Warming up

Now that it's almost the merry month of May, see this change of season as an opportunity to assess your living space and what's in it.

You could start with your desk. What's on it? What does it look like every morning? Can you find the important papers you will need today, this week? Are you able to work at your desk or do you have to take a seat elsewhere to do what you have to do?

No judgment. Just taking a different perspective.

What's next? Start somewhere on the desk and check out in that specific area what you really need, what has been missed, what you can do to clear that part of the desk that has gotten literally out of hand. Then take each piece of paper one at a time and sort through and see what you must retain, can retain, file or toss. Liberation time. You've begun your journey to an organized desk space. Here's a reward. A stroll outside to enjoy this glorious weather. Thanking yourself for a job you got to do for yourself. Merry Spring!
