A couple of days ago, I thought, ‘I’ve got to clean up this email!’ I have literally more than 50,000 email messages!!!! Now, do you see why you should REALLY email Mark or Brandie instead of me? 
That’s when the topic above flashed in an email from one of my favorite magazines, Real Simple.
However, my first thought was, “You’ve got to be kidding me! REALLY??? This is what we all need to be doing with our time?” Funny that I would be thinking that about cleaning out a frig as I considered the 50,000 emails in Outlook.
I didn’t read the article, but thought about the considerations. What caught my attention was ‘matching containers’ and I thought, “Is this really all we have to do with our lives? No way!”
This morning, as I looked more closely at the article, I realized that there is a great deal of wisdom in getting organized in general. To take it to the extreme and get obsessed about matching this and that, well, that’s up to you and how you want to spend your life.
What I realized as I reflected on the ideas in the article is that living in order vs. chaos gives an amazing gift of time and living to us all. When we don’t commit to some type of structure that will allow us to be free and who we are, then we spend our life force running around putting out fires all the time – overdue bills, overdue library books, overdue school projects, inspections that are out, events missed. Oh, and expired guacamole.
You can have your own brand of order in a structure that works great for you. It’s up to you to find that. On the other side is a whole lot of living –that’s for sure!
Did you hear that refrigerators now come with a shaved ice option??? Sweet!
