I gave up writing about it here on 43things and moved on with it, in the end I was doing 3 or 4h during weekends just to see the end of the mess! Now I have all my paperwork in order: papers worth keeping were scanned, some filed, bills all paid etc. Now I have a SYSTEM in place to deal with paperwork as it arrives: they are placed in a folder call “process” and once a week a reminder in outlook pops up reminding me to go through my “process” folder. Also asked Mr Pcyclepath for some suggestions and we came up with a flowchart that really makes sense. I’ve been following my system and making adjustments as I go along. Great I’m feeling in control and no longer losing sleep over this!

It’s not a train coming, it’s the exit I’m sure. I’m antecipating how happier and at peace I’ll be once I’m out of here. It seems possible already.

Yesterday Mr Pcyclepath at first convinced me to take the day off and take it easy… but after watching a film with him I decided to go back to my paperwork since this is bothering me so much. Today is a beautiful Sunday but I’ll resist my urge to go cycling and make more progress. Already did my 2h but I’m taking it further and spend the whole day sorting the mess. Today I’m shreding a lot of personal finance papers I no longer need.

For the first time since I started this I’m ENJOYING it, yes I cannot believe it. Two days ago I was depressed about this goal. I still a huge pile of paperwork to go through and the business is still a mess but I’m feeling more in control. I’m very confident I’ll be able to go through this, find a system and KEEP organized somehow. I hope to have all the business papers in order by the end of this week (month). I’ll start my next quarter (Set 1st) ON TOP of things, that’s my main goal.

And finally I’ll be able to concentrate again on more important and exciting stuff!

This summer I went swimming in the Mediterranean again, it was fantastic, even better than the last (first) time!! Some day I hope I’ll swim in an alpine lake, surrounded by majestic mountains, whooo hooooooo!
