Day 57,
Something is changing internally..
I've made a (mostly internal) list of little inconveniences that keep happening in my life;
(1) I keep making trips from my desk to the garbage;
(2) I have a lot of clutter on my bathroom sink;
(3) My wardrobe is disorganized, with a bunch of different styles of clothes hangers for various clothing types.
(4) I only have one item for every thing I use often, and in many places; a comb, eye drops, etc.
(5) My car is a bit messy, with a full garbage;
(6) My bathroom's toilet brush is flimsy and the brush keeps snapping off the handle; I have to keep screwing it back on in the toilet water.
(7) My belts are all rolled up, which busy up my counter place;
(8) My backpack is all dusty and gross;
(9) My work desk was full of paper, dusty, and the floor was messy;
(10) The spokes of my dinner chair at breakfast kept un-sticking and separating while I sit on it on breakfast; I keep having to stop what I'm doing, and lean over to re-attach the pieces.
The last 2 days, I've been systematically going through that list and knocking off the items in this list.
The best part is that it was something that I wanted to do, and didn't feel any resistance in doing. And so:
(1) I moved a small garbage bin from next to my bed to next to my desk;
(2) I bought a small container to store small items on my sink;
(3) I put all of my clothes on the same type of clothing hanger, and put my blazers onto wooden hangers.
(4) I bought a comb lol. I might buy more sets of eye drops.
(5) I went to a gas station with a vacuuming station and cleaned out my car, wiped the dashboard, and emptied the trash;
(6) I bought a new toilet brush.
(7) I just bought a belt hanger;
(8) I'm in the process of cleaning out my backpack;
(9) I cleared out all the unnecessary paper from my desk, wiped everything down, and asked maintenance to pass the mop;
(10) I used a bungee cord to keep the spokes together.
Furthermore, I:
(11) Took inventory of the things in my apartment that is either unnecessary or not useful to keep out, and I've been organizing that;
(12) I went to a thrift-store and bought two new blazers - one is more of an autumn coat - and one new set of slick dress pants, along with three versatile dress shirts, all for 82 dollars. But, I might have fucked up the pants by trying to cold machine wash on gentle cycle; it's looking a bit patchy, but it might be wet/dry patches;
(13) Attended a voice lesson, catching up with my previous voice teacher.
(14) Gave my number to a cute woman who did my check out at the thrift store where I bought my clothes. I might have freaked her out a bit based on her reaction LOL. Who knows if she'll reach out.
In the future, I'm going to:
(15) Clear out the contents of my laptop storage; Sam Ovens (see below) has a philosophy that your actions get mirrored back to you. If you torrent, look for freebies, and rip off others, you'll find that people are willing to look for freebies and try to rip you off. So, I'll either remove it from my hard drive, or keep it on, but buy whatever I want to keep, either digitally or paper-back.
(16) I've been getting the urge to cut my hair really short, just to make it much simpler to manage. Right now, putting on a t-shirt can mess up my hair. Also, my scalp is thinning - and that process is accelerating thanks to Rogaine - so having long hair with thinning hair will look strange over time;
(17) Tag all the clothes that I want to improve upon, and take them to the tailors to hem. I'll also take my dry-cleaning lesson seriously.
I've been listening to a lot of (business owner) Sam Ovens, and am over 50% through Psycho-Cybernetics; I like their philosophies and will be applying these concepts to continue growing and developing.
