I’m rifling through, I mean, organizing the piles on my “under-sized” desk, precariously choosing the tasks that offer the least amount of decision-making. That IS the whole, entire summation of our paper/clutter jungles – unmade decisions. Why such hesitation? Many reasons come plummeting to my overburdened mind:
1) Perfectionism – can’t make it final, until it’s perfectly perfect;
2) Guilt – I really “should” attend that potentially yawn inducing event;
3) Yes-itis – the Inability to shape the lips and utter “no thank you, I don't have time for that right now;"
4) “For-Now” ism – I’ll just lay this right here, “for now.”
The reasons are plenty and, usually, emotionally charged. The solution is practical. Make a decision. Put it on the calendar, or not. Perfect is not a requirement – Good enough is acceptable. Just do it. How many times do you want to reexamine that paper pile anyway?
