What makes the blog worth visiting?
My aim is to encourage and help folks be as organized as they need to be, as easily as possible. I like techniques that have a big payoff relative to the time spent, such as taking 5-10 minutes at the end of the day to tidy up your desk and write a few notes to help you get started quickly the next day. This not only speeds up your work the next day, but it allows you to formally stop working today and enjoy your evening.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
If you need to do some decluttering but find yourself putting it off, try this tip. A friend of mine likes to put on headphones and listen to music while she’s going through piles or boxes of stuff. The entertainment value helps the time go by, of course, but the headphones also serve to isolate her from the things she’s handling and that makes it easier for her to release them. When she’s in her own little musical world, she feels detached from everything else around her.
A big reason that it’s hard to get rid of things is that you get caught up in the “backstory.” If you find it hard to get rid of stuff because of all the associations and reminders and emotions it brings with it, try a little music and tune out.
