Organizing Thought of the Day

Be a Nosy Neighbor
|
When I was younger, I remember hearing the phrase, 'don't be a nosy neighbor.'
If you remember the TV show, 'Bewitched,' you may recall the actress cast as
Gladys Kravitz...the neighbor who knew everything that was going on with all the
folks in her neighborhood. The message was that being a 'nosy neighbor' is not
such a great thing.
But sometimes, it actually is.
Sometimes the people around us do the smartest things that we notice and can't
help but want to try for ourselves. When we notice a neighbor finding a better
or smarter way of doing something, it is natural to want to jump on board and
follow suit.
A friend of mine had been wanting to add some lighting to the deck in her
backyard, but thought it was going to be a big undertaking. Then she noticed
that one of her neighbors was using solar lights. He hung them up on his deck by
using velcro strips and then attached them to the side posts on the deck. Not
only was he getting lighting that wasn't adding to his electric bill, he was at
the same time avoiding having to drill anywhere on his deck. It made complete
sense to her. The next day, she and her husband bought a different style of
solar lights and followed a set-up similar to her smart neighbor.
There are different, creative ways of doing nearly everything, but we can't
think them ALL up on our own. Plus, the way we have in our head may not always
be the best or most efficient way of doing whatever it is.
Sometimes all you need to do is take a look out your window to get ideas on how
to better do things.
By the way, 'nosy neighbors' can also be very helpful when it comes to programs
like 'Neighborhood Crime Watch.' For instance, if you're on vacation and a
strange car is parked in your driveway or someone is walking around your home
looking at your windows, he or she could call you on your cell and ask if you're
aware of that person...or call the police department so it could be confirmed
whether that person is a legitimate visitor or not.
While it's still not a good idea to be nosy when it's solely for your own
'entertainment,' being a 'nosy neighbor' now and then, can actually be a very
good thing. By the way, when you do get a good idea or help from your neighbors,
be sure you let them know how much you appreciate them!

Neuromovement Healing Fest
A complimentary 6-day event

Tell me if this at all sounds familiar...
Karen is in her 50s and works a desk job. Her weight's okay, she's reasonably
active, but she is 'feeling her age.' Her neck and shoulders are often tight,
her joints ache, and overall stiffness sometimes causes her to wince just
getting out of her chair. The days that are really frustrating are when she
cannot even reach her shoes to tie her laces.
You see, no matter what Karen tries, she's stiff and can't stretch. A muscle or
age problem? Not necessarily. Very often, it's because the brain has forgotten
how to 'feel' parts of the body...back, hips, shoulders, etc. The brain just
becomes no longer aware of those parts. It cannot successfully direct the
muscles to move in certain ways.
Science now shows that by re-activating the brain, we can continue to positively
evolve and transform physically, mentally, and emotionally to experience an
increase in overall performance, flexibility, energy, and enthusiasm.
That's where the Neuromovement Healing Fest comes in. Discover the simple
movements that will immediately improve your brain functioning so you can move
freely once again without pain...just like in your younger days. You will see
super-fast results. Best yet, this event is free of charge. Visit:
https://www.getorganizednow.com/rd-nmovement.html
P.S. This free event begins on May 17th. Don't miss out. Get your free pass today!
