I think my biggest problem with getting organized is…
…actually putting aside a block of time to actually begin & then when I do start making separate files for everything I become overwhelmed.
I start to look at all the photos & read all the cards & decide to keep too many things that should be thrown out, & then I realize that I have spent 90 minutes doing all of this with practically no big results, so I put it all back with the goal of attacking it later on, but later on might not come for another week.
I’m sure you get the picture. Thank you.
My reply:
Hey Christopher – yes I know exactly how that goes…
It’s been a few weeks since you sent me that, so has anything changed yet?
My quick-fire suggestion is this:
Before you try doing anything in real-space, which is clearly quite hectic, first create an emotionally compelling vision of how you really want things to be on paper. That is, write out how things would ideally be arranged.
Only once you’ve done that is it likely that you’ll be able to move quickly to actually getting it all organized.
Let me know.
