Fixing Overwhelm - Step One

Yesterday I told you about OVERWHELM...
Today I try to fix it.

First thing I'd tell someone else to do is:
Let's find ONE THING to clean up.

Choosing WHICH THING to clean up and organize is a challenge as well.
HOWEVER...
I've chosen: MY TO DO LIST.
The damn thing has gotten so big that I can't even look at it.
The sight of it makes me ill....
The current list has over THREE HUNDRED ITEMS.
THREE FREAKIN' HUNDRED.

How did it get this big????
MICROSOFT OUTLOOK - that's how....
Most of these are emails that require me to do something.
I click the little flag on it - it's now a task - I put a category on it (So that I believe at least I have a categorized mess)
and that's how it has grown and grown.

OK...

Here's what I'm willing to do.
I have a couple of hours free this morning.
I'm going to tackle the son of a bitch....
Let's see if I can get this TO DO LIST down to something
that's manageable and real.

I'll report back tomorrow....
Wish me luck...
