Sue’s New Year’s Riddle

In one of the pivotal scenes in the book and movie, The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien, the hobbit hero Bilbo gets into an epic contest of wits with the monster Gollum. Bilbo escapes Gollum’s dark cave by winning a round of challenging riddles.

With that picture in mind, here is a New Year’s riddle for you:  What is silent and insidious, frustrates our hopes and dreams, tempts us to avoid the things we feel incompetent in doing, and makes us put off the things we’re uncomfortable with and don’t like to do, or simply don’t care to do?

The answer is a monster as treacherous as Gollum. Its name — PROCRASTINATION!  To read more about how you can slay this time-robbing monster, check out this post: Something We Could Do Without.

Sue’s Story

I've been a professional organizer most of my adult life. Who I am and why I love my work comes from how I was raised and the mysteries of DNA!

From the most humble of beginnings in Kentucky to helping businesses and organizations across the U.S., I always try my best to share both practical and inspirational principles and techniques.

I hope you enjoy your visit here and come back often. And feel free to call or email anytime.

Even though you might reach me on my porch looking out at the Colorado Rockies, a born and bred Kentucky girl enjoys a good chat.
