The Best of Intentions

I was a highly motivated crumpet busting to get started on my latest project this morning, ideas were flowing, I had a positive attitude and a fresh mug of tea.  But hello - this is what I saw when I got to my worktable; a mess that stopped my flow of good vibes dead in their tracks:

Lightbulb!

Here is THE reason I can't focus, have no direction and get all discombobulated by the end of the day.  In essence - I'm a pig.

Day after day, this is how my worktable ends up.  I have no follow through when it comes to putting my things away.  I have to fight against my inner desire to leave a wake of destruction around me all for the sake of "creating".

So my new promise to myself from this day forward is - CLEAN UP!  I'm going to try and start every day with a clean workspace and end every day by cleaning up after myself. Maybe I will be able to focus a little better from now on.


Here's my new work space after 2 minutes of tidying:

Not a huge effort, but it's usually the simple things that get pushed aside.  Aaaah,  I feel the creative juices flowing again.

Now if I can just apply this principle to the rest of my life, I'll be unstoppable.  But I know me.....I'm sure I'm going to fall off the wagon many times before it becomes a habit.  But acknowledgement is the first step toward recovery.  Here's hoping!
