Starting Organising

Consider how hard it is to get started on some


organizing projects. Why risk being derailed by a disruption that need
not have occurred at all? Regardless of how many times you are
interrupted in a typical day or hour, recognize that the interruption itself
is not the major culprit. You ask, then, what is? The major culprit is
misdirection, dawdling, and downtime on the path returning to where
you were and what you were doing. So, my friend, do all you can to prevent interruptions
from occurring in the first place.

Embracing Powerful Perspectives 7

Hold the phones, bar the door, post a notice, and safeguard in
general your time and efforts whenever you're engaged in organizing a
space or place in your career or personal life. You'll finish that much
sooner and feel good about what you've accomplished, or at least you'll
feel more neutral, than if you constantly stop for the little things like the
telephone, e-mail, or to actually investigate Internet popup ads and their
promise of fame and fortune.
To tap the level of brainwave activity where you can think profoundly, meditate, go for a
walk in the woods, or take some other
action to vanquish noise and distractions. Some people choose to go on
vacation, take a drive, or take a break just by sitting on the porch or
sofa. Many people have tremendous moments of insight and resolve
while mountain climbing (or so I've been told). Others are able to
merely sit in a favorite chair and wait for inspiration to spring forth.
Some are able to use commuting time to great effect. The thoughts
generated during such times have potentially significant value, but they
are useless if not harnessed.

Once you've found a quiet space, literally or figuratively, determining what you want to
achieve is largely a question of values. What
type of project are you willing to commit to? What areas merit your
time and energy?

Depending on the nature of your work, your thoughts might be


among your most valuable assets to determine where to devote your
attention. While many people have recurring thoughts throughout the
day, some, if not most of these thoughts go unrecorded. Do you take
time to organize your thoughts? Do you remember your ideas, and how
to relay them, when they are original and creative? If not, you could be
shortchanging yourself in major ways without realizing it
