Isn't it Just Like Me?

 I read on one of the Facebook selling groups I belong to that it is worthwhile to write down all the things you are good at and then take advantage of your strengths. Stacking I think he called it. Stack what you do well.

I thought, well I am good at research.

I am good at description which I have turned into a relatively good SEO.

I am a good photographer and have an excellent eye.

I am very versed in customer service.

I don't do drama on the Internet. You have in issue with me, I fix it, I don't dilly dally or argue around.

I am a good at sourcing. And improving.

And the list goes on.

What I am not good at, and I am finding is essential to this side business, is Organization.

I was once in a job interview and I realized way into the interview that I was very leery of this job. They asked the question, tell us where you have area's to improve and I just let it out. "I'm a procrastinator, I put off what I should be working on until the very last moment. (at the time working under pressure was not an issue for me as it is not, 15 years later), I'm unorganized and find myself frustrated because of it. I can't remember the 3rd thing I blurted out, but they were all true.

The funny part is, I got the job anyway. maybe they liked my honestly. Maybe their area boss, (my old boss in my other facility) told them to hire me. 

But today it is the same. I'm a procrastinator and I'm unorganized.

I spend an exorbitant amount of waster time looking for an 8$ item.

And now, my J is in another city with his daughter giving me a break because I was so close to the breaking point, and here I am, wasting time at the library, writing a post when I should be home taking advantage of this gift of time to list my death pile, prepare for a Yard Sale (move my dead inventory as I improve with my sourcing) and ORGANIZE the garage.

Nope, same old story 15 years later.
