The Thing That Finally Got Me Working on My Clutter

I've been a little absent from posting and commenting here the past couple of weeks because some really stressful things have been going on. But I've been trying to keep up with the program and work on my Rocks, even if it doesn't feel like I've made enough progress yet.

One of my Rocks is clutter, and getting myself to START is the hard part. Unless I have a deadline, it's really tough for me to get things done. I think this ties into being a Sacral Generator (according to Sage), which means I need something to respond to.

So even though I honestly didn't get the concept of body doubling at first (how would working at the same time as someone else actually help me?), I decided to try it yesterday. I did 2 sessions... and the first one inspired me to keep going afterward, so I worked on the clutter almost right up until the second session!

What a difference it made. If I'd been on my own schedule, I would have found a hundred other things to do. But something about being accountable to other people really works for me.

Have you tried body doubling yet? What was your experience? Were you skeptical at first like me, or did you dive right in? I'd love to hear what worked (or didn't) for you!
