Getting organized is similar to losing weight

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.

Just because?

The poster is funny, but worry is not.

That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent. – Chinese Proverb

Like anything else, effort, focus, discipline, coupled with the inevitable fear, frustration, and doubt will take us past where we are to a better place.

We know this.

Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean you can’t do it.

So sure of ourself one minute, so afraid the next

We can only be or have one or the other, not both

 

When we set a big goal and prepare for it for several years, something obvious happens. Time passes.

And the closer we get the reality gradually amplifies.

To a fever pitch sometimes.

Ranging from feelings of separation (like from a sudden death) anxiety to unbelievable excitement for the next greatest adventure in life.

Not uncommon to change your mind several times in a single day. And each decision seems final, until it doesn’t again.

It feels like insanity sometimes.

So sure of ourself one minute, so afraid the next.

Why?

Decision decisions…

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. – Amelia Earhart

The reward for making a decision is in the making of it.

Regret is a poor reward for choosing to not decide.

Especially when the choices are compelling and exciting (and fearful).
