It sure didn't take me long to get frustrated with going through old paper. I've only done one box today. You know, sometimes I can see the light at the end of the tunnel . . . and sometimes I can't.
I started feeling a bit overwhelmed about everything this morning and went on a sort of tirade. My brother Nick was on the receiving end, but fortunately had a better grip on his temper than I did.
Once I calmed down, I started thinking that if I'm feeling overwhelmed, then maybe I should take a break from de-cluttering and just veg out for a couple days. But I realized almost right away that if I cave in now, I don't stand a chance of ever clearing it all out. The only reason I'm making progress in so many areas of my life right now, is that I am resolved to do something toward my goals every single day, no matter how small a thing, no matter what! And I know myself all too well. If I "take a day off," I won't actually get back to business after my "break", and in four or five months from now I will have accomplished nothing!
So I went right back to work and started feeling better about things right off! Someone must have flicked the light switch back on, down at the other end of the tunnel.
