Does everything REALLY count?

I love the idea of setting an appointment with yourself…especially if you bring music and a comfy chair! Or maybe some chocolate…

Another way is to schedule the task you’ve been avoiding, and then KEEP THE APPOINTMENT.

If it is a task you find unpleasant, surround it with things that increase your pleasure: music, scented candles, comfortable chair or great view.

Clutter is a huge drain of time and energy — but I have a feeling I’m preaching to the converted. You know how “bad” clutter is for you; your problem is tackling the clutter, right?

I suggest hiring someone who can declutter your home or office. They’re called “declutter specialists” or “professional organizers” — and they can walk you through the whole process. They’ll also give you strategies for making sure the clutter doesn’t creep back into your life…which will help you overcome procrastination.

Did you know clutter is also linked to weight gain and financial debt? Here’s the link to “8 Tips for Reducing Clutter and Decreasing Debt”:

I hope this helps a little — good luck!

Found this article very interesting and informative. For me, I think that the perfectionism is one problem. Another issue I have is clutter, both at work and home. I find myself spending time looking for things and will reprint something rather than trying to find it. And I’ll find myself working on something else, rather than deal with the clutter. A lack of good organizational skills is probably an issue here. I think all of these are interrelated. Yes, I have a number of books that deal with conquering clutter, but I never read them. I’m not sure what the real issue is here, nor how to get unstuck.

Ideas?
