Not gonna lie.

People say this with varying degrees of frequency.

You know, a figure of speech.

It usually is a prologue to some wonderful or some horrible situation that person is currently experiencing.

For example:

Not gonna lie, this has been a very busy Summer and the past few weeks, while amazing, have created a sense of overwhelm.

It’s the number one job to figure it out.

Your’s too.

All the stuff we collect, store, insure, and think is valuable…

You’re really busy right?

Even if we have free time, we tend to fill it with things we feel like we can no longer do without.

Always decently pressed for time. No?

One small backpack. No laptop. Three days. Two nights. Cab to and from Senior Living facility.

Blogging on plane with no wifi.

Be organized enough to be conscious enough to stretch out of our comfort zone.

Much like trying to lose weight, getting decently organized is a multi-year process that requires us to change many things.

Some changes are relatively small, like curbing souvenir purchases.

Some changes are painful, like purging things we saved but haven’t touched in 10, 20, or even 30 years.

Nature has a systematic way of organizing things. A system perfected from billions of years of experience.
