In reply to One (blonde) thing for dj..., posted by Racer on October 25, 1999, at 3:21:30
If there is one thing in the world I will admit to being a self-taught expert at is, how to stay clean and organized with the least amount of effort.
I've been studying this (non stop scanning) for at least 15 years now. And I've learnt, no one gets off free (except very rich people); Generally everyone cleans up after themselves, and if they are lucky, only after themselves.
Sometimes married men get away with it, or seem to; but then, when you talk to their wives, they are usually angry and bitter about it, and then proceed (not very often consciously) to make her husband's life miserable in other ways. (very simplistic, I know).
I also make tons of lists like racer. I was going to mention it before but I thought it would be too much for you at this point dj. Remember, this is a process. I started with the 10 minute timer. For about a 6 months period I did not enjoy doing it at all, it was a struggle. I always tried to do it as soon as I came in from a day's work (get it over with). After 6 months, it started to become easy... and now (3 years later) dj, I enjoy cleaning. It has become a soothing ritual. At the beginning of the beginning of organizing your entire life, start very small and reward yourself for accomplishing your goal. 10 minutes a day, it will make a big difference! and when that buzzer goes off (kind of sounds like you won a prize), you don't have to think about cleaning for another 24 hours. Mind you, becoming aware of your day to day habits will help also. Let it all happen almost naturally.Now if you can teach me some tricks to eating regularly and well, please do.
If you get through your studies (and your depression), I'm sure you could create some kind of job that you find interesting and enjoy. A job where you can use your best gifts, plus your computer skills. Janice.
