Minimize existing clutter and excess possessions
Plan of Action 11 months ago

I’m just such a pack rat. The need to declutter was always in the back of my mind, but only recently when I read about The 100 Thing Challenge did I feel inspired to pursue this goal with gusto.
One thing that I plan to specifically minimize is my wardrobe. I’m planning on selling the majority of my tshirts (and other clothes that I don’t wear anymore) to a thrift store and donating the rest to charity (or friends who might want anything). I think that’s a good start for now.



observe Lent
Lent 2008 14 months ago

Okay, so I bent a few rules that I had originally imposed on myself. But rules only cause pain; I mean, it’s more about the mindset, right? Anyway. I more or less followed these things:
1. Praying – first thing when I woke up, last thing before bedtime. It was usually too quick/last minute, though.
2. Fasting – Gave up AIM. The easiest part, surprisingly.
3. Giving – started helping out at my home church, which I haven’t done in a long, long time.
Gotta work on my relation with God, self, and others more, even after Lent!
And yes, this post is late.
