Decluttering

Well, I think I flooded Facebook enough last night with all my photos and I think my blog is pretty full of photos as well. So this post won’t be photo based so rest assured your bandwidth is still intact

I’ve not been up to much lately, slowly getting into the swing of things as a full timer at work. I just got given a mobile phone and got some business cards made up. I’m getting the car relatively soon. And I’m getting paid for working. As I stand back and look at my life, I realise how blessed I am.

I cannot even begin to count my blessings. I landed a job even before I got out of uni, I get paid a good salary, I get perks that people would kill for, and I get a place to rent from a really good friend. Over the years, I thought maybe I didn’t have it so good, but you know what? I did. I was just too blind to see that God had already pre arranged everything for me. All I had to do was obey.

I am well aware of the current economic situation and how fortunate I am to be able to find work. I really treasure my job and the chance that I have been given to prove myself. I know people might see the odd hours I work as stressful (I finished at 6pm today. There are times where I finish at 7pm and will be starting work at 6.30am this Thursday), but you know *shrugs shoulders* come what may. I’ll take each day at a time.

Speaking of taking each day at a time, its this time of year where everyone starts breaking their New Year’s Resolutions. I for one, did not come up with New Years Resolutions. But I’ve been reading Karen Cheng’s blog and she has come up with monthly goals of things to do. I think that is much more realistic than trying to change just one big thing at the start of the year without being prepared for it at all. So I’ve taken in her footsteps (she’s one of my blogging inspirations, amongst a few) and written a short list for this month.

This month, January, I shall work on:

So that is what I’ll be doing for the rest of this month. I’ll be throwing out or charity bin-ing things, recycling items, and reusing items. I’ll also be attempting to bring lunch to work everyday for the rest of the month as part of a strategy to save. This sounds a bit like what I did at uni with goals and target objectives. Goals are basically an overall idea of what you want to do and target objectives are how you are going to get there. Think Occupational Therapy has been ingrained in me that I just use my skills without knowing it!

Well, off to put goal number 2 into action. Declutter my arts and craft box. Here’s to me doing things on time tonight!
