Tuesday: I went to the laundromat and came home to do the dishes while the wash was going. That's what I call efficient!
Wednesday: I don't know if I decluttered anything - maybe some cat food cans went in the recycling. Did dishes too.
Thursday: I recycled a post-it and a notepaper. Also did dishes and swept up the cat area after cleaning the catbox. I put the laundry away, and put an old sock in the recycling bag - it had been used for a rag.

Sunday/Monday
On Sunday I put away the dry laundry and put two sheets in a bag to take to the textile recycling booth at the Farmer's Market. And I sorted out another load of laundry. I was too tired again to do much else.
Today I woke feeling MUCH more rested. I have paid four bills, recycling the envelopes and inserts from three of them (the other is online), and also recycled two inserts from an account statement and 24 post-its! Also printed a bunch of statements I needed.
Results: I got a great deal on an airline ticket over the weekend. Am taking a mini-vacation to work on my house and hopefully give my dad a birthday surprise visit :) I also got the inspection on the place set up to take place the day I arrive, which is awesome! I am excited to get out of town for a few days.

Friday/Saturday
On Friday I slept in till 11:30 to begin the weekend of rejuvenation. I also drank lemonade with camu in it for energy. I think it helps. I'm trying it again Sunday to see.
Made soup and Listened to another webinar on Friday afternoon, and got the garbage ready to go out and a load of laundry ready for Saturday. I don't think I actually decluttered anything, just had lots of downtime.
On Saturday I did a lot: Slept in till 12:20! and then got to work right away cuz the cat decided to take a nap in the filthy catbox cover - I'd left it off cuz the litter was so pungent I was afraid the cat would choke on it - so I had to give her a bath. Then I cleaned the catbox cover and changed the litter. After a shower and a little goofing off, I took out the garbage, did laundry, and bought ink (using my Staples rewards for a little money off), then came home and put the laundry on the roof (I have a rack) to dry while there was still a little sun, took out the recycling, uprooted my tomato plants and tossed in the empty lot, took pics of a couple of things to sell on craigslist, did dishes, and ate soup. Finally, I cleaned the bathroom sink.
I was really tired again after this little bit of work. It's so weird for me to be this tired. I used to be a little whirlwind, always bouncing off the walls with energy. I haven't been that energetic for a long time, but this is a new level of tired. I'm taking more vitamins and getting more sleep, eating more greens and drinking more water, and generally hoping the energy comes back a bit soon. I am convinced, though, that it has to do with the EFT exercises I'm doing daily. I am releasing so much emotion that I didn't really think was still there, and I think that's just wearing me out. It'll be over in another month! and the benefits will outweigh the temporary inconvenience of dragging myself around. :)

Tuesday - Thursday
The last couple days have been a blur. I've been so exhausted at the end of the work day that it's just silly. I know I recycled some papers and things, but I don't remember what they were.
On Tuesday after work, however, I tried this trick I learned on a teleclass from Lisa Nichols. She schedules time for certain tasks and then tells herself that task "owns" that time. So I made a list of things to do when I got home that night, cuz I didn't know exactly what time it would be. It included catching up on some stuff I'd put off, but also included the dishes and catbox. And I did them all before doing anything else! It was good - I think I can make it a regular thing.
I did throw out some rotting grapes on Tuesday or Wednesday. And I cleaned the catbox again on Wednesday and will clean it tonight. Finally, I paid a bill today.
Anyway, this weekend I have big plans for getting rid of some stuff or at least some dirt. First I'm going to get a LOT of sleep.

