Afraid of the Mess.... Help!
pooks | Jan 26 2006
So today is the day I decided to start on my office. I have a large inbox that is now filled with stuff off the top of my desk. I haven't touched what's on the other surfaces, in the drawers, etc. I'm afraid of the mess I'm going to make! I'm SO tempted to just take care of the desk first, and then move forward, instead of doing it all at once. Somebody who had a big job of this, quick -- tell me it works so that I can keep going! (The irony is, the office is a mess to begin with, thus the big piles that are going to start growing. The problem is I'm going to have to stack the stuff in the hall or living room, and am afraid of the mess taking over the rest of the house. Yikes!) 14 Comments

Thanks! Once I got past the original "what am I doing to my living room" panic, I was fine. I'm still emptying, and probably won't start processing until tomorrow because I have to quit in a little while and get ready for a presentation I'm giving tonight. I was tempted to accidentally break the glass front of a small entertainment center that is taking up space in here because my husband thinks it's too good to get rid of, but my better instincts won over. Instead I pulled out a sheet of paper and wrote, "Call Salvation Army to pick up ent. center." Yes, I feel liberated. (wink) » POSTED IN:
