I love NCIS and I laugh every time Gibbs whacks the back of someones head because they didn't see the obvious!
I felt like I had my own whack this past weekend. I am a clutter monkey. I love "stuff" and I have never met a "how to get organized" book that I didn't love! I just have never had the time to do it. So I am always searching for things...always.
As part of my life changing events I am working through I want to change that too~less is better. Very much better! And having that "less" organized is better yet. :)
I wonder how much time I have lost over the years looking for stuff. I shutter to think. But those days are going to be left behind. I have been a bit overwhelmed at the sheer volume of stuff I have to organize ..but that's where the whack to the back of the head came from.
I needed some paperwork this past weekend. While I was looking for what I needed I had to open box after box. What I needed wasn't in any of them...but I did get a good look at what was in each box and I realized the I can recycle lots of things right off the bat. The sheer volume can be whittled down pretty quickly I am sure.
It was like a cosmic whack to the back of the head Gibb's style. I stopped short and realized I was being intimidated by a task by it's sheer size...and when looking closer..I could break it down and get it done. In that instant ...honestly...in that instant once I realized that... I lifted a box and there sitting beneath it was what I needed.
Apparently I needed some insight first. The key with an insight is to use it...just not acknowledge it. So here's to less is more and finding things when I need them. May you be as blessed.
