Hey everyone!  I’m here.  I’m supposed to be blogging about organizing.  Thing is…I was so intimidated by this whole process, I put it off forever.  And when I say forever, I mean more like 8 months.  Nevertheless, I’m here now and hoping to make this our first lesson in organizing.  DON’T PROCRASTINATE.  Now that you know I’m human, too, I hope you all will feel free to ask any organizing questions you have and I will be more than happy to address them in this blog.  I just can’t tell you how nice it feels to get this done and be able to blog.  Isn’t that how it always is, though?  We put something off forever, thinking we can’t do this or that…or we are intimidated by the mountain of effort it would take, etc.  Whatever the reason, procrastination seems to be a standard response for many people.  Why?  Do you know how long it took me to finally figure this out?  I’m embarrassed to say…about five minutes, give or take a few.  FIVE MINUTES.  And I put if off for 8 months.  I can only say this.  I’m sorry to those who asked me to post a long time ago.  I WILL do better, I promise.  And for those of you putting off something that seems huge…just try it.  It may take you forever.  Then again, it may embarrass you by how little real time it actually takes.  Whatever it is you’re putting off today…give it fifteen minutes of your time right now!!  You might get in the zone and keep working.  Great!!  And when you cross it off your list, post a comment and let us know what it is YOU accomplished by not procrastinating.

Go to it, peoples!   And I’d love to hear 1.  what you got done and 2.  any questions you might have that we can address here.

Happy Organizing!!
