And by the end, it may not save any time. Filing every bit of paper in a precise category, with colour-coded index tabs and a neat system of cross-referencing, will certainly take longer. A rough storage system (important papers close to the keyboard, the rest distributed in loosely related piles on every flat surface) takes very little time to manage. That is because the tidiness lobby counts the benefits of neatness, but not its costs. Untidiness, hoarding, procrastination and improvisation are not bad habits, the authors argue, but often more sensible than meticulous planning, storage and purging of possessions. But if you have a tendency to be messy and have already broken your new year resolutions to be neater in future, it will certainly make you feel better about your natural inclinations. What would you like to change in your life? What would lead to more happiness? There is always one thing we can always change for the better.THIS book may not change your life. One focused change is realistic and measurable. You don’t have to wait for January 1st to set New Year Resolutions. Could we give everything up and see what we can do instead? One day may not sound like a lot, but when something has become ingrained in our habits, it can require a concentrated will to break out and doing something else. We can waste many hours per week passively checking superficial information. Giving up bad habits just for a dayA good example of getting stuck in bad habits in the modern world is the addiction people can develop for their phone and checking social media / internet.
#The art of tidiness how to
When we come across adversity, we learn how to cope and do something new. A good test is to see whether we can break out of our comfortable routine to do something really different? Could we get up very early in the morning to meditate on the rising sun? Could we participate in a project for offering something to other people? Could we train to run a marathon? The willingness to put ourselves out of our comfort zone is the best way to help cultivate progressive change. However, if we have patience and determination, we can overcome these short-term obstacles and make improvements.
There will be times, when we progress slower than we would like or we may even feel we are going backwards. The worthwhile spiritual progress requires patience and determination. There is no quick fix or secret for overnight change. Without this willingness to change and be flexible, we will get stuck in our own rut. If we wish to change our habits, our thinking and how we see ourselves, then this is an important first step. If we are not careful, we can just accept the way things are, falling into the same patterns of negative thoughts. Even the wish and aspiration to change is very important. Don’t surrender to fate and circumstance, but always persevere. However, if we always feel that we have the capacity to mould our life and inner attitude, then we have a good fighting chance. If we have the attitude “I can’t help it” or “I’m doomed to disappointment” that will tend to be our experience. The most important thing is to have faith that things can change for the better. We don’t change our mind because we just want to fit into societies expectations, we change because we listen to our own quiet inner conscience.ĭon’t give up. Clinging onto the wrong attitude will only hurt ourselves. Changing your mind in the face of evidence is not a sign of weakness, but strength. Changing your mind can be hard, if we hold onto misplaced placed feelings of pride or reluctance to appear wrong. Not surrender to our weaknesses but to constantly examine our life, and see if we can make it better. One of the great challenges is to strive to change our nature. However, are we open to change or do we get stuck in bad habits? It is said the one constant of life is that life is always changing.
