I have spent some time over the past month reading lots of other's people blogs and web sites on organization etc and just about everyone of them says WRITE IT DOWN!
So this is my first attempt at creating a monthly plan. These are not meant to be extremely detailed action by action lists but more of a way to focus on a particular topic or topics.
This month my plans are to get rid of more stuff that I never use. My plan is to use Freecycle and Goodwill here in Sarnia. Most of the usable items such as TVs, VCRs, computers etc will go on FreeCycle and clothing etc will go to Goodwill.
One of the blogs that I have been following is focused on Minimalist Living. Basically doing more with less. Maybe this is due to my time in Nicaragua but it seems to me that we (residents on the Western world) have too much junk and never use most of it. So why have it?
Sort of hand in hand with the minimalist ideas is to become completely debt free and drop out of the consumer driven lifestyle that I am stuck in. Only buy things that I need right now and can pay cash for. If I don't need it today then I don't buy it and if I can't pay cash then it is off the list.
Obviously there will be some exceptions but that will be the main theme. I will post updates throughout the month to let you know how I am doing.
Wish me luck ;)
