Hi Sarit

Sounds like the all or nothing thinking of a sugar sensitive person. I always used to think of it as perfectionism, thinking that if I can't do something exactly as I want to,(or do all of it) then I won't do any of it.

I don't know if you remember Kari's post regarding a deck of playing cards, could you turn over a card perhaps, and sort out the number of papers written on the card. I know how difficult it is to get started, but you sound like you are ready to start, because you are asking for advice on it. It can be very frustrating, always has been for me.

Hope that helps

Love

: My life would flow with greater ease
: if I could wrap my mind around the
: little decisions that need to be
: made every day.

: For example, I have a hard time
: making quick and on-the-go
: decisions about where to put what.
: A good example is my cluttered
: work desk at home. Rather than
: throw out a few papers, file some
: others and leave the rest as they
: are (i.e, doing some
: decluttering), I
: simply do nothing.
: The hardest part of decluttering for
: me, is finding the right home for
: each piece of paper.

: The pile grows, and though I know I
: can take care of some of it
: right now and
: get partial relief from the mess,
: I feel so overwhelmed that I take
: no action at all.

: I would feel a little more radiant if
: I could let go of my dream of the
: perfectly tidy desk - which never
: materializes - and start taking
: small steps a few times a week to
: throw out/put away those papers
: that do have a home (on my
: shelves, in my drawers, etc.)

: Generally speaking, I am very good
: about maintenance......my home is
: quite tidy.
: But the pile on my work desk is a
: different story......I feel I need
: to be able to decide about ALL of
: it before I can start taking
: action.

: Any comments?
