Dear Son, do not give up because perfection seems (and most likely is) impossible. Be as organized as you can be. Build on your successes. Keep things simple. Keep things lean.
It may take decades, but at least you will aways be getting better.
PS. The bigger the home, the more there is to organize.
Staying organized isn’t just about our stuff. It’s also about our processes. And our decision making. And our decision making processes.
I always have a backup. One printer is not enough. We always have two.
Intentionally replaced the oldest one even though it was still working. Why? Because it didn’t offer mobile-capable wireless printing. Being organized is also about processes. Mobile device printing makes life more efficient.
Fed Ex delivers a package in a cardboard box and leaves it in the driveway. No big deal right?
What if it rains, what if the residents are away for a few days? What if…
What if the driver would have walked a few more feet and placed it by the front door, under the covered porch?
In an earlier post today about everything happens for a reason the lesson is clear:
This is a first world problem. Maybe the driver is going through some sort of personal hell. If it would have been damaged or stolen, it is replaceable. Let go of how it was handled compared to how you thought it should have gone down.
i learned to grow my patience with imperfection.
Because it’s what i hope other’s will do with my imperfections.
