Well, I say just start it. I know that sounds simple, but that's because it is. Quit thinking about the certain task that really needs done but you really don't want to do and just start it. Even if you only have 15 minutes to devote to it right now, grab your timer, and get started! Just getting started will motivate you to work even more on it. Trust me on this, I know because I did it today. My bedroom is the room in our home that is the catchall for everything that does not have a home. My office space is also in my bedroom which doesn't help me. I'm ashamed to say that I had just shoved stuff in boxes and bags and then stuck them in my room on the floor. My desktop was lost in a mountain of papers and an assorted array of junk. It was just awful. I did take a couple before pictures but I'm not posting them until I can also post the finished, clean pictures too. I did make a huge amount of progress and I'm really proud of myself for just getting in there and starting it. I got 3 boxes of stuff moved to storage and 2 grocery sacks full of trash taken out. I can definitely see a difference which has motivated me to do even more tomorrow. I'm out of time today and have to quit, but I hope to be able to spend at least 15 minutes in there again tomorrow. So come on, if I can tackle my bedroom you can tackle whatever task you have been putting off. Make sure to leave me a comment and tell me about it. You CAN do it!!

Sharing my race of life in faith, fitness, food and family ~ 1 Cor 9:24-27
With a baby scheduled to arrive in 2 weeks tomorrow, I have an entire LIST of daunting tasks. I have neither time nor energy to accomplish all of them. I have them all on a list and am prioritizing. With homeschool still in full swing, I'm having to come to terms that my list will likely not get completed.
ReplyDeleteMy list is sort of in 2 categories: "absolute must" and "if I can get to it."
That said, isn't it amazing how much 15 minutes of good, hard, uninterrupted, un-distracted work can accomplish?
Elizabeth, you have a very good reason for not getting all your tasks done! Thank you for stopping by and I pray all goes well with delivery and baby!

Rashel,
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you are talking about. I too, am working on getting more organized around my home and have employed some tools to help me. Tackling things in the 15 minute sessions is one of them. It is so easy to fin 15 minutes to work on something. That is so much more doable than trying to block out hours with an already packed schedule. Can't wait to see the pictures!
