How seriously organised I am??

 I came across this while browsing Pinterest and thought to myself that I must note this down and see   what I do already and perhaps can add more. 

Things I do already:

1. Declutter your purse regularly
2. Organise your closet
3. Set a Laundry day every week ( i do almost everyday)
4. Always wash your dishes after eating ( i put it away in Dishwasher ) 
5. Take out trash every morning ( this is weekly depending on the rubbish collection day)
6. Make your bed as soon as you get up 
7. Spend an hour cleaning every week 
8. Set a place for everything in your home
9. Spend 10-20 minutes tidying everyday
10. Use containers to sort things in your drawer ( i have boxes) 
11. Always put on matching bedsheets 
12. Always put things back in their place
13. Use neat paper for your notes 

Things I would want to incorporate in my daily life:

1. Take time every week to clean your make up brushes
2. Have a morning routine 
3. Get rid of the clothes that are faded 
4. Spray your bath with Limescale remover after shower
5. Plan your meals in advance 
6. Sort your photos in folders 
7. Plan your self care routine and stick to it 
8. Trash spam emails immediately 

Loved doing this exercise and hoping I will start doing them soon!! Need some motivation ! 

Within this week..

•  Inaugurated my week by accidently stumbling upon Adrian Whittle Photography @ Barbican Library during my lunch time walk. The photographs were from Asia / Africa and Latin America depicting everyday life of people 

•  Listened to podcast Stories of our times -" The best letters to the editor of 2022" 

• Watched very boring and fluff " Meet the Khans: Big in Bolton" series 3. This is about World Boxer  champion Amir Khan and fashionista wife Faryal. Unlike last seasons I could not maintain my attention and just could not be bothered to finish the episodes 

• To compensate, watched " Mumbai Mafia" on Netflix. The documentary centres around Mumbai and its   underworld.. rise and fall of Dawood Ibrahim. Explores time in Mumbai in 90s when it was a violent city where gangsters often wielded power more than police 

• Weekend started with quick trip to Bond Street to enter the world of Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama pop ups along the street. Both of them have reunited after 10 years to bring the artist's emblematic motifs to life 

• Dashed off to Harrods and bought x 2 chocolate bars - Milk and Dark for my sister. Then had our usual meal of Coffee / Chai / Cheese and Jalapeno pasty / Vanilla Sponge cake / Chicken tikka roll 

•  Last destination of the evening was attending the Winter Lights festival @ Canary Wharf. The place was heaving and looked as if whole of London descended upon this place

 

 

 

 

Notes - Psychologies March 2016

This issue focused on learning to be confident - stop feeling small, start being brave.

* If we use these words " justs,sorry,thinks and feels " then it gives a hint to recipient that we are unsure of ourselves lessening their confidence in our ideas.

* Fill your basket with joy, not things. - our lives are becoming ever more complex due to the amount of information we deal with daily,and the number of decisions we are faced with.By removing some of these decisions, we can free up more of our minds to focus on the good stuff.It is estimated that an adult makes approximately 35,000 decisions a day. That does not leave much headspace for the rest of our day to day existence. By consuming less, we will hopefully realise how much time we spend distracted by buying that aren't important to our quality of life. For four consecutive days, do not buy anything beyond food and water. Doing something beneficial for ourselves by spending less means we are also doing something positive for everyone. Buy things in a medical emergency, and travel costs are a given, but cut out all the decisions that create white noise in your head and you might be struck by how free you feel.

* Ask someone younger...sometimes we are so busy looking at those who have gone before us that we forget about those leading from behind. The idea of reverse mentoring gives you fresh thinking about the insights or experiences that you can offer your mentor.

* The art of losing things - it may feel like a disaster at the time, but all is not actually lost when something precious vanishes.Losing things - the props of your life - can force you to embrace change in a way that can be hugely positive.We define ourselves by what we buy. Losing things can be an opportunity to re-evaluate who we think we are.

* 7 habits to build your confidence
    Assess yourself
    Keep learning
    Develop your Willpower
    Talk about your positive experiences
     Tone down your worst thoughts
     Ditch thinking for doing
    Adopt good posture
   
* Dancing with the bogey man - there is nothing as pointless in this life as hatred, although there are, of course, times when that sour emotion hits us so Hard in the solar plexus that we are left with indigestion, which repeats and repeats until we are acid with poison. It is difficult to deal with such toxic emotions and we all wrestle with them. Use a mental process called " parking" . If a thought about someone or something makes me feel terribly distressed I park it behind my left shoulder. I am not saintly enough to sprinkle those dark thoughts with shiny peace dust and send them off with a blessing , but I am human enough to know I need to remove them from the immediate vicinity of my head.
