Putting Off Organizing – Because You Don’t Know Where to Start 07.08.10

What have you been putting off doing now for months/years? Organizing your office? De-cluttering your space? Purging worn out/unused belongings? Maybe it is sorting through year’s worth of photos. I could go on and on about other things we tend to put off doing because we can’t figure out the best way to begin the project.

This is a very common practice for all sorts of things we face in life. Yes, it is procrastination. But, it is procrastination with a purpose. You are waiting until you figure out where and how to start, or until someone helps you figure it out. I can relate. Today, I am blogging for the first time. And I am starting my blog with a true confession.

Let’s have a little fun together with my “fill in the blanks” section. Feel free to use the words that come to your mind.

  • I have wanted to ____________ for many months/years. (Examples: get organized, travel, change jobs)
  • I feel ____________ because I keep putting it off. (Examples: frustrated, angry, embarrassed, powerless, ashamed)
  • Continually putting it off lowers my ____________ (self-esteem, joy, self-worth)
  • I have investigated it in the following ways ____________. (books, blogs, websites, other people)
  • Do IT! ____________

My True Confession

  • I have wanted to start blogging for many months/years. (Examples: get organized, travel, change jobs)
  • I feel embarrassed because I keep putting it off. (Examples: frustrated, angry, embarrassed, powerless, ashamed)
  • Continually putting it off lowers my joy (self-esteem, joy, self-worth)
  • I have investigated it in the following ways, all of these. (books, blogs, websites, other people)
  • Do IT! start blogging

So here you have it, my first blog post and my first true confession. I encourage you to take that step and do it. If you need the assistance of a professional travel agent, organizer or recruiter… just Do It! I used the encouragement and help of loving people I network with, some of which are paid professionals. You have to do what you have to do to get started.

I am here for you. My passion is organizing, if yours is not… give me a Buzz! (Wow, this sure felt great)

Cheers!

Nancy
