I know the last thing you probably associate with happy hour is any sort of cleaning or organizing, but would if you could…have happy hour and clean and/or organize? If you immediately envisioned yourself tying one on and trying to do anything productive, let me assure you, that is not what I have in mind. I mean, I guess you could have an adult beverage but that is not the sort of happy hour I’m thinking of. So what am I thinking? Well, as I mentioned before, I have easily attended at least 100 classes, webinars, workshops and 7 day challenges related to organizing the clutter in my life. Seriously, I’m not exaggerating. This has been something I’ve been trying to work on for years, but haven’t had any success. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that the instructors weren’t any good or the content was bad. I just think there may have been one thing they overlooked when creating their content; someone like me! Some instructors had me so pumped by the end of their class. I was excited and motivated and a few times I even bought shiny new things to organize all my stuff, but it was short-lived and within a couple days I got bored, gave up and continued to cover every surface within my reach with piles. So I’ve been thinking – what would it take to keep me engaged in my quest to rid my life of piles? Then it hit me! The one thing I was missing was an accountability partner. Someone to call me on my bullshit and keep me on track. I reached out to a couple fellow master pile makers to see if they would be interested and they agreed – yay! I thought, at last, I found the solution and my life would be forever changed. Unfortunately, it didn’t occur to me that someone who is in the same place I’m in, may not make the best accountability partner. With both of my friends, they maybe checked in with me once, but that was it. I needed tougher love than that! Then one night I was getting ready to meet some friends for an actual adult beverage style happy hour and it hit me – what if I could somehow incorporate happy hour, accountability and conquering my piles into one event. And that is what I’ve been working on. I have the concept pretty ironed out but now I’m trying to figure out if anyone would even be interested in such a thing. I’m working on some ideas of how I can find my people and hope to have this all figured out in the next month or so. Can you imagine a life without piles everywhere?!? I will keep you posted. In the meantime, I hope you have at least one or two happy hours this week : )
