Clutter

What is clutter?
How do we acummulate it?
Do we need it?

I have clutter. I have it in my house, in my office, in my home office and my place of business. (Yes, these are all different places)

Clutter does not only apply to your material possessions, oh no, it also applies to relationships and friends.

The thing to realize is, the more you let your life be overun by things you don't need, the more you will be unhappy and stressed out.

How much clothes do you really use? How many more shoes do you need? Do you constantly keep buying stuff whenever your deppressed, stressed or unhappy?

You have to think about these things. I had my epiphany about clutter just last year and the message was a clear one.

Simplify your life and attain happiness.

Cheap screen protector

There will always be cheaper ways to get things that you need.

My screen protector was a bit fraying at the sides and i decided to change it. Looking at mall prices i think that the going rate is 100 for the screen protector.



My mom and i went to Divisoria and found screen protectors at 50 pesos a pop. I guess we could have found cheaper ones if we looked around more but for me 50 pesos is a great price!

I always like it if i get the things that i need cheaper.

Also, this would also be a nice thing to give to your friends during Christmas or something. At least you can be assured that they would really use it.

Free post-it



When you decide to buy a whole pack of Rebisco biscuits, they give you sticky notes. I always love free stuff. Free stuff that you can use.
So go ahead, if you love eating Rebisco biscuits. ^_^

Your Planner for 2015

In the spirit of de-cluttering, i told myself that i wouldn't be buying a planner for 2015. I would just be using an old unused planner that i have lying around.

These planners are usually corporate giveaways.

What i ended up instead is this...



Well, i didn't buy it. Someone gave it to me.

To tell you frankly, I don't think the planner matches my personality at all. As the creators of this planners tote, this is for the IT girl. I guess it means "someone who's stylish, a social butterfly, creating a perfect balance of work and play" or something to that effect.




Here's the month at a glance page. Left side shows the month with some space at the top to list down all good habits you want to track. Right side has space for this months events and a "Draw yourself into this moment. Free your thought and feelings." Whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.




This is the Week on Two Pages spread. There are spaces for each day of the week and some at the top for...
#This week I will
#BDJ Make it happen
#Personal errands
#This Week's List of
#This Week I'm Thankful for

I get that its a planner but the emphasis seems to be for someone who has a crap load of activities.

Me, i just go to work. Head on home with the occasional going out with with my bff. That's it. I don't have events scheduled monthly.

So, just so I can use this planner and it not get on my nerves. I had to do this...





I had the Monthly sheet personalized. At the upper left page, i will be re-using that space to keep track of my networth. It helps me keep motivated and i tune with my decluttering.

On the right side, instead of the page, i covered up the events space with a list of books I am planning on reading this month. I have The Art of War and The Cinderella Complex to finish by end of January.

Right beside that are the lists of things i have on the weekly pages.








Improvents
On the left side
- i have a list of to buy things for the week
-list of to pay things
- have weather stickers printed and used beside the dates
-i track my water intake at the bottom
- also at the bottom are the things i eat and things i spent money on for the day

The lists are the most glaring but these are repositionable. I use these lists so they are on the forefront of my mind.

You see that flap in middle? I taped that to monitor daily activities that i have to do daily. Such as taking vitamins, walking, reading references, helping out the parents sa tindahan or whatever i want.

The right side shows pretty much the same thing.

Also ive secured the pages using magnetized bookmarks

I also feel that the planner is a bit overpriced. I think this planner is around 600 more or less.

Using mobile to write this, sorry if the pics are out of whack. I'll fix it, orientation wise when i logon again.
