Get Orgainzed

To "get organized," I am cleaning my room. My clothes need to be hung up in my closet, books need to be put away, and some stuff needs to be thrown out. I am doing this by myself.

I haven't started cleaning yet, and I keep finding excuses not to do it. I get distracted by Facebook, music, or my phone. It's just a daunting task that I'd rather not be doing, so I find myself doing other things. I know that once I finally clean it, though, I'll feel much better.

I'm about halfway through cleaning my room and I cannot focus for the life of me. I keep finding different reasons to stop; I think of a random question for my mom, my cat walks in the room and I have to pet her, I want to skip the song that comes on, etc. I am just so bored.

I finally finished cleaning my room and I feel extremely accomplished. Even though it took much longer than it should've, I still got it clean and it looks amazing. I feel much less overwhelmed now.

Before I cleaned my room, my mind was very scattered. When I would look for something, I had to look at the floor because I would just leave random things there. Now I know where to look and my mind feels much more at ease.

After this project and analyzing my thought process, I found that I avoid doing something that I don't want to do as much as I can. I kept making excuses to put it off, even during the cleaning process. I realized that I do this with homework as well. If there's something I don't want to do, I put it off until the last minute, and that is a very bad habit to have. I'm now trying to change my mindset and realize that the sooner I do something that I don't want to do, the sooner it's over with and I can move on to more enjoyable things.
