Today begins day four of the first workweek as a retiree.

There was a fair amount of catchup work to do because the actual date only left 25 days notice.

Add in travel, a big work load, and a pressing deadline and you have the perfect recipe for the paperwork of life to pile up quickly.

Made a big dent in the pile yesterday.

Goal for today – eliminate any remaining pile.

The daily work required to free ourselves up from the burden of work left undone is insidiously draining.

The paperwork of life is relative

Pretty organized to keep each room cooled

 

Dozens of window units or one large central air conditioner on the roof?

These are among the literally overwhelming number of decisions a large scale operation has to make.

It’s the same for a single family residential unit too. Or a small business owner.

The paperwork of life is relative, and always overwhelming if not decently organized.

How to tell if you’ll be buried alive?

organized
find systems and processes that work for what you have

Having a full-time career involving travel, being a parent, spouse, running a small startup entrepreneurial business, volunteering, exercising, studying, managing a host of other things….it’s easy to get behind and eventually to get buried.

Truly, developing systems and processes to get and stay decently organized is a matter of survival.
