Sometimes you need a friend or family member to keep us on task. I got this email from my friend, Deb, sharing what happened after a little organizing support from her (non-attached) daughter:
“I thought of you again recently when my dear daughter Julia helped me to tackle my kitchen desk area which had turned into a dumping ground for some time.
She had a great approach to tackling it – I am detail oriented and get so distracted with each little thing – ie here is an old newspaper and I am going to read it right now – she kept me on task and we got everything categorized in simple terms and stowed away.
It was like a log jam broke and my energy started flowing in new ways – I started to attack all sorts of projects and phone calls I kept putting off continuously – It seriously was as if a large weight had been removed from me. Unreal – I knew you of all people would appreciate this story, xo d”
Is there someone you can call upon to help you stay focused and on task for a few hours? Someone who isn’t attached to all the newspaper articles and catalogues that you plan to read “some day.”
It may be just want you need to break the log jam.
