Being organized also includes the most obscure category ever.

Our thoughts.

Having our thoughts organized means having our priorities organized.

Guessing we didn’t see that one coming.

Guessing we’d struggle if put on the spot.

Why? Most of us figure we’ll sort this out when life slows down and we have more time to focus on it.

Or, we’re simply surrounded by a society that manages to survive without being crystal clear.

Most of us are at least 50 years old.

Shouldn’t we have our priorities carved in stone by now?

Who teaches us work life balance? Who shows us the way? Who tells us the truth?

Part of being organized is creating or securing funds for future projects.

Balance can elude us until we accept that fact that there are five big buckets (choices) in life.

  1. mental health
  2. physical health
  3. emotional health
  4. career health
  5. home health

Getting motivated is the beginning. Staying there our entire lifetime is the real work.

What can we do when work starts piling up and control seems to be evaporating? Three choices:

  1. Figure it out and do it yourself
  2. Figure it out and hire someone
  3. Figure it out and don’t worry about not getting it done

Life is simple. Simple doesn’t mean easy. Figure it out. No one will do this for us because we’re adults.

Eventually, we harvest the fruits of our labor

So tempting to compromise, or worse, to quit…

Eventually, we harvest the fruits of our labor. Nine months after filling our new pool with water, the landscaping crew will be here this morning to begin the transformation from weeds to paradise.

Why did it take so long?

Maybe better to ask, how did you manage to not give up?
