I have no idea what to do about my office. As my husband says, it looks like a bomb exploded. When he said that, all I could think to say was, “But I’m organizing it.” The problem with that is it’s been in this messy state for about a week. Another one of my favorite excuses is the idea that I need more book shelves. The problem with that one is, it’s the MAIL that’s all over the floor, not my books.

I need to commit to cleaning it. So I set my timer today for 26 minutes and… cleaned the kitchen. I procrastinated cleaning the office for some reason. I don’t understand why because it really is the messiest part of the house.

So my challenge to myself is to set my timer for 60 minutes and CLEAN THE OFFICE. I know I’ll be more productive. I know this will help me in the long run. I need to stop doing my work in this condition. You know it’s bad when you have to wade through piles of mail in order to get to your desk.

And once it’s clean, I can focus on organizing my business and my home by keeping track of expenses and earnings much more efficiently.
