Do Something In 2022
Welcome to 2022. Now what?
The ever-popular New Year’s Resolutions would have you promise a variety of things to yourself, such as losing weight or eating healthier. A trip to your local gym in January will reveal how popular such resolutions are.
What about a less grandiose suggestion, and likely easier to maintain all year long? Do something. Doing something is better than doing nothing. Easy enough to say, but often harder than it sounds.
For example, house cleaning or decluttering. Broadly this implies cleaning up the entire house, which can lead to the daunting task of doing everything to make it model home perfect. A perhaps unrealistic expectation.
Instead do something in one specific area or room completely. Like sorting, filing, or shredding that pile of mail on the counter and washing the dishes. Failure to stay on top of daily tasks or chores makes them harder to complete as each day passes.
You may be different, but I find that letting things pile up makes me want to take care of them less. So, for me doing something is better than doing nothing. That said, understand that you don’t have to do everything yourself. Ask a friend or family member to help. The worst that can happen is they might say no. I have found people are more inclined to say yes when I bribe them with pizza!
The beauty of doing something is that it is simple and specific to your situation. Repeated daily, weekly, or monthly and the results become easy to see.
At the beginning of 2021 I challenged you to define your clutter and START dealing with it. Now that we are at the beginning of 2022, I challenge you to do something.
