I thought this was a cute idea and have been wanting to do this for the right guy for a while. Finally I found the right guy to do it for. We are engaged and I think the timing is perfect now because we both know what we want in life and know it will be with each other.

How to Stop Procrastination
At one point or another, we’ve all said that one phrase: “I’ll do it later.” Really? Because after this, a few hours pass, maybe a day or two and even weeks pass before you get to do that one little thing “later.” Does that sound familiar? Well, it's this thing all of us have come to know which is commonly called procrastination. Procrastination is a term to describe the action of delaying or postponing something. Sound familiar, right? While this very simple concept can be seen as a solvable cause, it can literally break or make anything happen. To doing simple house chores to doing your homework last minute, to even writing this article after days of sleeping on it, procrastination can have major effects on your life. In my own life procrastination has hurt many aspects of it including my social life and academic performance in school but that's a topic for another article. Anywho, let's dive into the world of “doing everything at the last minute because we feel like it” from the origins of the probable signs of procrastination, how to manage it, overcome it and to prevent it from happening again. So let's start… later. I’m kidding… a little.

Spring Cleaning
Why do we spend so much time obsessively cleaning? We clean our homes, cars, offices, boats, etc. We’ve even dedicated an entire season to it – spring cleaning. In case you’re unaware, allegedly March 19-25 is national cleaning week; who knew there was a national cleaning week!? As much as I dislike cleaning, I must admit there is something cathartic about it — although if I’m totally being honest, it's just my way to justify buying more stuff.

What I Learned from the Minimalism Challenge
So first up, what is the minimalism challenge? Well basically, The Minimalists Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus posted the idea on their website in the spirit of “new year clear out.” The idea is that on the 1st of January, you get rid of one thing, on the 2nd, you get rid of two things, all the way up to getting rid of 31 things on the 31st. You can get a friend and see who finishes first, who gets rid of the most stuff, or you can just keep going through February, March etc. until you reach a natural end. I reversed mine because I’m a rebel and needed to see fast changes. It worked for me because I was so ready to clear stuff out, but if you don’t even know where to start, it’s probably not for you. I completed the challenge over the whole of January, getting rid of over 500 things, and here is what I learned.

It's basically going to be the only item I own, so I'm going all in! On the weekends I'll let my son Jarret sleep in my bed and I'll use an air mattress. That way he can associate the best sleep of his formative years with me!
