"Ah, that's better!"
You might well ask why I exclaim and wonder if I've just had a glass of cool refreshing beer, a good 5 mile run or a nice hot bath? No, I've just cleared up and tidied the storage area at our clinic and it looks grand! Out have gone the 'useful' stuff one keeps that may have been good 5 years ago, but are now so obsolete that they're useless. Out has gone the brick-a-brack and behind it I found the computer manual that our office manager could have used on numerous occasions, but has lain undiscovered since the item was purchased. Now we can also get to the sink properly and we have room to move.
This little job has been niggling me and a few of my colleagues for a couple of weeks, ever since we had some new equipment installed in this small room. So the equipment got its home, but everything else was pushed and piled to one side. You may ask why I was the one to do this job and none other. Well, why not? I tell you this; no one else got the satisfaction of completing the job. It's ten thousand times better, without any exaggeration at all. Well, maybe just a fraction, but hey, who's counting?
When things niggle or annoy you, you've just got to get them sorted out. If they are not niggling you, then they're not a problem, but if they are, then your energy is being depleted. There is nothing like a list of 'Incompletions' to sap your energy, lower your self esteem, distract you from the main issues and generally frustrate and irritate the life out of you. Incompletions are those things that need some attention, but are waiting for you to find the time, money or inclination to get on with them. They literally are a list of items awaiting to be completed, and they suck.
Don't you find that when you've dealt with one, it feels so good? If you deal with a whole list, you're positively chuffed, proud, uplifted, glowing, enthused, happy, enlivened, rewarded and on top of the world. "Right, I've done that....now what's next?!"
Getting something out of the way that's been an irritation by it's constant presence either visually or mentally in the back of your mind is as refreshing as a good, long, cool glass of beer.
