Spring Cleaning

For some people, going shopping or getting a pedicure is like therapy. For me it's cleaning. If you ever feel unmotivated to do work, stressed out, or overwhelmed, I highly recommend some cleaning time. Instant gratification with productive results. And oh so good for people like me who like to be in control of things. Euphoric.

Today it was gloomy outside and I really didn't feel like working on my brief. So I finally unpacked my spring break suitcase, organized my increasingly cluttered closet, cleaned my bathroom, did the dishes, sorted through and recycled papers I didn't need anymore, straightened up my desk, etc.

I love it when everything is in its place. I was so happy and satisfied afterwards, I had a lot of engergy. If I didn't have my friends birthday dinner, I might have even plowed through a bunch of work with my spurt of energy. I'm just hoping that it carries through tomorrow. Because I have nothing else to clean.
