The penny has just dropped with me, big time. I've realised that I don't have to be doing big, major kick ass stuff to be moving forwards.
Along with tackling the sofa situation and taking a look in to my cupboard with the view of finishing it off at some point soon, and thinking about my bathroom renovation, I've been doing some small scale sorting the past couple of days: looking through my small box of nail varnish and chucking out old ones, looking through some magazines, tearing out some recipes and chucking the rest out, those sorts of tiny things. Those really small things have given me a huge sense of satisfaction and not been too time consuming or tiring either.
I know it sounds really stupid, but it's only just dawned on me. My natural inclination is always to throw myself at something full pelt and try and do it all as completely and quickly as possible.
So there are other ways of doing something that also work for me... .
