How I did it
How to buy more shoes
It took me
100 years
It made me
meh

How I did it: the perfect shoe does not exist.  have decided to give up searching.Also, since i like nice shoes, its expensive. Then the worst are shoes that squeak or degrade or are too special to be worn or take too much care or wreck in the rain.At the time I made this goal, I did enjoy the process and in many ways I still do. I will inevitably buy more shoes however, its not a mission simply to own a multitude of shoes that I wont use. Th… Read how I did it…

How to live abroad
It took me
0 days
It made me
Cheers!

How I did it: I stayed in London for half a year. It wasn't quite living abroad but I loved being away in a different country amidst British people for such an extended period.I have a cousin in London and that made it easy. I had food and somewhere to live and access to a car.I picked up some easy work for pocket cash and shopping money.  Read how I did it…

keep a clean home (read all 2 entries…)
I wont mark this as done quite yet however...

I have learned that there is a system. Its not just laziness.

I really is about having a system and keeping a sharp eye for clutter build up.

Procrastination is sloths best ally.

Like my grandma used to say: a place for everything and everythign in its place. That has helped me a lot.

I also found so many duplicates, forgotten things, beloved things thought lost. Its so good to go through it all. Even the paper. I found unopened checks. Yea.. literally a treasure trove.

Best tips:
find a spot for every thing you pick up (and it might just be the tras)
trash or give away duplicates
categorize storage areas and NEVER have a “catch all” or “Junk drawer”
Hang shelves and buy bins/baskets,trays whatever

Its tiring and your neighbours will think you are moving out but its well worth it. So nice to be able to find everything!
