project: unclutter my life.

Over the last few days, I have been pondering how to best unclutter my life.  This list of unfinished/ongoing projects is starting to keep me awake at night.  Design projects, the keeping of a home, piper and chloe, family history, organizing photos, blogging, etc.  

The problem is not that I don't like doing these things.  All these projects are things I like doing.  Love doing.  That's not the problem.  It's just that there are too many of them.  And as of this moment, I am unsure as to whether the problem is: 1. I am trying to do too much OR (what I personally suspect), 2. that I need to be better organized to accomplish them.  Truthfully, I think there are characteristics that are deeply embedded into my personality that will make me always struggle with this.  (Like being a little too impulsive. having a short attention span, the compulsive unexplainable desire to stay awake way too late. stuff like that.)

So anyway, as I was pondering all this as we were traveling last week, I suddenly remembered the one-hour a day solution my cousin, Annalisa, had to fulfilling her dream of creating oilo, a chidrens company.  (All these pictures are from oilo's super chic collection, which I, along with the entire baby industry, am so very smitten with.)

Basically she had this goal to own a company by the time she was 30.  When she decided that the kind of company she would like to own, was one that designed things for children and babies, she was a little overwhelmed at how to go about it.  Clayton, her relaxed and sensible husband suggested that she do an hour a day.  And pretty much that's how she did it.  It took her a little while, and I know at the end, right before they officially launched, it was much crazier, but for months and months she just enjoyed her hour a day building her company.  

So.  Here's my plan: I dedicate an hour a day to working on this list of unfinished projects I have, and (for realsies this time), not add any new ones until my current list is complete.  I'm starting tomorrow morning from 6:30-7:30.  In two weeks, I will reevaluate and see if I'm feeling better about things.  Wish me luck!!  (Do you know, that's really early for me?)  So wish me double luck.
