Plan Desperate

Life is a fickle non-cycle. Yes, non-cycle. Despite the patterns of getting up, going to work and eventually going to bed, life is anything but routine. We create plans, but just when things are going down the predicted path, life has to throw in some curves to keep things "exciting". Being in control is often a feeling that gets lost amongst these curves. When plan A fails, it is often followed by plan B, plan C and finally plan Desperate. We have all been to plan Desperate way to often. The trick is to find the small moments of clarity amid the chaos. 

The beautiful thing about clarity is that it is different for everyone. For me, organization is my clarity. Planning hardly ever works out. I try to make sure the rest of my life is organized enough that when the plan changes, I can still pick everything up and keep moving on. Don't get me wrong, I still lose my keys every morning, I couldn't tell you where my work schedule went after moving to a new apartment this past weekend and I hardly ever know where any of my hair ties are. Organization is not a fool proof plan. However, with a little work and a little practice, even the most inexperienced organizer can become a pro.

We can easily relate life to a new business. We have to help the business grow in order for it to be successful. Organization is one tool that can help us feel as though we are not actually floundering in the waves of change that constantly surround us. With some helpful tips and a little bit of organization, it is easy to begin your self entrepreneurship. 

Take control. Be the CEO.
