About that New Year's resolution...
I wanted to clean or throw out something in every room of my place. As expected, I am hopelessly behind on this, to the point where one might wonder whether I'm doing the resolution at all. BUT!!! I'm going to declare it still in place, because it's working as a sorta kinda motivation to do stuff.
Because I have done stuff because of it, such that I actually notice the difference. Take my office: the bookshelves no longer have two rows of boxes in front of them, three boxes high. They have 3/4 of a row, one box high, in front of them now. And there are empty spots on the rug in other places of the room!
One thing that I did notice about all this: I've been collecting all the notebooks I have into one place, and the stack is about two feet high... and still growing. Um. I think I'll declare a moratorium on buying new notebooks. Just for a little while, though -- like the next three to five years....
