It just occurred to me this morning as I glanced around at the overstuffed bookshelf that never gets cleared off, “I don’t have to make time to tackle this BIG overwhelming project in order to get it done.” I don’t even need to make time to tackle ONE shelf.

I have always thought that ONE SHELF or ONE DRAWER was the lowest common demoninator in cleaning and organizing. But that is not true. What I need in order to succeed in my BIG GOALS are smaller goals…embarrassingly smaller goals. I CAN organize, sort, give away, throw away or otherwise dispose of or arrange FIVE books. Yes…FIVE. I can do this.
