Taking Shortcuts Might be the Longest Trip You Make

If you are part of the "I want it now club" then you are not alone.  We are moving into the 3rd or 4th generation of people who want instant graification.  People want to get MA degrees in less than 3 years,    lose 100 lbs in 2 months and become a millionaire overnight.  These aspects of instantly obtaining success may be far fetched but are most certainly what's moving people.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to get things done quickly, however you have to consider shortcuts are just what it states, a short-cut.   If it takes on average 6-8 years to get a Masters Degree you have to wonder what's missing for you to do it in 3 years.  "If something sounds too good to be true then it probably is." 

Taking the short cut  will ultimately leave you in a position where you are missing something or worse a failed mission. 

This doesn't mean to take the long route all the time.  It is simply cautioning being persuaded by being in a hurry.  It wouldn't hurt to even use extreme cautioning.  If you are feeling a sense of being rushed, chances are you have not looked at things through from all angles and you may be thinking irrationally. 

Be cautious about being moved by how fast you can get it done, rather how is it going to add Substance to your life. This will ultimately benefit you the most.  Don't let quickness be the deal breaker.



"A wholesome tongue is a tree of life; but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit."
Proverbs 15:4

Intro

What better person than mwah to talk about time management and organizing.  I have not taken courses, seminars, templates and lectures to share my concepts of organizing; yet I have been the subject of hard life lessons and experience.  I have chosen to take a difficult path to making my days run more efficiently.   We as mothers, caregivers, career-oriented people, students, business owners, family members and the like will always be faced with life's trials and tribulations.  With my testimonials hopefully I can help others put and keep things in order.

Do you struggle with juggling family and work?
Do you find it hard to find time for exercising and hobbies?
Are you overwhelmed with seeing after your family and children?
Do you wait until the last minute to do something?

These are few of many aspects I'll addressing throughout my series of blogs, ebooks and projects.  I would love for my reading audience to get the most of my work.  From time to time I will be featuring other avid writers on various subjects.

Question: What made me do this?
Answer  : I love physical organizing.  I can take a cluttered space and utilize it in a way others cannot normally see.  I used to be an artist, so it may be my "artistic eyes" that see things in a way others do not.  Similar to my drawings I can see details such as depth, shading, lighting and perception that others may not be able to.  I have been able transform physical decluttering into areas such mental decluttering, time management and daily living organizing.
