? Then why? Not just your physical space, your mind. We’ve all said this, I need to focus. That’s because the mind can get cluttered too. So, cut the crap, clear the clutter. If not you, who? If not now when? If you don’t want to, why?
We know I am strange, but, what works for me – three piles, put away, throw away and I don’t know. You actually have to put stuff away that are put away, now, not later. Place the other items in either I don’t know or throw out in garbage bags or boxes. Psst, do a little bit a a time, 5 minutes a day doesn’t work. If things are already organized and tidy, yeah, sure. Otherwise, you have to do enough that you notice, it looks better, fit eels better, you can see the floor.
Next up, list the things you need to do. Cross out stuff you really don’t have to do then work your list. For times like right now when I’m out of control, I look at a week and list tasks by the day along with the amount of time I think I need for the task. How does this help the mind? You aren’t cycling thru items you need to do in fear of forgetting or trying to think when you can get the task done. If you happen to think of something not on the do list or you get a new item, add it.
So, Happy Lunar New Year. This is a good time to cut the crap, clear the clutter and get some order. Why? Because you will miss things. You will not see opportunities and invitations because too much is in the way. Have you bought something only to find out you already have it or something close. Or, you had to buy or borrow something because you could not find it? OK, enough from me; you’re grown. You can do what you. Be brutally honest with yourself if you think,.if I lived alone, if I had more space, if I had more time. Really? Don’t confuse how it got like that to why it stays like that. Go. Consider, the tidied space, the grounded mind and the wonderful things right in front of you.
