I was walking the other morning and way up the hill from me a man on a bike was peddling back and forth from one side of the road to the other until he came even with his friend who was also on a bike. While the one person was still making progress up the hill the other person had gotten off his bike and was at a standstill.

I thought it would sure be hard for the person on the bike that had stopped to get going again and make it the rest of the way up the hill. Even though it was hard (and believe me it is a steep hill and is hard to bike up) by going a little at a time it would be easier than stopping.

You know me; I got to thinking about organizing and how organizing is like these two bikers. I think as I organize for women and for seniors some days we need to work on a big project and whether we get tired of doing it or just get tired we need to keep moving forward until the project is done.

I am always saying take tiny steps when organizing and I believe this completely. However with some projects even though it seems hard, it is easier in the end to just keep going and going, moving closer to our goal of getting that one place organized.

No matter what the organizing project it can be done using tiny steps, the important thing is to just keep going. It can be easier to keep going than to stop and work at getting the momentum going again.

Have you had an experience that you have found it easier to just keep going than to stop and come back to it later?
