Today I got up early to wait for Verizon and my landlord to get here so I can get my phone fixed. Landlord is late, but the Verizon guy gave me his cell # to call him when the landlord gets here! While waiting, I filed a pile of stuff, and recycled 10 pieces of paper/brochures, 9 postcards/cards, 5 donation requests (unopened as I can't help them now), 6 envelopes, and 9 notes/sticky notes.
I also got the day off unexpectedly. This is good because I have been working a lot without a break and need some time for myself so I don't get too crazy when I get back to it.
Next is washing the dishes, and later I'm going shopping for warm boots since another snowstorm is headed our way.

Saturday - Monday
I don't think I decluttered much over the weekend, since I was away working. I did pay a bill Sunday night and recycle the envelope and inserts. But today I took out the recycling and some garbage, paid two or three bills and recycled the envelopes, and recycled ten newspapers and a flyer.
And I got a TON of things done today: Phone calls re work, my rental, trading, debts, and getting my phone fixed; trading (exited with a 27% gain!); signing up to see my football team play the national championship; and running errands. I have been going ALL day, though it's been mostly mental energy, and I feel like I've moved mountains! I have to do actual work the rest of the week, and I'm already so tired, haha! But tomorrow I will hopefully get my phone fixed or closer to fixed, so my work might only be a half day.
Results: Holy cow, everything happened this weekend! I worked for my friend and made some money while enjoying time out of the city. My new renter moved in today with a payment for the first month, and I'll get the deposit and the next five months in a few days with the lease. My other renter also paid the rent. Then today I got out of my trade with a nice little profit! I am on track to pay off at least one debt this month, and maybe even buy a nice warm pair of winter boots this week.
I'm tired, but feel so good about the productivity of this day :) And now I get the treat of watching a really exciting football game. GO DUCKS!

Friday - Friday
Wow, what a crazy week I've had - work, work, work! I can't remember each day's declutters, but I managed to do a little bit here and there between jobs :) I have recycled three or four newspapers, done some dishes, taken out some trash, and changed the cat litter.
I DO remember today's declutter: I recycled seven expired coupons and the envelopes and inserts from four bills I paid.
Results: MONEY. I am making money hand over fist. I made just enough money over the weekend to cover the rent. It was tight for a few days after the rent got mailed, but I got a check from my dad for my tenant's (YES!) credit check yesterday, and today a check from work got deposited for me by a co-worker, and I worked at two jobs and got paid as well. So bills got paid and a deposit is being made tomorrow. I'm working again this weekend, which will mean more bills getting paid. And my current tenant's rent is on its way.
Finally, my new tenant is moving in next week - I should have the deposit soon. And I'm getting several months of rent in advance! And I have lots of work for the next few weeks so the money is going to keep flowing for awhile.
Today I got into a trade that looked good as well. I wanted to try a trending trade instead of just a one-day thing, so I'm holding this over the weekend and possibly for a couple days next week unless it goes south. It went up for awhile - I was ahead - and then it dropped a bit, and then went up again. Technically it looked like a good one to get in, and I got in at a good price, so we will see. At the close it was a few bucks ahead, which covers the commissions on the trade, so I'm breaking even right now.
It's been a good day. There has been some emotional decluttering as well, but that's a subject for another day. Goodnight!
