So this morning I rolled out of bed feeling kinda sluggish, you know? Brewed my usual dark roast coffee and grabbed some toast before plopping down at the kitchen table. Figured I’d check my Virgo horoscope for today, November 13th, 2024, see what the stars suggested. Found it online—easy enough.
Here’s what it basically said: Today is about practical solutions and tackling what you’ve ignored. Stop overthinking and just start doing. Oh, and organize that messy space already! Typical Virgo stuff, right? Felt like it was nudging me directly.
Now, my home office? Total disaster zone. Papers everywhere, cables tangled like snakes, and stuff piled on the chair I should be sitting in. Been ignoring it for weeks. Honestly, the thought of tackling it made me wanna crawl back into bed. But the horoscope said “just start doing,” so I thought… alright, fine. No grand plan.
This is exactly how it went down:
- 9:00 AM: Took a deep breath. Walked into the office. Just stared at the chaos. Didn’t even know where to begin.
- 9:15 AM: Put on some background music (no lyrics, too distracting). Grabbed a trash bag. First target: obvious garbage. Old receipts, empty snack wrappers, dried-out pens – boom, straight into the bag. Felt kinda good actually.
- 10:00 AM: Hit the cable monster behind the desk. Found a handful of velcro ties I bought months ago and never used. Wrestled those cords into submission. Took way longer than it should have.
- 11:00 AM: Faced the paper stacks on the desk. Started sorting: bills to pay, random notes, stuff to file, stuff to shred. Made three piles. Found my missing car insurance renewal in the mess. Whoops!
- 11:30 AM: Glanced at the chair. It had become a dumping ground for random items – books, a sweater, that weird gadget I bought on impulse. Boxed up stuff that belonged elsewhere in the house. Dumped the rest onto the now-clear desk to sort properly.
- 12:00 PM: Stomach growled. Took a break. Looked back at the room. It wasn’t magazine-perfect, but the floor was visible, the desk surface wasn’t actively plotting against me, and I could actually see my keyboard. Major win.
After lunch, I tackled the sorted papers:
- Filed important stuff.
- Set bills near my laptop to pay later.
- Fed the shredder a satisfying amount of junk.
- Put that random gadget where it actually belongs (garage, of course).
By 3 PM, the office felt… lighter. Calmer. I actually sat at the desk and answered emails without feeling stressed by the surroundings.
So yeah, the horoscope was spot on. I’d ignored that mess forever, overthinking how much effort it would take. Today, I just started with one small thing (the trash), and momentum kicked in. It wasn’t glamorous, no fancy organizers bought, just finally dealing with it practically. Turns out, just starting is 90% of the battle. My Virgo brain feels so much more settled now, ready to actually use this space. Feels good to have listened.
