What the heck is she talking about! I heard this crazy idea once and it “stuck” so I thought I would pass it along as a way to help you make decisions.
The rules goes something like this…when you get a phone call or email pretend that it is stuck on your forehead until you make a decision as to where it goes or what you need to do with the information. There are so many times that we come across this information and we are too busy to deal with it. Then what happens is that all of these delayed decisions become clutter in our lives. By the time that we come back around to making those decisions or dealing with that pile, it feels overwhelming. If you get in the habit of making those decisions quickly and put them in the right location to be dealt with you will free up a lot more time to work on other projects. Find ways to be efficient with your time and O H I O…Only Handle It Once!
Happy Organizing! Bridges

Lots of times I have to let information SIMMER…… so I guess I need a simmer pot.
