Clutter is Killing Me

Home Organization might be harder than I realized. I thought I was fairly organized. Until I I couldn't find my keyboard just now to type. I'm digging and culling through this pile now for about 45 minutes. I finally see the problem. It's me! I am the problem. Not my papers. Not my desire to read every ripped out article and note taken on the back of napkins. I write myself notes and quotes to check with at a later time. Later rarely comes.

I have this written on the back of one of Noah's assignments he brought home: "TO DO LIST THE NIGHT BEFORE AND PUT BY COFFEE MAKER" and a note to read Matthew 6:19. And on another I wrote, " most of the stuff I say is true because I saw it in a dream and I don't have the presence of mind to make up lies when I'm asleep". I cant remember who said that, but I remember reading it at the time and thinking it was damn funny.

I need a new motto: Read and Release. Saving stuff is suffocating!
