As I mentioned in my previous post confused, too much stuff has been running through my mind. So today L did some cleaning out and feel at least a little better. While doing so I was conceiving in my mind things which I think reduce the confusion. I cam up with these 5 things which both ease my mind and provide productive focus. They’re probably not what you’d expect.
- Keep a personal budget with expense tracking.
- Have a clean and tidy car.
- Have a tidy house and garden.
- Have a clean work space.
- Do personal tasks more slowly.
I’m going to do these things more diligently and see how it feels.
I’ve never been able to keep a budget, probably because I never really needed it (incoming > outgoing).
I’ve started using wesabe.com, and while I haven’t used it to change behaviour yet, but it’s the first tracking system I have managed to make stick.
The other big change was using a credit card rather than cash for as many purchases as possible – importing my statement and tagging in wesabe takes a few minutes every month.
I wish my incoming was always greater than outgoing lol…and a clean car is something I’ve always been able to manage but a clean workspace has always eluded me, I wonder what’s wrong there?
