Are You Sick Of Being Stuck?

By christy

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction. – Albert Einstein

So, here we are… you and me. We’ve made our lives big, complex, and violent and I’m assuming we can agree that it’s not working. Aren’t you relieved that we both possess the touch of genius and courage necessary for us to move in the opposite direction?

Yes, we do.

Seriously, we do. Don’t argue with me. I know things!

For one, I know that we are far more amazing than we realize.

I know that our lives have become so big because we were finding our way to this moment, to this place at this exact time where the new way of being could reveal itself to us. I know that we’ve cultivated such complexity because we needed it to survive the past, and that the time has come for us to leave all of that behind.

I know that we are a product of those who contributed our DNA, plus every experience we’ve had up until this moment. I know that some of those experiences were hard, harder than we even know how to wrap our brains around… not to mention all that we’ve done and will continue to do to heal our hearts.

See? I know things.

9 Clutter-Clearing Tips For Paper Stashers

By theshaeman

My inner writer is primarily a story teller and I cannot usually be counted on for a list of tips about how to clear paper clutter. But, I am also a teacher and lately in the Sick of Being Stuck program, my students are up to their eyeballs in paper and begging for tips. That usually means that lots of you are too, so today we’re going to try something different. Here are the first 9 clutter clearing tips for those who have bags, boxes, and stacks of paper stashed in the closets, spare bedrooms, dining rooms and on counter tops all about this fine planet of ours:

1. Getting Things Done (GTD) – It’s a book that will help you create a system for organizing your life that is both customizable and easy to implement. If you don’t have a system that you use to manage your life (time, paper, contacts, projects, etc.), I recommend this one. It’s been a miracle for me. You can get the book from any well-stocked book seller or borrow it from the library, and you can learn more about it and other GTD stuff online at www.davidco.com. I also learned a great deal about how to make GTD work for me from the fine folks at www.43folders.com.
