Don't wait to get organized to feel relief

When I emailed this to a coaching client, she replied, "You're both poetic and wise! It's so true and it applies to many things. Finding the path is huge! After that, it's clear sailing because I know where I'm going. Even though there are bumps in the road, knowing the way gives me hope, peace of mind, and motivation to proceed to my destination. It's a spiritual quest."

It echoes a sentiment I’ve shared many times over the years. No matter where you are in your organizing journey, it’s possible to feel relief. No matter how much you have to sort, it’s possible to feel hopeful from where you stand. Sometimes a client’s project might take dozens of hours before we’re “finished," but I love seeing them find a sense of hope just an hour or two in! Once they've uncovered more space than they’ve seen in a while, or set out a few boxes for donation for the first time in ages, the joy of organizing creeps in. This happens all the time. What can you do today to put yourself on the path to being more organized? Can you let that be the goal first, instead of being frustrated that you haven't arrived?
