Yesterday afternoon I had what I am terming a moment of an epiphany. I spent a lot of time cleaning off my desk in my home office. I should state here that I keep a very tidy desk at the Real Estate Office, but my desk at home can get a little messy with files, flyers, post it notes, and other notes. I should also note that with my home desk, I have help messing it up, at the office the mess is generally mine and mine only.
I am not saying that I am not responsible for the vast majority of the mess on my home desk, just that I do have help when it comes to adding to the mess. It was a good thing to get down and look to make sure that I was keeping only necessary things and throwing out the useless stuff. I was amazed as I glanced at notes that I had made from posts here. There were some posts that had so inspired me, that I had just printed the post rather than make notes of it.
I am still a long ways away from being a paperless agent. We do the best that we can, and we do try to recycle everything that we can, but there is still paper generated. There were flyers that I had printed off to put on doors as we farmed neighborhoods, newsletters, some that were extra, and some that had come back by returned mail. I didn't make any great discoveries that would shake up the world as we know it, but it was a good thing to just clean out all the junk, and start anew.
I know that I wasn't really happy about doing it at the time, but now that it's over, I am glad that it's done. I wonder now if we shouldn't do something like this every so often with our lives; clean out all of the junk and be left with a new cleaned up area ready to live. Just a thought during one of the many chores that I really don't like to do. Make it a great Week!
