Analysis of 21 Days

When I started my journey into minimalism, I took a lot of the steps out of order (steps were suggested over a 21-day period). Most of this is because I had a clear mission in front of me related to my things. It started as a book closet and blossomed into other rooms and emotional areas. That was cool and got other people involved on its tail end.

At the same time, I noticed that Polli, being the person he is, tried to do those steps in order. As such, I decided as he was going through I would see which items I had completed, which ones I had not, and what needed to be done for me to complete them.

Well, here's what I got:

• day 1: done
• day 2: done
• day 3: done (awkwardly, but done)
• day 4: done (again, awkwardly, but done)
• day 5: done (ab...)
• day 6: done (ab...)
• day 7: done-ish
• day 8: done
• day 9: doing
• day 10: done
• day 11: done!
• day 12: done!... with vigor
• day 13: done/na
• day 14: not done
• day 15: done!
• day 16: done mostly
• day 17: done/na.
• day 18: done/na.
• day 19: not done
• day 20: doing
• day 21: done and doing

I made a bunch of funny, humorous, insightful notes about each of the goals, but since I can't make sub-points to these bullets, I'm listing them as separate things. For fun, try to match them up.

• list of things i have and how much of those i need
• write down fears (already journaled, actually, so summarize)
• i did it and told some of my friends about it, but this was done solo
• make a list of beliefs
• list some growth items (must-list)
• more content with every passing day and loving it
• i hate selling things, so i donated it all
• i need a windows-based computer for some of the data; that is in the 6-month budget
• i got all of the bills i can get completely paperless
• I LOVE NOT HAVING CABLE. EXTRA $60 EVERY MONTH IS AWESOME
• i'm a gamer [limited gameplay, however]
• i listen to music too much to not have speakers lol
• i already got rid of most of the electronics i don't need, so i'll shed things organically
• i don't own a car <3

• robert kiyosaki impacted me most here years ago, so i don't want to own a house
• BLINDSIDED HERE, but not completely. i should have known.
