Gotta Get It Together

Ever felt like things are all out of place? A lot of things are in disarray? Well, this wasn't a familiar feeling years ago but I'm drowning in it now.

I've always been the organised kind - the type of person who knew exactly where everything is and how things are tracking. This is exactly why I prefer the minimalist lifestyle. Minimalist in my design and schedule so I can keep track of everything and be fully aware of my schedule. This isn't saying that I've got a photographic memory, that I never miss birthdays or any other special date. This simply means I make lists. I note down all that I need to know and remember and tick items off that list when its done.

I miss that person!!

I woke up with the gnawing feeling that I need to organise.. not just my lists but organise my life. I started with the basics like my workspace, my schedule, bills to pay but even that is driving me up the wall! Seriously, this is very frustrating, folks. Breathe in, breathe out. I know I can do this because I have done it before. I hate losing track of time, of wasting the day without seeing anything productive gone. I even miss blogging too. I love blogging but there's just so many things that preoccupy my mind space that I've forgotten about blogging and so many other things that I enjoy.

So that's my goal. Today, I'm going to start organising my work space, my computer, my song lists, bills. Tomorrow, maybe I can start organising the rest of my life.

A Lightbulb Moment

I've been seeing a counsellor (aka shrink, whatever you choose to call it) recently. She helps put things in perspective whenever crisis mode hits, which believe me, can happen very often.

Recently, I've found myself not enjoying the activities that I used to enjoy. When I told my counsellor this she helped me organise a values list. This list has all the things, people, ideologies and basically all that I value and uphold. She said whenever I don't feel like doing anything that I used to enjoy, to re-visit my values list and affirm myself that what I'm doing or about to do is strengthening the things that I uphold most in life.

Satisfaction from re-affirming my values will bring about happiness and enjoyment in whatever I'm doing or whoever I'm talking to.

May sound like simple and basic concept for some people but this was actually a light bulb moment for me.

More good things to come.
