I am not Martha Stewart

Do you have one of those big household projects that you’ve put off for years and years because it’s obviously so complicated and time consuming – like, say, organizing all of the old photographs and negatives that have been sitting in boxes forever – and you don’t start because it’s going to take up so much space to spread everything out and who knows how long everything will need to be all spread out like that and what if you need your desk during that time or you need to gocco all of your Valentine’s Day cards or you have unexpected guests and you want to put them in the guestroom but you have piles of photographs all over the guestroom, plus, you just know that once you finally get started you’re going to need to go to the store because no matter how organized you think you are you’ll need some archival something or another and all of that stuff costs money and you wouldn’t be caught dead in the scrapbooking aisle so you keep putting the project off because who has the time or the energy to devote to such a massive project and then one day you sit down and pull some boxes out just to assess how big the project is really going to be and in the process you actually start the project, and finish it, because the project you thought was going to be so huge and all-consuming turned out to only take about ninety minutes to complete and it all fit neatly in the archival boxes you already had? Yeah, me too.
