The Heart of the Matter

February 2005

How does thinking or speaking negatively affect your organizing efforts? Thoughts become feelings; feelings become beliefs; and beliefs become action--or lack of it.

“This is too hard” or “I’m no good at this” produce a life of struggle in which you feel depleted, incapable, and burdened. Is this where you want to be? We must evaluate and affirm what we desire in our lives. Donald Trump says, “As long as you’re going to be thinking anyway, think big.” Let’s choose to think, speak, and be positive about ourselves. If you’re thinking “Hopelessly cluttered,” think again. We are what we repeat.

Let’s get to the heart of the matter with Sweethearts®, the classic candy hearts made by NECCO since 1866. While you’re thinking, you might as well think of something positive to inscribe on your heart. Check out our Top 10 positive organizing mottos below. Humor me—they surpass the standard of no more than 9 letters!

Lose it (perfectionism, procrastination)
Love it (order, simplicity)
Wide open (spaces, possibilities)
(You have) Enough
Think (organized)
Brain (your best organizing tool)
Good thing (s happen when you’re organized™)
Walk away (from clutter)
Say no (to limiting thoughts)
Progress (make some)
