I’ve been following a number of blogs on my early morning feed program for a while now, and just recently I added Jason DeFillippo’s blog to my list, for no other reason that his ambitious life change.
So I’ve been following for what is apparently the past 17 days now, and enjoying the glimpse of someone else’s personal purge. But when I got up this morning and read my morning ‘news’, I found myself undergoing a little life change of my own.
Jason’s post from today, combined with some really great advice from Merlin Mann, has jump started me into realising that while I spent a weekend just recently ‘tidying’ my home office, all I was really doing was storing useless things in boxes in the cupboad and not really throwing out anything more than a few papers. Kind of makes me feel pretty lousy. And yes, I have a number of telephone cables, and no use for them. I also have a non-working docking hub thing, and an external USB CD-RW/DVD-ROM player. Yeah, go figure.
So I got online and found a local charity that would be happy to take some of my old stuff and turn it into useful gifts for abused children and the elderly. I’ll be sorting out around five boxes this weekend and giving most of it to them.
And I got online and found Robert Ullrey’s amazing podcast accompaniments to the coolrunning.com Couch to 5k program. And tonight, for the first time in a long time, I got off the couch and, podcast in my ears, I went running.
So for tonight, my legs hurt and I’m worn out, but I’m feeling great.
