I’ve really got to control my impulse buying and save my money for more
important things. My impulse buying usually consists of sketch pads
(because I love to draw), art materials, notebooks (can’t seem to
resist designer notebooks) and random cute stuff (boohoo too tempting).
Before, I had trouble making ends meet because aside from my impulse
spending, I have to pay my car monthly dues. I’m usually left with
little or nothing else to save. Luckily though, I’ve been granted a
very significant raise. Well from my initial calculations, with my car
monthly and gas expenses accounted for, if I minimize unnecessary
shopping trips, I’ll be able to save enough per month and have enough
money to buy a new phone and laptop by october. Yay that’s only a month
from now. I have already marked it on my planner and I’m pretty
excited. As of now, I’m still on the right track.

this is a repost from my 43 things life list site:
I can’t do much when there is a lot of clutter around me. I am not a slob, I usually like to keep things neat but sometimes when things get really busy and hectic, I don’t have enough time to keep everything in it’s proper place.
First thing on my list will be my work desk at home, right now all my magazines are dumped on top of it, there’s a no-nonsense pile of file folders and books on one corner.
Second will be my wardrobe closet. It’s stuffed with clothes and some of those I haven’t worn in months. I think I have to find time to sort through them and just keep the stuff that I still use and donate the others to a charity.
Third will be the clutter in my mind. I have so many hangups from disappointments in the past. I can’t go on living a new life when I’m still looking back. I have to identify these “mind clutter” and get rid of them permanently!
repost from my 43 things life list site:
I am constantly under stress but I try not to show other people
especially my workmates, how stressed I really am. I don’t panic or I
don’t have uncontrollable outbursts either. But I do get burned out.
When I’m burned out, I tend to go into a depressed state and I have
trouble getting enough sleep at night. Stress really is very bad for
the health. That’s why I’m putting it in my life list. Now I plan to do
this by reading up on project management skills so that I’ll be able to
delegate project priorities efficiently. I also have to improve my time
management skill. I have to have a set goal of things to do for the day
at the office so that I’ll know that I am accomplishing things and not
stress about things I still need to do for the next day when I get
home. Hopefully, with these in mind, I’ll be able to live stress free.
"i love my job."
Don’t get me wrong, I really do love my job. I am an interior designer and my job entails really good coordination and planning skills plus the innate ability to conceptualize good and functional designs. My job can be very demanding sometimes and we are required to work beyond normal hours. It can also be very stressful and I’m more prone to burnouts. Satisfaction from my job takes a lot of weeks or months before it can be attained. I jotted this on my life list so that I can find satisfaction in the little things that I do with my job, by doing this I can feel fulfilled. Hopefully when I stay happy and satisfied, I’ll be more at ease and I’ll be more passionate with each project assigned to me. Less stress and less burnouts.
I've recently signed up on 43 things and listed my life goals as of the moment. Here's my profile. Each day I will write an entry about each goal explaining why I want to achieve it and how I plan to do it. By the end of the month or the year, hopefully I've checked off some items on my list. Well that's the plan anyway. Wish me luck!
