How I did it
How to maintain my incoming snail mail & email everyday.
It took me
11 weeks
It made me
Feel In Control!!!

How I did it: I threw away all the current "junk" mail I already had. Bills, letters and magazines I kept. I set an attractive wooden box with a lid on my counter. Everyday when I get the mail, I immediately open each piece. I shred or throw away anything I don't want.

Get my credit card balances below 50% full.
Chart 9 months ago

Recently I created a chart so I could see all of my credit account balances and interest rates in order of high to low. Then I developed a plan to get them paid down. It’s been a very useful tool. I’m much more motivated to make large payments and discontinue using my cards altogether.

Karate 9 months ago

My 3 year old nephew just started taking Karate classes, so I sent him a care package to help keep him motivated. It included a cute little picture book about sock monkeys (one is doing karate, too funny), a miniature sock monkey, and of course, a bunch of stickers.

Research jobs that interest me.
Craigslist 10 months ago

Worked on this goal today because I’m so stressed out about my job and thinking about leaving again. I really like the listings on Craigslist, and the site is so much more user-friendly than other job search sitesa I’ve looked at.
