Starting tomorrow, I will be getting out of bed at 6am. I have moved the alarm clock to the living room so that I can walk to it. This is 11:10pm, so I will stop writing so that I can sleep for at least six and half hours before waking up again. Wish me luck!

Getting up early
Goal for the week/month: DeClutter
I just want to be more organized, and have a cleaner look. I am not bad at all, but things could be better.
I have decided to make decluttering my goal for this week and this month. I would like to have a paperless desk at home and at work. Being in accounting (“paperful” accounting) wont make it easy. But I will do all I can to achieve this goal. I have read quite a bit today to know where to start. (Well, I knew some from reading a bit of Getting Things Done, but I never implemented any of it, except the 2 minute question.)
I have archived all my email at gmail and yahoo. I will do the same at work tomorrow. I will then process any email that comes in after this so that I have a clean inbox each day.
I will put all my paper in one pile and work my way down. I need space. I will report on how this goes each day. I have already done this at home. By the end of the week, I will go through my mail/bills and either file each paper away or get rid of it. I will shoot for the same at work. More like 2 weeks at work.