Weekend Decluttering
What a weekend! I know I decluttered some stuff, but I was busy doing a 3-day online business webinar series and I don't remember anything other than that! I think I recycled a few things: A paper towel roll, a tea box, and maybe even a regular box. I definitely took a book down to the lobby - a dictionary, which is STILL sitting there. It's a pretty poor dictionary, so maybe no one wants it for that reason. Also the binding broke so pages are loose, haha! Oh, I also decluttered a friendship that blew up out of nowhere. It served a purpose but it's OK that I get to move on.
Then yesterday I took out garbage and returned a book to the library - overdue because I was a space case last week and didn't take it back on my day off, grrr! I also paid a bill and recorded an auto-pay on another bill, and recycled their envelopes and inserts. And I decluttered major anger with the EFT.
Results: Majorly cool! The webinar was so awesome. They taught us what we needed to know to make $100 in 3 days. I didn't make $100, but I didn't promote it as heavily as I might have. I made just under $20! I am very excited about that because I really doubted that I'd make anything. I have had such negative beliefs about money that I just thought nothing would ever work for me. But evidently my beliefs are changing cuz this worked and it's duplicatable and easy to promote. I had to take a break cuz I was so fried after Sunday, but I'll get back to it and continue to promote it and watch as people find the page. In any case, I have two cool business pages on Facebook now!
I forgot to mention besides that on...Tuesday, I think, I found a subway card with 20c left on it! Also found some pennies but the 20c was very cool! I've been finding pennies this week too, two today and a couple yesterday or Friday. AND, I got asked if I had time for another job today, which I do, and need! And when I got home there was a letter from the Dept of Labor about a job opening that fits my skills. It's already been filled apparently, but it was full-time and I can't do that anyway. I was just curious as to the salary.
Finally, last night I noticed my near vision was better! And my mood has improved drastically the last couple days (it's been very up and down from the EFT) since releasing that old anger. Today I was able to keep myself on an even keel and even feel better than that by playing an ABC game where I think of all the uplifting words I can for each letter. I'm exhausted from a busy day at work, but I feel good and that's the main thing!
OH YEAH! Best thing of all! I came home tonight to heat! Yes, I no longer have to deal with the torture of a 60-degree apartment! Only had to freeze for four days, AND my landlord got a violation notice from the city, which showed up this morning to take the temp in my apartment! I am sorry for him, actually - he's been really nice to me lately, actually called me back Friday when I couldn't leave a message about the heat. He didn't DO anything that he said he would, but I'm starting to think he may just be overwhelmed and not a jerk after all. Whatever it is, I GOT HEAT!

Friday
Today I recycled an expired coupon and sticky note, and paid a bill and recycled the envelope and insert.
This Week
I forgot that I also took out garbage on Monday en route to the laundromat.
Tuesday: I paid a bill and recycled the envelope and insert. Also recycled the envelope and insert of another bill that I was going to pay but had to wait on till a deposit cleared. I made crock-pot roast overnight too.
Wednesday: I invited my guy over for dinner, and by the time he accepted I was lying on the couch exhausted from the occasional hormonal exhaustion that hits every couple years. But despite the disreputable state of my apartment I told him to come over anyway. I figured I could lay there a little while longer and then try to clean up a bit. The fatigue passed off and I got up and put the clothes in my room away. Then - this is not necessarily in order - I cleaned the toilet and catbox, put the clean laundry away, swept the living room and entry, bathroom, cat area, and kitchen, and did most of the dishes. The place actually looked and felt much better and it really didn't take that long.
Oh, yeah, I also shredded 10 old bank statements and such at work.
Thursday: I paid that bill. But I don't think I recycled anything - oh, maybe a plastic container for some candy I bought. I've been recycling them lately. But I did change my sheets and put my heating pad on my bed - just in time, it is much colder this morning than it's been yet this fall, in the upper 40s.
Results: I have gotten some ideas for things I can promote online through this webinar series I'm learning from. Had a nice call on Wednesday with the gal who's running that show and she got the brainstorming started.

Sunday, Monday
Thought a little twist on the Mamas & Papas was in order today :)
Sunday's declutter: Had to think about this one. I paid a bill and recycled the envelope. I also recycled another envelope. I felt like I did more but nope. Oh, yes there was, I cleaned the catbox.
Monday's declutter: I did laundry and swept part of the living room. Also swept the hallway and the area just inside my bedroom door. And I'm in the process of making black bean and ham soup. It's really not much soup when I'm done with it - I leave very little liquid. It's GOOOOOD, but I screwed up and starting cooking the soup without first cooking the beans, so had to stop and try to separate the beans from everything else in the soup. Not so easy. It will be interesting to see what I get!
Results: I had a major mood swing from good yesterday to bad today, but then I snapped out of it with this radical thought: What if I could be happy no matter what was happening?
Not really radical since I've read it a hundred times and have thought it before, but when you're in the dumps and it comes into your head, it feels radical. It shocks you out of the dumps and into a hopeful feeling. I felt like a loser today, like a failure at life, and then this thought pops into my head and I remembered that the only reason we go after anything in life is because we think we'll be happier in the accomplishment of it. So if I start with being happy, it takes all the sting away from failure or lack. It was pretty cool.

