Arrange the shelf space of your life
Stop it! You need to free up space before you add new things.
Today I was listening to Scott Adams’ podcast, Real Coffee with Scott Adams.
In passing he used an analogy of shelf space in getting things done. It clicked.
I live this concept at my local grocery store. The management regularly drops products I was buying. To add new things they drop old things. It has to be that way.
Shelf Space clicked for me. I hate to give up things I am good at and give me a feeling of accomplishment. But to add new things on my shelf something has to go.
When I feel overwhelmed it is time go through my list of goals and the associated to-do list and identify the things that needed to drop. It has to be that way.
