How delightful! I am amazed how many of you wrote to say that you "knew exactly what needed to be accomplished by the 20th of November." And that you were taking matters into your own hands (with a list)...marvelous!
The idea of all this "reorganizing for health" is health, of course. Really health. There is so much surrounding us which we cannot control, usually mixed in with things we can control. The reorganizing is about separating those things, and addressing those we can control so we can view the rest for what they are, but not for what they are not.
I mean, one of your best friends might be dying of terminal cancer, and you are devastated because there is nothing you can do. However, lying down and not paying your bills or cleaning your room or forgetting to eat does not help you or your friend. It will make everything worse, and help nothing.
Ending November versus the end of November is about addressing what you can control to be able to manage what you cannot. Pay your bills, clean your room, and eat well so that whatever happens with your friend, you will be able to deal with it honestly, not overwhelmed by your own muddle.
To health!

very sensible.
Knowing both what you CAN control AND what you CAN'T control is pretty much the secret to life! Get that balance wrong and unhappiness arrives. Taking a moment with your journal to think it through and suddenly the insurmountable problem doesn't have you by it's throat. Even when there are plenty of areas you can't control, you know what you can do and know you've given it your best shot, so you can accept any outcome.
