Use the 'clean sweep' checklist to improve my life

77/100

Cranking it now!

58/100

Improved, but still a way to go.

38/100 – lots of improving to be done.

Will give it a try.

54 now. Haven’t done much of the stuff I planned to do, but improved quite a bit, especially in the money section. +21 in 8 months =)

...like a rather scary Aunt who taps you on the shoulder to remind you that you could be administrating your life “so much better”. I don’t think I’ll ever completely clean sweep my life but someone who I told about it said, “If you did complete it, it would mean your life is very boring”. Which I’m not sure I agree with, but I know where they’re coming from. I think I scored somewhere in the sixties, so that’s not too bad. Not too good either but hey, you gotta dig a little slack as Bob Dobbs and the Church of the SubGenius would no doubt tell me.

Finally ironed out all my clothes that have been sitting there for about a month or so. So fresh and so clean clean!

I was just browing 43 things and I thought I might check out what this ‘clean sweep’ checklist is all about. I scored terribly for physical environment especially since I was ticking off things that were not relevant to me (not things that I had accomplished).

My room is definitely not neat and tidy.

I have a basket full of clothes waiting for me to iron (it’s been sitting there for nearly a month now)

I do not live in a house that I love but the rent is cheap.

I’ll need to do something about the first two.

My score for well-being is good and for relationships it’s quite ok. For physical environment and money it’s miserable.

So I’ll pick out the ones I should be able to work on now:
- neatly filing away my personal files, papers and receipts
- making and keeping my home clean and tidy
- making my work environment productive and inspiring
- continuing to surround myself with music
- getting on a track which is or will soon be financially and personally rewarding (which will help me to accomplish at least half of the money section)

So I start with glorious 33%. Ridiculously enough I score highest in “well-being”, which I actually considered to be my biggest problem… Well, I don’t have any income at the moment, that’s how I reach this abysmal score.

I chose not to take the “reach 100%” goal, because 1. I find it way too unrealistic for me, 2. I’d find a person like that painfully boring. I really don’t want to be 100% “clean sweeped”.
