Week 4: I'm a Slacker!

So it's Week 4 of the Spring Cure, and I'm not exactly as gung-ho as last time. BUT I think the improvements I made last time (and in the time between then and now), really held strong. Plus, once you get rid of many years worth of stuff, you don't (or I don't) re-aquire that much that quickly.

So the Week 4 tasks are centered around the Living Room, and also how much color and softness you need to add or subtract in your home.

More specifically:

1. Clean the living room and related closets
2. De-clutter all books and media (and I'm including photographs, too - yikes!)
3. Cancel 75% of your catalogs
4. Empty your Outbox
5. Consider what you need to increase/decrease color in each room.
6. Consider what you need to increase/decrease softness in each room.
7. Cook three meals at home.

I'm definitely a slacker though because I haven't made a ton of plans for my living room. It's hard because there isn't too much cleaning and de-cluttering to be done (some, but not much) and all improvements that I'd like to make require $ which I so do not have right now. But I'll work on it, and post some plans soon.

Also, I shouldn't be posting this during the day while I'm at work, but it's getting on my last nerve right now and I needed a break. And that's all I'll say about that. Except that sometimes I just wish I could take out a bunch of student loans to live off of and quit work to go get my MPPA. Wouldn't that be nice?

Determining the softness and colour balance in the living room is a lot of fun...so do that for sure. Clearing out photographs can be a huge job, for some, and might better be tackled all on its own. Depends how many you have. Good luck with the work thing. Everyone seems to go a little crazy with Spring Fever.
