Organised

I was asked how to be organised. I thought for a moment and the first word that came to my mind was "TOUCH SOMETHING ONCE". So simple, yet so powerful. To be truthful, this was probably the first time I had voiced what I generally did with me. If you touch it once, you deal with it. If you pick it up numerous times, all you are doing is creating clutter. Clutter breeds and before you know it, there is piles of stuff everywhere all required immediate attention. We become overwhelmed and perpetuate the feeling of being hopeless and unorganised thus ensuring the cycle continues.

I have slipped a little in my observance of my little rule. I may be touching it 3 times now, but I always know when this happens for a fall into a state of disarray. It becomes bedlam in my mind, then quickly following into my house.

It is time to stop the touching. Time to go back to touching once.

In time, you will find that you just have too many things that needs touching and you feel the urge to simplify the systems you have. We all can have too many things, too many pens, too many craft books, all purchased with good intentions, just never the follow through.

Time to touch them once again. To either keep and honor or remove to bless someone else.

It is time....touch something once.
