Using All the Tools

I have a lot of tools at my fingertips. A LOT. Remember from my previous post, I'm a hoarder. I'll get to that update in a bit.

I have a few books on Feng Shui living. A few on reducing clutter. I chose to begin with one of the anti-clutter books--actually I started to use it a few years ago, but like all things, it fell by the wayside. Perhaps with a blog keeping me accountable, I'll be a little more likely to see it through.

The book is Organizing from the Inside Out by Julie Morgenstern. From what I remember of the book before I ditched it years ago, she identifies different personality types who tend to hoard. I fit the classic definition. I'm working on a priority list of things to work on first and focus my energies on...in different tiers. Kind of boring to explain it all here, but it takes things I can't live without: my family, pets, friends, writing--and the next layer would include things like cooking, art, running, dance--and the next tier would be drumming, piano, etc. (Not an inclusive list, btw...)

I am such a work in progress, but I really do have all I need. It's either contained in information I can readily look up. Or I have had it within myself all along, and I just need to acknowledge that fact.

The fling boogie is going decently. I'm behind for the month so far, but it's the beginning of the month, and I'm behind by about 3 1/2 days, so it's not as terrible as it sounds. I know this for a fact, because it's not so hard to catch up when I'm behind with NaNoWriMo. I think, if I WriMo-ize my entire life, I'll be in pretty good shape!
