Happiness Project : March

My March focus hit me just before I fell asleep last night. I was paging through Gretchen's book again, hoping that inspiration would strike. I thought about a "green" theme – green cleaning, green money, St. Patrick's day. I thought about a "play" theme – but that felt really forced. Spring Forward? Nope. One thing that I was sure of – I wanted to have a few one & done TASKS on my list this month. As any (all) of my friends can attest to, I'm an overachiever when it comes to self-improvement…so I wasn't sure that adding more concepts to my plate would make me happier. It would make me happy to cross some nagging tasks off of my to-do list. Somehow, out of all of that, I landed on a focus…

Here's what's on my list this month:

Clean & organize the pots & pans cabinet – I have this normal depth + abnormal length pots & pans cabinet. Confession – I have no idea what resides at the end of it. Everything that I use regularly is jumbled at the front. Clearly, there's room to simplify (and add to the garage sale pile that is amassing in the family room). 

Move all bills to my bank's bill pay service – After all of the splitting of accounts & such that comes along with divorce, I never got things really set up for myself. The result? A complicated system of trying to remember when/what/where bills are that (frankly) results in stress & late fees.

Walk more – This bit of exercise isn't hard. I need to make it a point to walk more. Simple.

Consolidate email – I have 4 email accounts (not including work) that I attempt to maintain. It's cumbersome. I'll be consolidating & simplifying. I may even just move everything to gmail. 

That's it for now. A simple list. 🙂
