Once and For All

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did. ~Newt Gingrich

Most of us have no problem organizing what is easy and convenient. You know, the "obvious" stuff.. tossing what's broken, donating what hasn't fit in many years, or filling the same bills month after month. I call it the "low hanging fruit".

But persistence and perseverance to see the organizing process through to the end is the challenge for most. You know, like getting all the way to the BOTTOM of the in-box for example, instead of filing the easy stuff, and leaving the "weird" papers behind week after week, month after month.

Practice leaving no stone unturned. By doing this, you will eventually find that EVERYTHING you own and keep is there with your permission. You have determined that it has a purpose, contribution, and place.
You can relax and find joy in knowing that nothing in your newly organized area is missing, in the way, or keeping you from what is important; there is nothing left to nag you, to resent, to make you feel you can not get control.
When you commit to starting the process of organizing any area, decide to also commit to being disciplined to see it through once and for all!