Friday and Saturday
Friday's declutter: I recycled a priority mail envelope, and paid a bill and recycled the envelope and insert. I did dishes and listened to a webinar about making money on the internet. I'm listening to them every week and there seems to be some potential there that I might be able to put to use.
Saturday's declutter: I recycled four newspapers and a bag of clothing and textiles, which I took to the farmers' market. It contained three wearable shirts, a wearable tank top, an old bra, my torn up slippers, an old pair of underwear, and 11 rags. I was excited to find this booth earlier this summer because it is so hard for me to throw away old shoes, for example, and this way I know they are being recycled. And usable clothing is being used. And they accept rags and old sheets and anything that's fabric, really. I've known about textile recycling for years, but didn't know how to get my stuff to the recyclers. So I was very pleased to find out about this group.
Results: Mixed bag this week. I have done several bad trades over the summer and did another one on Friday. I've come to the conclusion that I have a comfort zone for success with money and start sabotaging myself whenever I get too much success. So many things happened this summer with money that I am really seeing it as being stuck in an income zone. I grew up poor, and despite considerable skills and earning power, I continue to struggle for money. It's something I'm working on with the EFT exercises. I am interested to see how things change around me as I let go of my beliefs about money. I look around me and notice that there are people around me also struggling with lack of money. It's not a coincidence - we congregate with those who are most like us in terms of belief. And if we stay around people with different beliefs, one or the other has to shift for the relationship to continue. I have seen my unwitting influence on someone who is used to having much more money than I am, and I have also seen the influence of another who is always broke, on me - not that it was a leap for me to go there. I spent a lot of my life being constantly broke and I'm only now realizing now how very little it takes to get to that point again. It's a good thing to notice. Can't do anything about what you don't know. I think it is starting to work, though, because along with my usual pennies on the ground, I found a dollar bill yesterday!
As for the vision EFT, I am moving lots of emotions from old incidents of fear and guilt. It's really cool. My eyesight is not yet vastly improved, but the health of my eyes is better. I have had a problem with dry eyes for several years, and since the day I started this process they have felt less dry. That alone is worth the price of admission (the price of the program)! My eyes no longer feel as though they've been in contact with sandpaper by the end of the day. For me, this is a major thing. I'm so grateful that I got this program. :)

Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday
I have an addition for Monday: I took out a couple bags of garbage.
Tuesday: I took two books down to the lobby. Also recycled a shopping bag, a shopping list, a sale flyer, and the wrapper from FLOWERS MY HONEY GAVE ME! I didn't even ask, he surprised me :) I also cleaned the catbox.
Wednesday: Took eight old bank statements to work and shredded them. When I got home I roasted a chicken and worked for a friend until after midnight.
Thursday: Today I...just recycled a post-it and postcard (after ripping off the very tempting coupon).
Results: I had a long (for me) workday on Wednesday, which will translate into a nice paycheck in two weeks. I'm hoping this means things are picking up and I'll be putting in a few more hours each month - this year I've been down to about two hours a week at that job.
I've been continuing with EFT daily and letting go of more stuff. I'm super tired this week, and have felt stressed by the number of things I need to get done. I did have energy Wednesday morning before work, but by the time I got home I was wiped. Same thing today only no energy to start with, haha! Can't help thinking this is more release, though I'm sure my getting to bed late two nights in a row has had an effect :) Work doesn't normally take it out of me this much. A sleep day may be in order on Sunday.
Generally, though, I'm feeling good. The usual irritations are still there, and though I'm still getting just as irritated by them, I'm not holding on to them as long. It's been a lot easier to shift back into a more positive mode. Yay!

