I truly love all of my GON readers and all the letters I get. Here's one that may help if you're feeling unmotivated to get something done.

I feel that, very often, people are not motivated enough to get the job done because they really don't want to do it. A number of years ago, a famous shoe company came out with a slogan that applies to almost everything...that Nike advertisement stated, 'Just do it.' The hardest part of it is getting off of our lazy butts and getting started.

Come up with a mantra to remember, such as 'less is more' or 'file, don't pile.' Think about it. If you have less clutter or stuff, you have more space. Freedom to enjoy the space and keep it clean. Don't sell yourself short. Even if you weed out one magazine a day, you will have one less magazine taking up space.

I know that I am talking bluntly here, but I have discovered that for me, I have to kick myself in the butt and 'Just do it.' After all, if I don't do it, who will?

And do I want to hurt my self-esteem with failing to do something? Or do I want to help myself by accomplishing something?

Thoughtfully and lovingly written and submitted by,

Bill Davies

NOTE FROM MARIA GRACIA: It's worth re-reading Bill's final sentence above that begins with, 'And do I want...' It's very powerful!

Dear Maria,

Simply love your daily newsletter! Sometimes I get a little kick up the backside and do something. Most of the time it's just entertaining to read as I am fairly organized as it is. Just thought I would share this with you:

In the laundry room, we have a basket with lonely socks (waiting for their mate. (Where DO they go?) Last week, my son broke his leg and will now only be using ONE sock for a few weeks.

He can use 'the left ones' for a while and the empty basket can be utilized for something else meanwhile.

Best regards,

Mrs G in Cy

NOTE FROM MARIA GRACIA:

Oh no, Mrs. G. I hope your son heals quickly! It's an excellent idea to keep a basket in the laundry room for stray socks. That solution is serving your son well while he recovers.

Something that may also help GON readers to prevent socks from straying from their mates are: Loc a Sock Sock Locs.
