Afraid of the Mess.... Help!
pooks | Jan 26 2006
So today is the day I decided to start on my office. I have a large inbox that is now filled with stuff off the top of my desk. I haven't touched what's on the other surfaces, in the drawers, etc. I'm afraid of the mess I'm going to make! I'm SO tempted to just take care of the desk first, and then move forward, instead of doing it all at once. Somebody who had a big job of this, quick -- tell me it works so that I can keep going! (The irony is, the office is a mess to begin with, thus the big piles that are going to start growing. The problem is I'm going to have to stack the stuff in the hall or living room, and am afraid of the mess taking over the rest of the house. Yikes!) 14 Comments

The great part, as you start to put together NAs and such (as I've found this week -- hi all, new here) is that you're not preoccupied with stuff that's not at hand; all the material you have to worry about has been taken into the system. For me, that by itself is a tremendous, *tremendous* step.
I haven't plunged forward the way I should with NAs and the rest of the program -- I've just been enjoying the benefits of the "collection" and "process" parts. Hi, my name is Alan and I now like planning again. » POSTED IN:
