Yet, I still spend so much time doing the sitting around and thinking part. Working on it, though, definitely working on it. Glad I'm not alone with the challenge! :) Ally: So true!

I agree that dismantling external clutter can clear the way for so many other things. I have had issues with letting things pile up and dealing with them far later than I should. I've found I go in and out of living in integrity with myself (my actions matching my values), but I'm getting closer to sticking with it. And I hear you about fear and procrastination taking hold. Sometimes it's as simple as taking action rather than sitting around and thinking about it. :) Your desk area looks so nice!

Somehow, everything falls into place, or at least doesn't feel as catastrophic. Welcome to PN, btw!

Trouble is, I've been doing it for years, and so far it hasn't had any beneficial effect in my life . . . I think it's that terrible comfort trap. Inaction and indecision lead me to a known result -- the life I already have -- while action leads to something new and unimaginable. Even though the new sounds wonderful in my head, my fear of the unknown battles to win every time. .-= gail´s last blog ..<a href="http://grandmagogreen.blogspot.com/2010/03/another-prize.html" rel="nofollow">Another prize!</a> =-.

To clear my head I really like to wander around the city. I think the combo of personal time and a low key physical activity helps the thinking process. It works especially well at night, and super especially well on warm nights. .-= Sean´s last blog ..<a href="http://theanarchistproject.wordpress.com/2010/03/16/methadone-mary/" rel="nofollow">Methadone Mary</a> =-.

It looks great! I constantly battle with procrastination. It's weird too because I LOVE organizing. Baby steps is truly the key in my opinion. I've found setting a 15 min. timer helps when I'm overwhelmed. I'm always amazed at how much I get done in that short period of time. .-= molly´s last blog ..<a href="http://dillydallylollygagger.blogspot.com/2010/02/slacker-sunday-revisited.html" rel="nofollow">slacker sunday: revisited.</a> =-.
