“Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.” ― Seth Godin, Poke the Box
This is a video I made yesterday, which is when I usually make videos. Anyhow, it’s about my continuing battle with clutter and piles of old books attempts to organize my office and save my heirs a shit ton of work when I’m no longer around.
Hey, so I’m engaging in a new habit. I have this book. I’ve had it for some time. I’ve read through it. I have tried to follow some of its advice. And actually, what I thought I would do is be a little more deliberate in my use of this book. What I’m going to try to do is use one of these tips every single day and see how it works out, how much progress I make. And actually, I have to admit the very first task he has in here, not task, but item, I guess. I don’t know.
Decluttering. Decluttering has been a huge problem for me. I have a tendency to keep old articles that I think would be great sources of potential ideas for stories. I have a tendency to keep old research and old drafts. I keep things in the interest of showing my work, so to speak.
