Getting Unstuck on Projects

Many of you have read about or visited my  cute little country office.  (See photos on my website http://www.clutterfree.biz/about.htm). Last week, though, I was really stuck on a project – organizing the information for my new website, Exceptional Productivity Now!  I took the file box with all the information I had gathered and moved it from my office to the dining room table in my house.  It isn’t finished, and papers are covering the table, but at least I’m working on it.  Try changing locations from where you usually work to see if it will help you, too.

Here’s an update:  I’m making progress by working at the dining room table, but decided I really would like to eat dinner on the table also!  The project is now divided up into do-able sections that I have returned to the file box.  Dividing projects into do-able, manageable parts is a great way to move forward.  I’m working on it each day, and can now see that my new website will be completed…soon, I hope!

Organizing Tip 1:  Recognize when you are stuck on a project and need to do something differently.
 

Organizing Tip 2:  Change locations – moving the project/box or whatever you need to do to another location makes it seem do-able.
 

Organizing Tip 3:  Divide and conquer to really make a project feel more do-able.
 

Let me know what works for you,
