What have you been putting off doing? Why?
Thereβs always that one thing we keep pushing down the to-do list, convincing ourselves that tomorrow will be the perfect day to handle it. For me, it was organizing my workspace β a small, stubborn corner of chaos that silently mocked me every morning.
At first, I blamed time. βIβll do it on the weekend,β I told myself, sipping coffee while carefully ignoring the growing mountain of papers and tangled cables. Weekends came and went. The pile grew. So did my excuses. I told myself that creativity thrives in a bit of clutter, that I knew exactly where everything was, even if it looked like a disaster zone. Deep down, though, I knew it wasnβt about time β it was about avoidance.
Thereβs something strangely intimidating about starting small tasks that reveal bigger truths. Cleaning my workspace wasnβt just about tidying up; it meant confronting the notes of unfinished projects, abandoned ideas, and reminders of things I hadnβt yet achieved. That desk was my mirror, reflecting not just physical mess but mental clutter too.
One day, I decided enough was enough. I put on my favorite playlist, rolled up my sleeves, and began. It started slow β one drawer, one folder β but with each cleared inch, I felt lighter. When I finally stepped back and saw my clean, peaceful desk, I realized it wasnβt just about the space; it was about reclaiming my focus.
Sometimes, the things we keep putting off arenβt really about the task itself. Theyβre about what weβre afraid to face once we begin.
