Do You Procrastinate?


Hey Reader


I have been procrastinating. Every time I see the bookcase in my office, I roll my eyes.

On a Saturday afternoon, I decide to finally clean up the stacks of notebooks, journals, and piles of paper on my bookcase. The ones I put there “just for now until I can get to them”.

I sit on the floor and start to flip through a half-used journal. As I read my own handwriting, I remember ...

  • when I wrote it down,
  • the prayers that I whispered at that point in the journey,
  • the insights that were revealed and scribbled,
  • the books that I read and quoted,
  • the Bible verses I swore I was going to refer to,
  • the action steps I was determined I was going to take.

I poured my heart out in most of that journal, but there are quite a few blank pages at the end.

I feel myself tearing up, I am not sure why-

But, back to work, I'm here to clean the bookcase!

I don't want to waste the wisdom, ideas, and inspiration I have been given because I'm a perfectionist, distracted or disorganized.


How do you keep track of the paper clutter, ideas and inspiration that you want to keep AND to how do you find it when you need it?

Hit reply and let me know if you have a system or need one!

Hey Reader 🤷♀️ I first learned this in Girl Scout Camp… The phrase "throw spaghetti at the wall and see if it sticks" comes from the idea of testing pasta for doneness—specifically, cooking spaghetti until it's just right. There’s an old (and slightly messy!) kitchen trick that suggests if you throw a strand of spaghetti against the wall, and it sticks, then it’s cooked and ready. But if it falls off, it’s still too firm. ✅ Now, everyone uses this phrase and I wonder if they understand where...
