There’s an Elephant in My Room


         There’s an elephant in my room,

          he started out quite small.

          But now the elephant in the room

          has grown from wall to wall.

 

          He once lived in the basement,

          Then he spread to the garage

          Now he’s gotten in the house

          And he’s getting kind of large.

 

          His body’s on the counter,

          his snout goes down the hall

          His ears hang out the window,

          and his tail’s against the wall.

 

          He used to be so tiny,

          (he just sat there on the floor)

          But now he’s gotten bigger

          and he won’t fit through the door.

 

          The elephant has many names,

          He’s chaos, clutter.......crap

          He’s all the things that in my life

          Make me feel so trapped

 

          I want the elephant to leave

          For he takes up so much space

          That I can barely work around him

          He’s taken over my place



          The elephant is everything

          Disorganized in my life

          I’d like to be back in control

          I’d like to end this strife

 

          So I went to see the organizer

          And I asked her “tell me please,

          How do I eat the elephant?

          How do I tame this beast? ”

 

          “This elephant”, she asked me

          “Did he get there in a day?”

          Said I, “He grew quite slowly

          And now he’s in the way.”

 

          “Likewise”, she said,  “the problem

          Will not disappear overnight

           Because to eat the elephant

          You must do so bite by bite.

 

          First you fix the counter,

          then you fix the hall,

          then you tackle the inbox,

          Next the basement, wall to wall

 

         In little steps you conquer

         Little habits you remake

         And bite by bite from the elephant

          Your home you will retake.

What’s Your Elephant?


Do you want to “get organized”
but don’t know where to start?


Would your family be able to find all your vital papers if something happened to you tomorrow?


Do you need a system for dealing

with the paperwork in your life?


Do your aging parents need more

of your time than you can give them?


Do you need to purge and de-clutter

before a move? or need help unpacking?


Welcome to Eat That Elephant!

 

I understand the psychological and

physical toll disorganization can cause.

I understand that most people want to

live an organized, less stressful life but

for many reasons have found that goal elusive.

I understand that in many cases overwhelm

prevents you from taking that first “bite.”

I can help turn that overwhelm into action.
