Day 36 of End Clutter & Get Organized (according to iTunes, it has been played 974 times)
I stopped listening to Ultra Motivation yesterday, after having listened to it for 34 days (according to iTunes, it has been played 545 times).
Last night, I started to listen to Write a Chapter a Day AGAIN (according to iTunes, it has been played 2921 times).
Yesterday I decided to stop listening to Ultra Motivation and listen to Write a Chapter a Day again. I'm still working on the analysis for my thesis, but I want to warm up for the writing process...
Could I feel any effect of Ultra Motivation? It's hard to say. My motivation is usually quite good - at least as far as working for my job and for my thesis are concerned. I also have a good accountability system set up which definitely helps with getting things done. On the other hand, except from maybe 1-2 days, my motivation was good to very good while listening to Ultra Motivation - even though my accountability partners weren't always available. Should I need a motivation boost, I'll definitely consider returning to this sub. What I like about this sub is that it's supposed to help with motivation in general, not just in one particular area.
I'll continue to listen to End Clutter & Get Organized for some time. I believe it is somewhat helping. I've done some decluttering that I wanted to do and while I think I would have done that anyway, the sub might have helped me to make it a bit easier.
There's still some decluttering and a lot of tidying and organizing to do, but my current focus is maintaining what I've achieved so far and work on developing habits such as vacuuming not just the kitchen, bathroom, hallway and living room once a week, but also my bedroom/study - and of course that also means that I have to keep the floor tidy so that the vacuuming can get done. I know that for tidy people this all sounds simple and natural and while I'm for sure cleaner and tidier in the kitchen and the bathroom than my roommate, keeping things clean and organized in my bedroom/study is a different story... I know it's all about having positive habits in place and I'm also working with a habit tracker to keep me motivated and accountable.
I understand that decluttering, tidying and getting organized is a progress that takes time (in particular when one has other goals that definitely seem to be more important) but I also know it's definitely worth working on getting better at this. That's why I want to continue listen to End Clutter & Get Organized for some time. I also know that my relationship will benefit from me becoming tidier - my partner is generally tidier than me although, fortunately, not pedantic. If this sub is replaced by a 4G, I'll definitely buy it.
I also hope that Shannon makes Write a Chapter a Day in 4G soon!
