JASON: GETTING ORGANISED




          the grey 'blank' blank       
yellow highlighter pen and tippex
procrastination, letting your mind wonder wander, welcoming interruptions,  getting sidetracked by far less important jobs and taking extended tea and meal breaks.

Annie Wilkes knows her prisoner has been out of his room because her miniature porcelain penguin has moved a few millimetres. It should have been facing due south, where she placed it. So she breaks his legs with a sledgehammer.

microwave arrangement

tokonoma principles

Tokonoma or Toko - a niche or alcove in the wall of a Japanese house for the display of usually just 3 decorative objects often including a flower arrangement and scroll.

Remove all your paintings, pictures, wall art and photographs from a room, and set aside one area - preferably a corner. You could choose to paint this area a slightly different colour from the rest of the wall, or mark it off in paint like a frame. Place a table, or buffet or a chest of drawers there, and on it place a vase of flowers picked from the garden. Behind, hang your favourite painting or photograph. That's it - nothing else.

Now look at it. When it's the only thing in the room to fix on, you'll find you pay much more attention to it. But after a week or a few weeks, you'll also realise that you're looking at it less. This is the time to change the art, just as you would change the flowers as they dry and wither.

Try this approach at home and see how you get on - by cycling the things you own, you'll generally find that you need fewer things but that you build a deeper appreciation of each one individually.
