organizing - day no. 1 - socks

so it is time for me to start offering advice on organizing. for ten minutes a day i will give you projects to get your home on the road to organization...just 10 minutes.

1. sock drawer
empty the drawer on your bed. put the pairs together. discard any that are single socks, those with holes are frayerd, and the ones you no longer wear. arrange remaining pairs by color and type. put them back in the drawer.
less than 10 minutes and you are done!

just say ahhhh

yesterday i complained about dealing with going to the doctor. i so don't have anything to complain about and i got a big reality check when i met up with a brand new client. she has an undiagnosed illness and has been suffering from it for the last two years. she has tested positive as well as negative and has been sucked down the rabbit hole into the life of going to the doctor. and she is not my only client in this position. i have worked with a variety of people in the last couple months who either directly or indirectly through a family member have found their worlds consumed with medical appointments and as a result their home lives have turned into clutter chaos. not only are they impact physically but even more challenging is the mental component. having an illness can consume your life and the lives of those around you. wow. i have nothing to complain about.
i am going to make a doctor's appointment today to deal with my little things and then be done with it. there is work for me to do to help those who currently can not help themselves.

don't you hate medical stuff

despite my somewhat healthy lifestyle, i have had my fair share of medical issues. so now when something presents itself i have a tendency to ignore it. and that means when i finally actually seek medical attention and the doctor asks me "how long have you been experiencing this symptom". i really have no idea because i ignore the symptoms for as long as possible.
ugh. hate it.
so why am i talking about it?
because darn it all i have a couple minor things i need to deal with which means going to the dr.
ugh. hate it.
maybe if i just wait one more day...

happy monday.

sunday

sunday for me brings two things to mind.
1. enjoy the day as it is the "weekend" even if i am weeking
2. the optimistic plan of all that i am going to accomplish for the week ahead

so on this sunday, i prepare to go to work for a couple hours and then after meet up with my husband to watch the san francisco forty niners in the super bowl.
i also will take part of this day to play my schedule to practice yoga, eat right and achieve work goals.
it is on sunday that all is possible and i am mentally focused on getting it done.

but for the next 9 minutes, i am relaxing in bed, drinking my coffee and enjoying the feeling of nothing to do.

happy sunday. i hope you get as much out of it as i do.

can i take it to the next level?

i am beginning to realize that in order for me to take my businesses to the next level i have to go bigger. my friend matt who is advising me on advertising has made me understand that i have to be brave, assume some risk and believe i can do it. to just struggle to get by is not enough. i have to have bigger goals and dreams which will get me to my ultimate goal in both the organizing and the yoga businesses which is to reach a larger audience.
currently i have been focusing on getting just enough people for this current retreat and with that my scope of customers is small. matt is teaching me about growing an audience from a larger pool of people to build an ongoing retreat business.
it is fun and exciting and nerve wracking...all at the same time. we are making videos, giving give away gifts, attempting to develop a data base. as matt says he wants to streamline my ad campaign to the point that i am inundated with people. then we can use these same tactics on my organizing business.
i still have some trepidation but i think he is right.
anything is possible right?

can these hands support me?

for so long i have always relied on myself and at best my husband john to achieve any goal i set. well i am learning quickly that i am surrounded by some really great people with some really great ideas who can say goal bar even higher. i am having trust and faith to put myself in their hands. at first it feels uncomfortable and then it feels freeing to let go of the need to try to cover everything on my own. and with that i have faith that everything is going to turn out great...
i hope!
