an L.A. State of Mind

Okay, I have too much going on. Internet overload is happening to me. I have too many emails, FB wall posts, calendar appointments. 

Why?! 

I am a highly dysfunctional, over-organized person. I make lists just to make lists. I have unrealistic goals setup daily. I have too many subjects on my mind to actually choose one and focus. I have been trying to learn about too many things at one time that I’ve almost distracted myself to the point of not achieving any one particular goal. 

I'm hoping for a better state of mind tomorrow...

Confronting My Cluttered Home Office

Last week, I was on the Ask Jack call and really learned a lot from it! So, the homework was to print out a worksheet called "My Irritations & Tolerations List." So, I did and filled out according to my home office.

Many things are irritating me in my home office area.

Here's the list: 3 boxes of sewing alterations, recipes, non-business papers/books, 2 containers of fabric, 3 bags of items for sale/donation, 1 box of books that I don't need, empty storage containers, hobby materials, clothes that I don't need, piles of materials/fabric, sales papers/coupons, project runway game that I bought on a whim, and gym items not being used.

So, there's many things that I need to address in this room that do not belong in there. This is the room I spend most of my day and want this space to be peaceful and organized. I have many tasks to accomplish and having a room filled with chaos is not helping.

I already have been accomplishing my irritations & tolerations list. I moved the recipes to the kitchen. I've been posting some items for sale on eBay & Amazon. Also, I've sorted items into separate piles in order to address them better.
