"Change is impossible and you can do the impossible hard as it may be."

- Jeffrey Hansler (1957 - ) 

I'm always struggling with the balance between creativity and orderliness. 

When things are organized for me it contributes to my creativity. I get a sense of clarity that frees my mind to search new ideas, start new projects, and take new approaches. 

On the other hand, my creativity sometimes captures my focus to the detriment of my files and the day-to-day work of running my business. What happens is one thing leads to another, and another, ... you get the idea.

When this happens, things start to pile up: research files, books, magazines, laundry, dishes, ... life.

It's been a struggle to discover the system that works better than the current ebb and flow of organization and the accompanying inefficiencies within my office. On most days it seems impossible that I ever will. Add to that the time that I've worked on coming up with an alternate solution and I would almost agree that its impossible.

Then a piece falls into place and I make headway on the issue. So even though the process isn't over, I can see the impossible is possible.

Wishing you impossible dreams.

Sincerely,