Saturday/Sunday/Monday
This past Saturday I went to a workshop that I had been looking forward to for some time and it did not disappoint! I did some mental decluttering there which I think is going to make a big difference in my happiness. I don't think I did any physical decluttering, but that's OK cuz really the mental stuff is what's responsible for the physical clutter, so the more of that I get resolved the better I'll be at ditching clutter.
On Sunday I did a lot more mental decluttering, working with EFT and sort of brainstorming. Got some good ideas for things. One of those things relates to an internet marketing course I'm doing. Part of the course involves coming up with a product if you don't have one. I realized I have one! It's a t-shirt slogan I came up with last year about the time I started The Clutter Project. It could be on mugs too, it doesn't matter, I just didn't know how to sell it. But now I'm gonna learn! Oh, I also put away some laundry - not all of it, just some!
Today I did EFT in the morning and got very inspired to clean. So I put away the rest of the laundry and the laundry rack, cleaned the catbox and swept up all the stray litter in the area, took one of the magical microfiber cloths to the bathtub and sink, and cleaned hair out of the sink drain. Then I did the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen sink and stove. Finally, I recycled a post-it.
While doing the EFT, I also wrote out my rent check cuz my landlord called to say he was checking to see if he could fix my broken intercom. I recycled a newspaper and a postcard. And I paid two bills and recycled the envelopes.
Last thing I did was catch up on the internet training call I'd missed.
Results: My tenant paid the rent yesterday! Yay!

Wednesday - Friday
Wednesday's declutter: I shredded 13 papers at work - old bank statements and a couple other random sensitive papers. I also decluttered a lot of emotional mess by having a good talk with my guy. I think I am going to end up moving on, but he told me that he wants me to be happy even if it's not with him, and that was something I was never sure of, so it was really good. I also continued the EFT and developed the worst headache I've had in years. Sometimes things get worse before they get better - the important thing is, I'm stirring stuff up and moving it around.
Oh, yeah, I also made some copies I needed so I used up scrap paper and can take my library book back now :) And I did dishes.
Thursday's declutter: I think I recycled some mail or some newspapers. There's quite a bit of paper in the bin anyhow. I worked all day so I don't really remember.
Friday's declutter: I did the laundry.
Results: I got a $10 gift card from Whole Foods for making a complaint about the meat department's quality standards! You know, complaining is not supposed to be good, but I keep cashing in on it. What's that about?
My neighbor gave me a PILE of tomatoes yesterday - since the weather cooled off very fast his tomatoes have been splitting so he's had to pick a ton of them, and he likes giving me some of them :)
I am feeling happy or at least not mad or fearful or upset since talking with my honey. I finally got something about not letting what he does or doesn't do get in the way of my happiness.
My tenant called me yesterday with a list of repairs he thought needed to be done and could be done for about $60 in supplies. I'm giving him a rent credit for doing the work. He also told me that my former manager had been trying to convince him to move into one of their fancy new apartments they had built. I was really bummed when they "fired" me as a client, but now I see you never know what good can come of these things, cuz I'd be out both tenants if the manager had convinced mine to leave. I wasn't there so I don't really know what was said, but talk about conflict of interest! My tenant said the only reason they raised their rates on their customers was because they built all these new apartments, and bought a lot of foreclosed houses, and now they can't rent the apartments cuz they're charging New York City rents, and can't move the foreclosures cuz the real estate market's slow, so they need money bad.
Finally, I got paid yesterday! Yay, the rent is handled. It's been a good week!
Oh, yeah, I also made some copies I needed so I used up scrap paper and can take my library book back now :) And I did dishes.
Thursday's declutter: I think I recycled some mail or some newspapers. There's quite a bit of paper in the bin anyhow. I worked all day so I don't really remember.
Friday's declutter: I did the laundry.
Results: I got a $10 gift card from Whole Foods for making a complaint about the meat department's quality standards! You know, complaining is not supposed to be good, but I keep cashing in on it. What's that about?
My neighbor gave me a PILE of tomatoes yesterday - since the weather cooled off very fast his tomatoes have been splitting so he's had to pick a ton of them, and he likes giving me some of them :)
I am feeling happy or at least not mad or fearful or upset since talking with my honey. I finally got something about not letting what he does or doesn't do get in the way of my happiness.
