Accomplished so far
Unfollow and unfriend. I do this regularly, but I took some time to go through my timeline and unfollow people who don’t post what I deemed to be relevant or interesting information. On Facebook, I unfriended people I haven’t spoken to in years, though I had already done this recently. I also hid some people I remain friends with from my news feed so that I don’t regularly see their negative or excessive posts.
Streamline your reading list. This one was easy because I haven’t been doing much reading outside of work. I find that I do so much reading during the day that I don’t want to spend more time on that activity. Perhaps I’ll do more reading for pleasure during the winter.
Turn off notifications. I had already turned off Facebook notifications, but I also stopped Instagram and Twitter alerts on my phone. I am keeping Gmail notifications on my main account for now because I sometimes need to answer emails quickly.
Clean out your closet. This item has been in progress since the move to Chicago. I donated and sold a bunch of clothes during the packing process. In the past two weeks, I’ve also sold some clothing items on eBay and have a couple more listed. I plan to list at least three more items, though my closet is looking pretty lean.
That’s four down, 26 to go!
