organise the mind

my desk was out of control messy and beginning to stress me out so I decided I had to organise it. fun.

before

after

usually, when I attempt to organise anything I am sidetracked by things I had forgotten I had (because I am so disorganised) and then find, which demand my attention there and then. It was nice to find some old drawings from years gone by and be able to look at them a little more objectively and feel a little bit good about my work. you see, I have a tendency to get a little bit 'Cameron Frye'  in my attitude towards my work..my self etc and so it's always good to have a break from that! 

oh, and I found a photo from '94 of my old dog Beau as a little pup thing! 

curse of the lazy

I have a problem with getting things done. 

I think a lot about what I need to do, and am aware of everything on the 'to do list' in my mind but instead of just DOING I spend a lot of the time THINKING. Then I get overwhelmed with everything I have to do, to the point of inaction because it seems that even tackling one thing won't really help because there is just so much still left to do! I get frustrated knowing that the quality of the work I produce is entirely in my hands which are capable, but I don't put the required effort in. It really is a curse - a lazy curse. I guess what I need to do is think of one thing I need to do at a time... I would write a list but I hate lists. Unless it's a list of what to buy at the supermarket. It's hard to be creative and organised. At least for me. Does anyone else struggle with this too? Or are you a reformed lazy person and have some tips on being more productive? 

And sometimes, instead of doing the work I need to be doing, I do pen & ink drawings of cats and bears. I guess something is better than nothing!
