I Don’t Know Where To Start
When I walked into my office, I started to feel crushed in. I knew it was time to do a thorough cleaning of my office. I felt the usual, “Where do I even start?” feeling. So I did what I usually do with clean up projects like this.
I tore up some paper and on each piece I wrote a section of my office to clean. I started at the door and wrote, “Top of file cabinet”, “Floor next to file cabinet”, “printer stand”
For my desk I broke it down even further – left desk, middle of desk, right desk, CD area, papers in inbox and cubbyhole.
I turned the pieces of paper over, mixed them up and had my daugher which paper was first. My office didn’t take nearly as long as I thought it would when I started.
I have found that often times when I don’t know where to start or I have procrastinated on something, it’s because I haven’t broken the project down far enough.
Do you have any projects that need to be broken down? Need help? Join the Pleasant Projects Class starting August 8th.
I help the overwhelmed create saner, simpler lives.
I deliver…
Untamed possibility. Breathe easier simplicity. Hope. On the wings of understanding and encouragement. Step by step breaking down from “no way! “ to “why not?”
