Out With the Clutter and In With the Good Chi- Post Script

April 19, 2013 John Uncategorized No comments

A quick note about the problems with our recent Chi For Yourself postings on Blog Talk Radio. We received this note from BTR and it further explains an earlier mention on this site about the “glitches”:..

Dear Valued BlogTalkRadio Host,

In recent days, your BlogTalkRadio show may have been adversely affected by technical difficulties with the BlogTalkRadio website. It appears that during prime time hours (our busiest on the network), BTR suffered a series of “Distributed Denial of Service” attacks. Unfortunately, DDOS attacks on prominent websites, banks, and government institutions have become quite common. In recent weeks and months, sites such as Amazon, Facebook, and the Washington Post, among others, were hit by DDOS attacks, resulting in temporary outages.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these attacks may have caused you and your listeners. Rest assured that our technical, security and operations teams are working around the clock to ensure that our network, and your shows, remain safe from unwanted hackers and intruders.

Yours Truly,

Alan Levy

CEO, BlogTalkRadio

Article: Out With the Clutter and In With the Good Chi- Post Script

Just wanted to add a little encouragement for you on this final day of declutter posting. Once you have gained the upper hand on your ‘stuff’ you have to be aware of clutter creeping back into your life. Like so many things it’s easier to do if done on a regular basis.

Have a regular system. Look at how you do things and how the junk stacks up. In fact, think about individual systems for most everything, email, laundry and more. Write down the system in steps and follow as best you can. Don’t fall into the do-it-tomorrow mindset. You’ll keep the hassle to a manageable level if you deal with things right away. Remember: ditch it, donate it, or designate an area for it.

Out With the Clutter and In With The Good Chi- Day 2

April 17, 2013 John Uncategorized No comments

You spend a lot of your time at home, so clutter is not something you want in your space. Think about keeping things simple. If you weave back and forth as you step carefully through the rooms you’ll want to start the declutter there, if only for safety’s sake! Clear out anything that has made a home on the floor. You can donate usable stuff, or just throw it away. After taking care of the floor move to the tabletops and shelves. Put things in piles and be honest about what you need or don’t need. You can keep things, donate them, or throw them out. But a word of advice- don’t move from room to room. Pick a room and work it until finished. Organize the things you do keep and see if you can put them all where they won’t be seen.

It’s tempting to pack your stuff into the closet. Organize the closets, even if they won’t be seen. Closet stuff is often a good collection of things that you’ll donate. If you do that make sure that you clean them. And make sure your “keepers” deserve that label and get used often. Be honest about your clothes. If you haven’t worn it for some time, send it packing.

A word about drawers. They can collect a lot of those little things that you REALLY don’t need. Empty them and again sort by what you’ll keep and what you’ll hang on to.

Gonna have to wrap things up. The plumbers just left after fixing a leak in the laundry room. A whole ‘nother cleaning job to be done. More on clutter later in this space.
