Prompt: 11 Things. What are 11 things your life doesn't need in 2011? How will you go about eliminating them? How will getting rid of these 11 things change your life?
Wow. Off the top of my big old head:
- Clutter: To much stuff! I have so much laundry and so much dishes all the time because we have to many clothes and to many dishes!
-- Sam's Advice: Time to donate! There is a terrific shelter here and they feed hundreds everyday off of reusable donated dishes etc. I am boxing all but service for 8 up and out. Clothes to. I am going to determine how much of each thing I need in a wardrobe them sent the still usefull stuff out into the world. - Weight: Eat too much - have to much.
-- Sam's advice: I am committing to kitchen food. Stuff I make and I think this problem will take care of itself. And no food in 2011 from anything that has a drive-through! - Regret: My regrets lay firmly in the want to/have not column. Good intentions and all that rubbish. Most of the things on this list I suspect will be things left undone that are meant to free up my life. Treats not torture. Less regret. It only causes shame and remorse and eats erodes your self-esteem.
-- Sam's advice: Get on it or get over it! - Rhetoric: I got very fired up about politics and such in the 08 presidential elections and now I want to scale back and have efficient reliable sources of info.
-- Sam's Advice: I am going to get my news from reliable sources. And less of it.No more pundits. - Waste: I think waste-free like perfection is a nice goal. There are so many opportunities to scale back. So few things need to be "disposable." When did we all forget that disposable means in a way useless, worthless?
-- Sam's advice: Why would we want to fill our life with disposables? Real towels, napkins, etc. WOO! - Wasted time: I shall use my most valuable resource wisely. Moderate and such. Not lull away mad hours looking at useless data bits on a screen. I want to nourish my mind and soul more.
-- Sam's advice: Moderation. Set timers if you have to but stop wasting your life away! - Sugar: Less. Much less.
-- Sam's advice: Cook more shop less - be prepared and safe guard the pantry! - Meat: Less. Much less. It makes me feel yucky
-- Sam's advice: learn how to can and pickle and such, in the much expanded garden. Be sure to have lots of fresh produce about. - Anger: Such an odd little fellow Anger. He pretends to be a friend that he will somehow protect or comfort you, but he just leaves you sore and tired and dirty - Like a bad booty-call.
-- Sam's advice: For starters: Use cruise control and stay out of the passing lane. - Isolation: Not lovely alone-time. I am good company but I want less hiding, when the blues hit. Makes a bad thing well worse.
-- Sam's advice: Tell on myself. Let people know where you are before you are there so long you no longer can! Have a buddy system. Someone who can call you on isolation if they have not heard from you in a specified amount of time and return the favor by helping them with something they struggle with!
- Procrastination: Putting stuff off just makes it loom ever larger. Get it over with! Whether its a school assignment or taking the can tot he curb, whatever!
-- Sam's advice: Just effin' do it!
