One of the many perks of incorporating simplicity and leading an uncluttered life is that when Chinese New Year comes around the corner, there is no sudden hectic rush to "spring clean". I've also become less compelled to use 'purge' — suggesting a mega overhaul — and instead use 'de-clutter'. So today, I was de-cluttering my room, working on tasks in my Room domain.
Goals:
1. Have a clean and aesthetic place to live, work, & play in
2. Every item in the room has a space where it belongs
For the tasks, I was cleaning, organizing, and updating the room. I "recced" the room to see what needed work done, and today's focus was more on my desk drawers. Another Next-Action was also to schedule a bi-monthly review of the living space, which would be on a Sunday. Maintenance and cleaning will still happen as and when needed.
The thing is the Room domain might be a little large, and I've worked on it for quite a long time prior to our Better Selves project, albeit not as structured as now. I know what the colour scheme of the room is. A lot of systems had also been put in place. I guess for future consideration: short-term wise, I'm thinking of mini-projects to enhance my living space; long-term wise, I want to expand this domain to include the whole house: make it a better space for my family, help paying utilities, etc.
