simplify my life

I got rid of all the bags of clothes/shoes/purses/crap. I got rid of an old printer that’s been sitting in my apartment broken for months. I got rid of a storage bin and an night stand I wasn’t using. I rearranged my teeny tiny bedroom so there is SLIGHTLY more space.
I changed the wall art above my bed so that it is more soothing positive images.
I went to yoga last week.
I am TRYING to make an acupuncture appointment.
I have finally gotten my schedule for summer and fall classes so that’s one less thing I can worry about.
I filed 6 months worth of papers that were piling up on the shelf below my coffee table.
I am slowly trying to lessen the load of catalogues I receive. I have already cancelled one. More progress to be made on this one.

Note to self: Figure out which user manuals I can find online and get rid of old paper ones to make space in my filing cabinet.
Work on ridding my mailboxes of catalogs and spam emails.

Well I have begun. I have about 6 bags of stuff to give away sitting in my living room. Since I am carless, my mom has agreed to come out on Tuesday and help me get it to St. Anthony’s or Goodwill or wherever I decide to take it to. So far I am getting rid of a bag full of purses, two bags of clothing/shoes, a bag of dishes, and a bag of shot glasses and other random crap. I have just gone through the two big storage containers underneath my bed and gotten rid of enough stuff that I was able to empty out my nightstand and I hope to convince my mother to take that to her house. I know I will want it at some point, but there’s just not space for it in my life (i.e. tiny bedroom) right now. I think I will have enough time to fill up at least one more bag of clothes before then and go through my jewelry box. I still need to figure out what to do with all of these shoes!! I can’t bear to give anymore away.

Step One: Get rid of all clothes, shoes, accessories, and knick knacks that I do not need/use/want.
