Today has been another session of clearing out the clutter, I have spent a few hours today going under the beds in the back of the cupboards, through boxes and book cases. And I have a few bins full of stuff that’s either broken or useless I have repositioned some items from the rooms in to the basement out the way, I have a mound of items to just be given to charity and I have a list of items being sold on eBay. Why do we keep all these items lying around with no use in our homes and personal spaces? Some of junk I’m selling and giving to charity is always getting in the way or taking up space in my cupboards, but it’s all been there for months and years. It feels good to just have a de-clutter, makes you appreciate the things you keep, why hold on to an item with no use when it can be given to someone who may benefit from it. Old clothing that isn’t worn or doesn’t fit, books that I have read, books on topics which I could easily find the information online. DVD...

Instead of setting an alarm for different times, set your alarm clock for the same time every single day. Whether you are on a holiday or day off, if it’s the weekend or if you’re needed at work, pick a time that will be most suitable for all instances.  My chosen time is 7am every day as with this time I have enough time to get to work, it’s not excessively early.  On days where I’m not needed at work till 11am I can still wake up, this time walk across the room and set the alarm for another hour if needed. Just gets in the habit of waking up at that time even if it isn’t needed. Days off waking up at 7am I have more time in the day to do things and if I go to sleep around 11pm I still have a full 8 hours sleep. The same time everyday setting the alarm is growing the habit and I know that I will be awake at that time so I cannot need to plan too far in advance as I have enough time when I get up at 7am.

Over a month without video games This is my update after 39 days putting my Xbox away, what have I learnt so far, I think the main thing is the fact I’m not really concerned about games at the moment, not to say my life is more interesting or I have started a new hobbies, just in conversation about video games or adverts of new games that have come out. I am not really that interested, I am still not interested in getting my Xbox out just yet and I haven’t downloaded any games for my smart phone. I am glad I deleted the aps of my phone with the games as they were simple and addictive, where you spend an hour or so trying to get to the next level and then want to get to the next level The last month or so has been odd, I know I haven’t played computer games but I can’t think what I’ve done to replace them , perhaps it’s an extra 30 minutes watching  YouTube more, or another 30 mines here and there to fill the time. Being the wintery months I even didn’t go to the gym m...

7 Days without my Xbox 360 a week without video games  Well it’s been a week since my original post about giving up my Xbox 360 for 30 days. And for you awesome souls here is my 1 week update after not playing my Xbox for 1 week, note I didn’t say video games. The first day was simply spent putting the Xbox away and declaring to my gaming friends I was going to spend some time away from the Video gaming lifestyle.  So started pretty easy, but then I noticed I was spending up to an hour a day playing games on my smart phone, so I quit my Xbox 360 gaming but only to shift more of my time on to my smart phone playing the flash games on there. Smart phone game addiction, the problem with these games is your always trying to aim for the next perk or the next achievement. I was playing a temple runner game long in to the night my hands aching and my eyes tired and sore. I was playing the game over and over trying to beat my previous score. Here is a tip check how long...

Cutting down on Facebook time  How to decrease time spent viewing Facebook I think I have the compulsion to check Facebook every 20 minutes, I put up a post on the wall then check over and over to see if there is any comments or likes, I check almost once an hour to see if I’ve missed anything, I check the online part to see who I can chat with over and over all day long. When I am not at my computer I check it on my phone, I wake up first thing in the morning and check Facebook to see if anything has been posted overnight, or I check the Facebook and see if I missed anything or any comments on previous posts that I found amusing. Why do I check this so much? I would say off all the time I spend looking at Facebook I could condense the whole lot in to 1 look at the end of the day or 1 look at the start of the day, the continuousness update and news feed to other peoples life I don’t really need to check it that much So I’m not quitting Facebook but I am going to c...
