Social Gathering Survey Results – Impatience
Social Gathering Survey Results – Impatience
Question 1: Is it you who is impatient or is it the pressure that friends/family/those you live with who are making you feel impatient?
Joint 1st place:
- Me
- It used to be me but I’ve accepted it’s going to take me longer than I expected to clear my clutter
Question 2: Which ‘cost’ do you think you struggle to accept the most in relation to your Clutter Clearing?
1st place:
The reality of how long it’s going to take – that there isn’t a quicker way to do this (even though I’ve had my clutter challenge longer than it will realistically take to clear it slowly and steadily)
Question 3: How long do you / did you try to deal with your clutter until you got angry / gave up / procrastinated / changed your goal?
Joint 1st place:
- Minutes – the overwhelm made me impatient
- Half a day
- A couple of days
Comment: I would get a good start and then be unable to return for a second session.
Question 4: Given what you’ve learnt about Impatience, what are you going to TRY to manage your impatience between now and Easter?
Joint 1st place:
- Focus on one goal at a time
- Accept that clearing my clutter is going to take more time, energy, effort, focus, emotion and discomfort than I thought
- Record the successes in my Success / Gratitude Journal
Comment: Notice any insults which I may direct toward myself when I feel impatient, and look for ways to speak and act with kindness instead.
