Unsurmountable Task

Making a difference doesn't always have to be for someone else. It can be something you are trying to accomplish for you too!!! Let's take a few minutes and take time for ourselves and begin taking steps to 'Mount the unsurmountable task' in our lives ;O)

Do you have an area that you are trying to organize or just plain clean???
A room, a garden, a garage.basement.whatever??

Then try these ideas...
1.) First know it did not get that way in one afternoon or day, it won't go away that fast either
2.) Then set yourself a couple containers and be honest with yourself, KEEP..GIVE AWAY..TRASH..THINK ABOUT (don't let this one get too big)
3.) Now a time frame, take it in small steps to start, 15 minutes then break (you can do more than one time frame in a day, but space them)
4.) Keep the area reasonable. Maybe one area of a room at a time, and focus. Don't move stuff from one area to another, use your containers.
5.) Allow yourself to breathe, but be realistic. Don't keep a bunch of stuff you know in your heart you won't use. Don't give away stuff that is dirty, stained, or broken. Think of those who could use what you have just sitting around. If you haven't worn or used something in, say 6 mos. to start, you probably never will. With practice you can narrow that down to less time.
6.) It is okay to be nervous, some people are very attached to stuff. I know I have that issue; but with practice it is getting easier.
