Ease Drop On Clearing Clutter Interview

On January the 12th which was Show ‘N Share Tuesday I showed how I had gotten rid of clutter in my in box in my office. Edna wrote and asked if I would elaborate a little on how I see it as “fun”. She asked, “Is there fun, before, during and of course after? If it is approached as “fun” is their a more likelihood of completing the desired goal much faster? hum!!!!”

Actually I didn’t approach it as though it would be fun. I set my goal which was to get my in box completely cleared out. I set a reasonable goal of when I thought I could have it accomplished. It took a little longer that I had anticipated, but that was o.k. because I could see progress and any time I am doing something to get rid of clutter makes me happy.

And I found getting rid of clutter was a fun project because of the way I felt as I saw the paper pile shrinking. It was also fun to me because everything had a designated home and so it was easy to take care of it. (I just had to schedule the time to do it).

And to see the end result was fun because of the way it looked, the way I felt and that it was done. I don’t get discouraged if something is taking longer than I wanted it to, I just keep my eye on my goal and sometimes the reward I’ll get when it is done.
