Have you ever gotten that paralyzed feeling from some silly, seemingly daunting, project.
Perhaps it's straightening out the basement, or weeding the garden, or in my case currently.... filing.
Sometimes - my filing gets ahead of me. And so it waits.
Piling up.
It waits until I find this non-existent block of time... perhaps a rainy day, or maybe a blizzard where I am certain I will just make a cup of tea and sit down and plow through it.
um.. shyeah.. not gonna happen.
Does that happen to you?
So try this.
Just do a little.
No, really... just set a tiny little goal.
Today I filed a handful of papers.
You can't tell from looking at my piles.
But I know there's less now.
And I feel good.

Yes, I just put my paper piles in files & threw the rest away!
ahhhh. I can breathe again!
Have you ever banged your head on that ceiling?
Baby steps...makes it doable.
I keep telling myself that I'm going to clean out closets and get things ready for a yard/tag sale, but I've yet to do it.
Earlier this year I took an entire week off work to make a dent in the crap stored in the basement. I took three truck loads to the dump! Sadly, it's not done.
But, that's really good advice about doing a little bit at a time. It does feel as if you are getting something rather than nothing done...
