I turn to Zen­Hab­its once again for this week’s post on Organize-Your-Life 101. This is some­thing that I am try­ing to use for my own life. Yes, I have become quite Obses­sive Com­pul­sive about so many things in my life. I think it comes from know­ing that I do not have any­one to turn to and nobody will clean up after me.

Here is Zen­Hab­its’ post on cre­at­ing sim­ple systems:

The key to cre­at­ing calm and sim­plic­ity in your life is cre­at­ing sim­ple sys­tems, instead of hap­haz­ard sys­tems of chaos that form nat­u­rally when we don’t give thought to these things.

Got this idea of recap­ping posts from ZenHabits.

This is a sum­mary of the best Finan­cial tips ever printed in Ang Peregrino.

ZenHab​its​.Net has a lot of arti­cles that helps peo­ple improve their finan­cial sit­u­a­tion. Here’s one that gives ways to trick your­self, to get around obsta­cles, and to boost your accounts, with­out it hurt­ing. I have cho­sen the ones most rel­e­vant to me. I have also added my own notes.

Many of you will agree with me that los­ing your wal­let is like los­ing half of your life. Well, it was like that was sev­eral years ago. After that, it was the filo­fax that made you feel you lost half of your life if you lost it. I remem­ber that story in the Ate­neo of Kris Aquino los­ing her filo­fax and (almost) every­one know­ing her show­biz secrets. Today, you feel like you lost half of your life when you lose your cell phone. Or your laptop.

I am repost­ing this arti­cle by Rick Broida of Life​hacker​.Com. I have done the sug­ges­tions here myself and have found these to be very help­ful in my con­tin­u­ing quest to unclut­ter my life. As in all things, use the prin­ci­ple of TANTUM QUANTUM (or what­ever is help­ful) to decide which ones you will use in the list below.
