Today dd2 is back to her piano, after many weeks break. She went full force on Jay Chou's pieces
好好听! Like a mini concert.
He's so talented. How to write such beautiful pieces 百听不厌

Decluttering makes me happy. I just offloaded a full boot of barang barang at salvation army. Wow, very therapeutic

Decluttering tips http://www.straitstimes.com/videos/lear ... 8213289001

Feeling lethargic. I think I have done too much packing (by my standard) the last few days. Now maybe 40% done with my packing.
Still have another 60% to chiong arh And those are just kids' school stuff.

I have even more to pack if include their story books and magazines. And my 3 years worth of credit card statements and all sort of letters to sort through either to file or discard. Procrastination!

Went to my parents' house to whine just now. Told them maybe I will be packing till next year
No sympathy from my parents. They know my pattern 做两天停三天

For now, I really need at least 2 days break to recuperate

Dug out my post from last October.
I finally finished sorting through 3 years worth of statements and letters. Actually more than 3 years. I found statements/letters dated as far back as beginning of 2013. Wah I don't think I can complain about my kids' messiness, abit 心虚 now leh

Next is to do filing. And figure out what to do with their magazines and storybooks

I use plastic protective sheets for the filing of cc statement every month, which is kept in an arch file.
1 sheet for each cc bank. Each sheet holds Jan to Dec of a year.
Come Jan of the new year, I will throw out the preceding year Jan to Dec cc statements in 1 plastic sheet.
Cc statements sorted by bank in the sheets also made reference easy when necessary.

Why not subscribe to e-magazine?

We have Popular Science and Times subscriptions on hard copy.
The boys and hubby are reading them.
I have managed to coach them into leaving these at the newspaper pile once everyone has read the magazine.
I only bag the newspaper and other paper products once a week to dump at the recycling bin at our estate.
The holding area for read newspapers/magazine is not large, hence must be cleared each week, more reason not to be lazy or forget to do.

dh is the one who files n pay all the bills . i thn he keeps for less than or longest one yr statement only.i have enuff admin work in offc, so dun like to do admin work at home.

I have not been receiving the hard copy credit card statements for few years till recently when I want to take a look, so requested for hard copy for few now. Can go online to check but always ended up never check. Now with hardcopy, I will check and throw after looking at it except one for reference. Dividend statement/bank statement, I opened the mail, see and throw immediately also as all this can be seen online. Tel/SP bills I will keep for a while.

Donating to the Salvation Army is one way to try to expiate one's sins.

Hmm... interesting idea, never occur to me before recycling can purge sins

To accumulate good merits, I would think 时时心存善念, 多积口德 are easily achievable and also no need monetary, anyone can do it.

Once a person has 善念 will also naturally become more 豁达
纠结一件事或讨厌一个人都需要花力气。又累又不值呀

And with 善念 undesirable and negative 情绪 like 妒嫉狠 or own self torture own self kind of emotions will automatically leave one alone. Then naturally one can become a much happier person and that itself is already a reward to oneself.

My simplistic way of thinking lah

Good idea!
I adopted your idea and use a big clip for credit card statements. 1 clip 1 bank
