Clean Up Your Crap
I’m spending the morning in piles of paper. I really love organization. I really hate paperwork. I would rather write songs and bake bread but this is all part of it. To make it easier I’m listening to great music (Lucinda Williams live at the Fillmore) and throwing as much paper as possible into the recycling so that I don’t have to deal with it again in the future. Less crap = More fun.
A couple things I won’t throw away. I’ve got a pile of scraps of paper where I’ve written down quotes from books or heard spoken. So here are a few that keep me going, get me out of bed, inspire me, console me, what have you.
“Acedia is a danger to anyone whose work requires great concentration and discipline yet is considered by many to be of little practical value.” Kathleen Norris, Acedia & Me
“The fastest way to do things you don’t think you can be done is to surround yourself with people already doing them.” Scott Dinsmore
Love, peace, and revolution,
