“What do I do with my life now?” The house is clean. Our plan is working. What can I do after Messy Room Syndrome?
I took three days to just think about my future. I have wasted so much of my life already fighting this battle, I don’t want to waste another minute.
FOCUS
The key that brought me into this new situation was learning to focus on just one thing. I know I need to carry that habit forward. Flylady says, “Focus makes me fabulous.” Dave Ramsey calls it “gazelle intensity.” I just know it gets the job done.
Maybe instead of trying to do everything in balance all the time, I should focus my intensity on on project. If you look at a day or a week in my life, it may look out of balance, but over the course of a year or 5 years or a lifetime a pattern of balance will emerge from the periods of focused intensity. What’s more, the periods of focus will result in goals met and dreams accomplished.
What’s the next big thing?
The next thing that has been irritating me for a while is the extra 35 pounds of fat I am carrying around. This is Fitness Feburary in my house. I’m setting up my own at home Biggest Loser Ranch and working to lose this extra weight and built some muscle. Hopefully it won’t take me quite as long to declutter my body as it took to declutter my house.

I have found that focus has always helped me actually get things done…trying to balance always seemed to lead to a long term stress that “things still aren’t done”.
Go Sunny Go!
Thanks Anna. When I am trying to focus on everything at once, it’s almost like a watered down effort. Between scattering my energy, there seems to be a lot of wasted time with transitioning from one project to the next.
