Always tell your story straight because otherwise you WILL get caught in a lie.

I do not tolerate LIARS!

Liars are always out to prove, get away with or manipulate something. Liars are not humble because liars never can see they are wrong or misperceiving anything. They explicitly demonstrate by lying that they think they are the center of the Universe.

Some of the worst liars, in my book, are the ones looking for sympathy. Victimhood is their middle name when they don’t get their way. They are never responsible for their own actions.

Run. Run. Run. Run away from the blood sucking zombies – truly the walking dead – looking to take your energy and body. They don’t care about you. They say they do, but they are LYING! It always comes back to square one and how it affects them.

Liars are thirsty and can never drink enough Kool-Aid. Liars are empty and can never be filled up. Liars are eager to swallow you whole if you are not on their side. Most liars are bullies too.

Most liars are narcissistic or have personality disorders of some sort. They do not care about your heart or good intentions. Liars live on a whole other planet and don’t abide by the same rules so don’t give them any quarter, EVER!

Liars – to state the obvious – have no conscience or remorse. They are in such disbelief that anyone even questions their facts or reality that they will destroy your reputation and good name.

Liars don’t have a meaning or purpose in life except to be delusional and fight tooth and nail to be winners of a world with limited resources and lack. They are like Daffy Duck when he scurries around announcing ‘It’s mine, mine, mine.”

Liars are selfish, greedy and disingenuous, of course, so you don’t know what you are dealing with from one day to the next. Liars will gaslight you till you start to believe the lies. They spread rumors as something they overheard from others or read about some where else so as not to be blamed personally for it later. And they don’t divulge their sources because they make them up or misconstrue a fact out of context. They are tricksters.

Liars are sad. They want to shine brighter, steal your thunder and take for themselves. You will get the morsels left if anything. They pathetically love compliments and will never give you any credit unless you shower them profusely with adoration.

Liars cannot and will not cultivate, explain or expand on any thoughts because all of them have been stolen.

Run away from Liars, they are dangerous when made powerful by your acknowledgement. Twisted and single-minded, Liars will destroy whatever is in their path for power, money or applause.

Sound like anyone you know?

Having a schedule to make yourself more efficient sounds “fabulous, darling.”

Unfortunately, it takes discipline to implement this so-called structure.

For Christ sake’s I am an aspiring wordsmith who frequently forgets her words. Plus, I misuse cliches all the time. I get my metaphors mixed up with my similes. I struggle with stuff I am passionate about. How am I supposed to get all amped up for methodically checking off my to do list?

Perhaps I run deeper. I need a reason. What if my goal is to bring me to the REAL goal?

What if each tiny act is taking me closer to my underlying purpose?

So I asked myself, “What is the point of decluttering?”

This answer will take me more time to mull over but initially I am leaning towards the “I want my home to be a sanctuary ” response. Of course, I will feel freer to do the things I really want to do with my time. Needless to say, I would find it attractive. Also, if I could keep up with a system, habit or pattern that keeps my surroundings looking presentable, I suppose I could believe in myself and truly be able to conquer my doubts and have my dreams come true.

Staying in the messy bog is so familiar though.

Just like the old belief that all artists are alcoholics, maybe creatives don’t need to be so unkempt to be taken seriously either.

Hmm. I will have to meditate on that, if only I could find a place to sit.

Do you spend way too much time thinking and reading about time management and not enough energy into actually managing your time?

Have you bought many books and paraphernalia to get you organized but enjoy the idea of decluttering into three different labeled (hopefully pretty) boxes rather than in fact sorting through it all?

Do you have three million projects started and none finished?

Are you moving the same pile around from room to room?

Have you been organizing stuff that maybe you need to just trash?

I love that Tidy book, still on the best seller’s list, that asks you to touch and review each item one by one and ask if it sparks joy for you or not. Doesn’t that depend on the day? Well, sometimes. Great ideas but I need more help than that.

I am reading a book currently that I could have written, the author is just like me. It is titled Make Room for what you Love, by Melissa Michaels. She finally figured out that her problem was decision making. She would put off figuring out what to do with something and then it was too overwhelming to tackle the mess that would undoubtedly accumulate. I get this lady. I love that she sounds even worse than me back in her procrastination heyday. Her list of excuses for not making a decision seem strangely familiar. It is the perfectionists and “I don’t want to get anything wrong” person’s bane. It is the “What If?” people.

My decision making skills are getting a makeover. Hopefully this will help me with my sentimental and odd attachments to things.
