De-Clutterifying My Life

Oh my I can't stand the clutter. This has to be step 2 in some program, with step 1 being "admitting your life is cluttered." To get there from here I started thinking about what I'm involved in and why. How do these activities fit in with my goals? Do I even have any goals? Well, I don't really have a list of goals yet. But if I did the first one would be "clear some space so you can begin thinking of goals."

Last month I decided to stop selling cards and crafts on ebay. It was a big decision for me because I was pouring a ton of time & energy into it. It started out fun but then it got hard. And I hate quitting something when it gets hard so I kept plugging away. That is, until I realized that I had no aspiration to take this any further than a simple hobby done in my spare time. I had no plan to get rich, not interested in getting my work published, and it had become more stressful than fun. I was neglecting my husband, my house, my own photo albums, my family & friends, my spiritual life, etc. It was like working a really sucky job and not getting paid for it, any benefits, or even a lousy 'thank you'. The signs were all there. So I kicked it to the curb, Adam Vinatieri style.

This is all the pilot for a new show called "What other useless things can I eliminate."
