How big of a mess is too big? How high, a pile of stuff, is too high?
I swear I must be the sloppiest person alive! And it's hurting my blog.
"Organizing is such an under rated hobby."
I am still commitment to one day building a successful blog. It's been a long journey. Bruised and very beaten my commitment is still there. Besides, I have to listen to what I keep repeating to myself,
"Time does not matter because success will always taste sweet".
How did I get to be so determined? I have no concrete idea. Other than being hard headed.
You know that spot deep in the center of your chest. Where you keep your flaws and secrets? Things no one else knows. I am diving in there. And it's deep in there.
You know that image that you see when you think of yourself? I am challenging mine. I want to break some of my long held false beliefs.
So my blog and writing can move forward.
I have no idea how to locate specific files and documents. It's saved somewhere.
I've tried Mind Mapping. It's pretty dam cool how easy it use. Drag and drop items/boxes anywhere on a page. And connect it with other boxes. Show it's relationship.
You got to check out Mind Maps if you haven't.
Before that was Microsoft Words Documents. I don't know how to really use it effectively but I really like it. The "Document Map" feature is really awesome. As you build your article it layouts it out formatted with title, subtitles, and paragraphs on a side bar. How cool is that!
Now I am using One Note. This is pretty darn good too. Just like the other two. In fact I am writing on it right now.
Every document is searchable, by keywords and tags. Including images.
And it lists the documents found for you and color the keywords in the documents. Nice, isn't that? Especially if you search lots of documents.
So what is my conclusion? Well, I know I am a habitual slob facing a big challenge.
I'll keep circling around my problem, slowly, hoping and looking for a solution.
Maybe it's not a mountain after all. Maybe, it really is a mole hill.
