How I did it
How to go to New York City
It took me
7 days
It made me

How I did it: I went with my family. We packed so much into 1 week that it feels like we were there for 2 weeks but we had so much fun!!It's funny, New York itself is exactly how you would imagine it to be as you see it everywhere in movies and TV but at the same time it is so beautiful and surreal and I loved looking up at the tall buildings towering over you, discovering the little villages and shopping streets like Canal Street and Greenwich Village… Read how I did it…

How to be a landlady
It took me
2 months
It made me

How I did it: Well technically my parents are into the property business and 2 years ago they decided to buy a house in my name. I currently have £15,000 in equity on it which is very comforting for the future as I don't have any savings or anything. At least I know I'll always be able to get a footing on the property ladder.

How to get rid of unnecessary possessions
It took me
2 days
It made me

How I did it: My mum and I spent 2 days clearing out my room. I filled up 3 box files of random things from my life that I wanted to keep- things I knew I'd want to look back over in the future. I got rid of old beanie babies and things I've just accumulated. It was fun because I was re-discovering things over and over. What was interesting is that things that I specifically remember NOT wanting to throw away when I was younger, were just meaningless t… Read how I did it…

learn origami
After an hour or so, I finally mastered one of the modular models! 9 months ago

Based on this NYC Metro Card Origami Cube, I made my own version with some old UK train tickets I found. If it wasn’t so small it wouldn’t have been so difficult and fiddly I think!

Once you figure out the mechanism it’s easy and if you go wrong (as I did a few times), you can easily sort it out :)

I suppose it’s pretty pointless really, I don’t know what to do with it but I definitely want to make more ;)

become more confident
I want to have the kind of self-confidence that is unwavering, especially when you need to pick yourself up! 10 months ago

So I bought this book yesterday: Confidence: The Art of Getting What You Want. I mostly bought it on a whim because I needed a book to read on the train and couldn’t decide from any of the fiction books so went for this. I’m glad I did, it seems that the writer and psychologist Dr Rob Yeung really knows what he’s talking about. I like that he also stresses that you have to put the work in yourself and you won’t necessarily get instant results. He really gets you involved and gives you little exercises and homeworks to do and practice applying to your life. I am going to do it properly, do the exercises, learn the techniques and fully apply it to myself. The reviews at Amazon back up what I have got from it so far, if anyone wants to read them here.
