Begin where you're most uncomfortable ... or eat the frog!

I'm often asked, "where do I start? I'm surrounded by piles and mounds of stuff. Everywhere I look. It's all so overwhelming!"And what I always tell people is, begin where you're most uncomfortable.What room, space, or pile is making you the most upset? What random clump of stuff contains things you'd most like to have available to you or would most like to finally have out of your life?That's the place to begin.Brain Tracy says that if you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, it's likely to be the least pleasant thing that happens to you all day.I'd agree.So just like eating that frog, turn your attention to the task you'd most like to avoid and you'll discover that as you work through that task, whatever it is, you'll gain confidence, momentum and enthusiasm.You might not expect that to be true, but it is. Try it and see.You can always procrastinate tomorrow.
