'cleansweep' my life up to 100% (http://betterme.org/cleansweep.html)

Since I’m scheduled to work seven days a week between now and March 11th, I am going to postpone this goal from end of February to end of April. I’m just stressing myself out trying to do this, and that’s unnecessary!

I have a few letters that I have to write on my mother’s behalf to remove my dad’s name from various things, and there are two phone calls I need to make for my daughter to get her doctor’s records sent over to her new doctor. These aren’t really personal in nature but since I’m doing them for someone I have a relationship with I’m putting it in this category.

I have a problem with this one. I don’t feel the need to have long polished nails. My job is not conducive to long nails and all the polish and polish remover make my nails dry out and split.

Having said that, what constitutes healthy and good-looking nails? My nails are clean, kept short but even.

I’ve started an accordian folder for the 2007 papers and receipts. Most of the 2006 papers are filed in another but I need to finish that. The 2005 to 2000 are in a box and need to be taken to storage. So this is almost done.

Since January is almost over, I’ll give myself until February 28th as the first month.

By the end of February I will be able to add the following to my list of checked off items:

Physical Environment
My personal files, papers, and receipts are neatly filed away.

My will is up-to-date and accurate.
I know how much I am worth.

I walk or exercise at least three times per week.

I am fully caught up with letters and calls.

My initial score is 35. [updated because I miscounted]

Physical Environment: 6/25
Money: 13/25
Well-Being: 8/25
Relationships: 8/25

I knew there was work required in Physical Environment, Well-Being and Relationships, but I thought Money was under control. I need to sit down and evaluate the areas that I’m not able to check-off, note which ones I’m already working on, and see if I’m on track for the 2 to 6 points for January.
