20) Don’t organize
By- You shoes- do you really need 10 or 20 or 80 pair of shoes
- Your books – see my previous blog post
- Your DVD’s or CD’s (guilty here) major sign of procrastination
- Your stamp collection unless you’re Hercule Poirot
- Anything that doesn’t lead to an increase in productivity or a simplification of life
In all seriousness it’s OK to organize some of these things but you must stop and ask yourself the following questions:
- Is this really procrastination?
- How will this lead to me saving time or adding measurable productivity to my life or work.
- Even if this needs to be organized is it a priority to do it right now?
If you’re stuck, then sometimes action of any kind will help you get moving and achieve little successes. In that case pull out the books and clean out the pantry. Take the dog for a walk or mow the grass. Lift some boxes and sweat a little, then quickly get back to the things that matter today.
I am terrible at this and that’s exactly why I’m writing it.
