I recently did something radical: I hung the phone on my desk up on the wall. I don’t know why I’ve never thought of it, because my desk faces a wall that has a whiteboard on it. I jot down ideas and thoughts on it and it helps keep me organized. Immediately in front of my keyboard was a two-line phone. Not just any phone, mind you… but a big ‘ol honking phone that was almost as big as my keyboard. I’m not sure, but I think you can call yourself on the damn thing. It’s really advanced. ANYWAY, the other day, I was sitting at my desk, daydreaming in a way that only an ADD person can, and I got inspired. I thought “WOW… I could hang the phone on the wall, and have ALL this extra desk space!” I was inspired, and I began my quest. I went to the garage and (eventually) found two screws that I thought would work, and the electric screwdriver. It took some work, because the wall that I hung the phone on is apparently bulletproof (first sign of attack, I’m in my office, thankyouverymuch). The phone finally got put up, and it’s WONDERFUL where it is. I find I enjoy my desk more, because it seems less cluttered. The phone is more accessible, too. I don’t know why I didn’t do it before. That stupid phone got me thinking that if I could improve SO much with such a little thing, than maybe I could make, for instance, ONE small change in my own habits and make a huge difference elsewhere. I have many faults and weaknesses, but I sometimes think that such problems are insurmountable and impossible. Because of this, I usually don’t make any change at all, and end up stuck and mired in my bad habits. This is where you, the readers, come in. During my extended introspection, I decided I was going to begin writing and posting my writing here. That small amount of should help me in other areas, as well. Improvement is never easy, but as somebody much wiser than me said, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” I guess this is my step. Please walk with me. My next post will be Wednesday at the latest. I hope you are enjoying reading this as much I like to write it! Let me know what you think (good or bad) by sending me email. Thanks.
