So I think I have some more stuff worked out with how I want things to flow with my Sharings.
With respect to Welcome Changes Newsletter, I have chose to do a monthly newsletter using a “green publishing” platform. I’ll send out weekly reminders for the radio shows to the newsletter, and any other time sensitive material in short emails. I’ll be scheduling as many of these as I can, so I can organize my days the way I want rather than having the broadcasts dictate my days. 🙂
I used to add a “What’s New” to each weekly broadcast, which is why I never pre-scheduled them, but I think it will be much easier to do my periodical “what’s up” shares here instead.
These shifts feel more organized, and that’s what I’ve been asking for! Every day I’ve been affirming that “Each day I am just a little bit more organized.”
That affirmation has been working! I’ve got a recycling routine in place. I have a little basket at the top of the stairs that I put the recycling in. I have a recycling station in the storage room in the basement. Every Thursday a service comes and picks up our recycling.
I have a composting bucket under my sink. Yesterday I picked up some inserts for it, so I can take it out to my compost bin cleanly, and the inserts are biodegradable too.
I learned that you need equal parts of “brown matter” along with the “green matter”. The green matter is things like my vegetable scraps. Brown matter is things like dry leaves, and ripped up paper counts! So I’ve been shredding my office paper and such, and keeping it in a bin with the recycling to use each time I take my scraps out.
I’ve been playing with menu planning a bit. I’m still practicing with this one, but I am getting better. I bought the “green bags” so my veggies last longer in the fridge. I’d throw the old veggies into the compost, and I felt better about that, but that’s still waste even if I’m not sending it to the dump.
I’m looking forward to Summer so I can put the clothes out on the line again. I’m also looking forward to starting a little garden too. Oh! I suppose I should get the pumpkin and squash seeds I saved started! I think I’ll do that with my son this week. I’m going to buy the plants this year for the tomatoes and peppers though. Maybe I’ll have a row of carrots too.
I haven’t quite mastered the clean desk yet, though it is better!
Got organizational tips? Feel free to comment with them! I’d love to hear what you do that supports you to stay in the flow!
Dream BIG!
