"Preparation, Disorganisation, & the 100 THINGS CHALLENGE" | Your Quote of the Day

This quote of the day is pretty personal to me because I have to be transparent about it. 

I haven't been good at preparing for my goals lately. 

The big question is 

Why? 

Well, If you don't know me quite as personally as my parents know me, 

then this might be a shock to you. 

The thing is- I am one of the most disorganised people I know. 

Naturally, I'm disorganised. I'm impulsive. I'm indecisive. I'm all over the place. 

I'm discombobulated. I'm always in "react" mode. Sometimes, even in panic mode. 

Why I feel organisation is key to preparing for achieving goals 

So, this year, I've been really trying to intentionally work on being more organized.  

I know that if I'm more organised, I can see my goal more clearly, 

and from there be able to prepare accordingly. 

I was listening to the Michael Hyatt podcast, Season 3: Episode 5 called 

"The Top-10 Characteristics of Lousy Leaders."

Michael pointed out that disorganisation is one of those characteristics. 

Yes. I was pretty embarrassed as I sat in my bedroom trying to figure out what to do with my things, where to put them, and panicking about where I am going to find the time to take care of this all and get it to where I want it to be- minimalistic...immaculate, even. 

Ok. So now that I know why being more organised would help me, I need to take the first step to being organised. And what is that first step? 

DECLUTTERING. 

Yeah, I'm being really honest. I need to declutter. I need to throw away the things I don't need.

From my bedroom, to my car- it's pretty bad. 

It's clear that if I decluttered, I can be rid of the frustration of clutter. 

Therefore, I will have the energy then to organise all the areas of my life. 

Once I am able to get that right- I know that the path to my goals will be more clear 

because I don't have all this frustration and clutter built up in my mind or in my bedroom/house/car/etc. 

Alright, so how am I, Sirena, going to achieve decluttering and organization?

First, I decided I am going to take the challenge from a fellow Chamorro, Leo Babauta, from http://zenhabits.net/minimalist-fun-the-100-things-challenge/. 

This will be a 30 day challenge. 

Below are Leo's reasons why we should take this challenge that I copy and pasted from the article: 

Why go through the challenge?

A few reasons:

To help you declutter your home.

To make you realize what’s necessary, and what you love, and what you don’t need.

To free yourself of the burden of possessions.

For fun.

To force you to stick to the limit, even if you get new things.
