I've been trying to embrace impusivity and doing things the moment they pop in my head. It only works about 10% of the time but it's a start!
You know, I think I have been doing this subconsciously, basically picking up a thing here and there the second I see it rather than making a mental note about it. I like it, embracing impulsivity's helpfulness.
I think it's similar to the principle of "if you think of a task and you can complete it in less than 2 minutes, do it now." I agree, it doesn't work all the time, but when it works, it works. I organized my living room like that last week, basically moving one or two things at a time walking from one room to another on another mission.
