Do you ever get a sudden burst of motivation to work on improving your life...

Color me jealous. @Heartlander

@Kathburglar One trick that I play on myself is to create a "no-return" situation that helps prevent me from later saying "Ohhh, never mind."

Like with my need to file or otherwise deal-with 3 months of piled up "stuff". By sorting it into tiny piles on the floor it consumes the entire room. So now "IT" now owns the room, and I HAVE TO deal with it if I want the room back.

@Heartlander I need to lie down now just from reading that, smarty pants. Way to shame me. 🤣🤣🤣

@Kathburglar It also forces me into self-analysis. Like WHY do I shift to something new without 1st closing out what I was previously dealing with? Wouldn't I better deal with what's new if I didn't also carry the nagging reminder that there are maybe a few loose threads sticking out from the previous, and the previous before that, and the previous before ....

Also, why do I have 3 month old gas and electric printed bills still hanging around, or why do I even get them since I handle 90% of that kind of stuff electronically? The gas company knows how much gas we use here. If I, myself, really want to know I can just ask them. But I probably don't really care about how much gas we burn since the 3 moths of gas bills are still in their envelopes, unopened. I didn't need to open them because the bills went right to the bank. How many trees suffer needlessly because of all the wasted paperwork?

Self analysis is good :)

@Heartlander 👍🏼 Yes, self analysis is soooo important. No one could call you shallow. I award you an A+! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@Kathburglar

Thanks!!

but .... can I reserve that A+ until [b][u]after[/u][/b] I dispose of the 99 piles of STUFF?

You just isolated the problem: smacking my lips and giving myself a thumbs-up while the edges are still dangling.
