			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is your environment making you think or cringe?  When you look at your room, do you feel peaceful or do you cry?</p>
<p>I am in the process of moving and am faced with this dilemma daily.  There are days when I just want to give up and torch the place.  Most of the time, I can&#8217;t bear to part with any of my belongings.  There are just so many of them. </p>
<p>The situation is simple, it does not matter how much you love your stuff or not.  If it is cluttered, your brain does not function properly.  Your productivity suffers.  So what do you do?  If you are live in complete chaos, take it slow, but do it.  Take one corner of one room per day.  The next day take the next corner, in the same room.  Do not stop until you finish with that room and then go to the next room in the house.</p>
<p>If you are lucky enough to have people helping you, take advantage of them and know one room out per day.  Maybe pick one day per weekend to do it in. </p>
<p>However you do it, give yourself a break.  Pat yourself in the back for getting something done every day and celebrate when you finish an area.  Just don&#8217;t buy anything that will clutter it up again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most important things drilled in my head from the time I was a child, was the importance of neat and clean.  I have no problem with clean.  I have never mastered neat.</p>
<p>How organized are you?  Can you find whatever you need whenever you need it?  Do you have entire pieces of furniture devoted to your things?  Or are they more spread out?  Are you a visual person, that needs to see all their belongings?  Are you a neat freak that likes to keep all their belongings neatly in a closet?</p>
<p>I can tell you that I need to see what I have.  The only thing that I love and that I have in disturbing amounts are books.  I have shelves everywhere.  All my tables are covered in books.  Clutter &#8211; I am working on that.  But some times, in the midst of a mess, I can tell you where everything is.  Peace is not organized for me.  Peace is that when the nun from my daughter&#8217;s confirmation class calls because they think we did not pay this semester, I can volunteer a copy of the receipt that is sitting on a pile of receipts at my right in my office cubicle under the notebook I threw there last night (yes, I have a cubicle in my home office, and it is a mess right now).</p>
<p>Now, if only I could guarantee that all my tax receipts were so easy to find&#8230; <img src='http://aviddiva.biz/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>To be continued&#8230;</p>
<p><em><strong>Un escritorio limpio es símbolo de una mente enferma?</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Una de las cosas más importantes que me grabaron en la mente desde chiquita, era la importancia delimpieza y nitidez.  Nunca he tenido problemas con la limpieza.  No he podido dominar la nitidez.</em></p>
<p><em>¿Cuan organizada es usted?  ¿Puede encontrar lo que necesita cuando lo necesita?  ¿Tiene todo nítidamenteorganizado en muebles por toda la casa?  ¿O prefiere tener las cosas regadas?  ¿Es usted una persona quenecesita el estímulo visual de ver todo lo que posee?  ¿Es usted una fanática de la nitidez, que prefiere tenertodas sus pertenencias encerradas en su vestíbulo? </em></p>
<p><em>Yo puedo decir que tengo que poder ver mis pertenencias a simple vista.  Mi posesión más preciada, algoque tengo en cantidades abrumadoras, son mis libros.  Tengo anaqueles por todas partes.  Tengo montonesde libros en todas las mesas.  El desorden &#8211; estoy trabajando para mejorar eso.  Pero a veces, en medio delcaos, yo puedo decirle donde encontrar cualquier cosa.  La paz para mi no está en la organización.  Si la monja de la clase de confirmación de mi hija llama porque necesita copia del recibo de pago, la paz para mi se encuentra en decirle que le puedo hacer una copia, porque tengo el recibo en un grupo de recibos queestá a la mano derecha de mi cubículo, debajo de una libreta que tiré allí anoche (si, tengo un cubículo en mi oficina en casa, y ahora mismo, es un desastre). </em></p>
<p><em>Ahora, ya me encantaría poder jurar que los recibos para reclamar los impuestos fueran tan fáciles de encontrar&#8230;  <img src='http://aviddiva.biz/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>
<p><em>Este tema continuará&#8230;</em></p>
