It's all good practice :)
Getting ready for the big move to Toronto has been pretty hard going. Super busy every day & soooo much sorting out, re-cycling, trips to the Charity shop & trying to sell big stuff on Ebay... I am exhausted!
It'll all be worth it in the end and it's always good to have a big clear-out isn't it?
I find it cathartic once you get past the negative or sad memories that can come up when sorting through bags of old stuff. Even old clothes will remind me of a time or place that maybe wasn't so jolly for me so getting shot of it clears your mind a bit - I'm hesitant to use the word 'closure' as it's become quite over used but that's the only way to describe it I guess!
Closure. From an old time that you have moved forward from - that you won't forget but you can put to rest. I also get a cheeky thrill from seeing some of my old clothes go on sale in the charity shop hehe! It's lovely knowing someone else will get a whole new use out of the item & treasure it & never know what murky history lies behind it for me!
Today I started using a schedule - my first since I was at school eek! And so far it's really helped me get much more done :)
For instance - I've broken the day down into 2 hour slots & it's helping me to not spend ages on one project & then missing another chore altogether. Here's how today looked:
10am - *Breakfast
12pm - *Wrap up Ebay sales items (Whoop!) & Go to Post office
*Go for walk
2pm - *Lunch
*An hour of Shredding (zzzzzz) And paperwork sorting.
4pm - *Take cat to Vets
*Snack & Cuppa - Homemade Chocolate Brownies today Yum!
6pm - *Go to superstore to buy more packing materials for Ebay sales (again Whoop!) (Can you tell I find
Ebay a bit too exiting?!)
*Grocery shopping
8pm - *Dinner
10pm - * Hugs & watch TV (The manshape told me I must put hugs in the schedule hehe!)
12pm - *Bedtime
Now - this may look slightly unorthodox time-wise to the average bear but I'm used to going to bed at 4am & getting up at midday so - this is a huge change & improvement for me already!
Ok, Must make another Schedule for tomorrow - more shredding in my future I suspect - Snooze!
