Toxic Trash
CDs
and DVDs
take decades to break down, and release toxic fumes if
incinerated. Best Buy collects and recycles them.
All
fluorescent light bulbs
contain minute traces of mercury. Drop them off in collection
bins at Home Depot or IKEA.
I Can’t Organize Today Because . . .
Ideas from Marcia Gracia, Get Organized Now
I
Can’t Organize Today Because . . . I
don’t know where to start.
The only wrong response to this excuse is to not start at all.
Organizing or being organized is a way of life. You can
literally jump in anywhere and start.
I
Can’t Organize Today Because . . . the
kids are home.
Make them part of your organizing – valuable lessons learned.
I
Can’t Organize Today Because . . . I
don’t have the money.
You simply need to pick a project and start. Important first
step is purging your no longer needed belongings and coming up
with a plan for the stuff that will remain. Don’t spend a
bunch of money on organizing supplies until you know what has to
be stored.
I
Can’t Organize Today Because . . . it
will take too long.
If you have just 5 minutes, you can begin to organize.
Pick a drawer or the medicine cabinet and purge. Take baby
steps.
I
Can’t Organize Today Because . . . I like
all of my things and do not want to get rid of anything!
Often things have outlived their usefulness. Look at other
items as simply items and not the memories associated with them
and then it is easier to let the item itself go. Allow yourself
the freedom to keep the good memory not the item.
I
Can’t Organize Today Because . . . I’m
afraid to do it wrong!
The only way to really do it wrong is to not do it.
There is very little about organizing that can’t be undone if
necessary.
"Success
with Failure"
- quotes
Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things.
The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions:
could have, might have, and should have.
Louis E. Boone
Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no
loss of enthusiasm.
Sir Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965)
Would you like me to give you a formula for success?
It is quite simple, really; double your rate of failure.
You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success, but it
isn’t at all.
You can be discouraged by failure – or you can learn from it.
So go ahead and make mistakes.
Make all you can. Because, remember that’s where you will find
success.
Thomas J. Watson
