MY ORGANIZED KINGDOM

17 days ago

Everyday, there is bound to be the somewhat lazy and stressful cycle of arranging and scattering our rooms. This is worst with those who have children as they tend t shout, give orders and ultimately flog just to get their message across. I wonder how the married couple tend to manage children. I can not manage my younger cousins at home talk more of my own children and wife at the same time (when I get married). Tsk, that will be a drag yaknow. Hehe.

I am not yet married, but my room at times use to be as scattered as the hair of a female that just loosed her braids. No offense . Haha. At times, it is more scattered than that. This is due to I am always at the go. Sometimes, I will cook and leave the pot there. Washing is one of the hardest things there is for me, so the pile of clothes is like a pile of bodies from a zombie apocalypse movie when a nuclear bomb is launched at the zombies. I do not want to talk about my bed and floor.

Though I have first hand information on the importance of keeping the house clean and tidy, most of the times, I am always busy to even make food for myself. One thing I do not fail to do is to keep the rest room clean though. No matter how busy I tend to be, I always tend to take care of the restroom.

The only time I do have chance to arrange my room is during weekends. I use to be free by then. However, instead of hanging out with some of my friends on a Saturday, I prefer to do the laundry, do the dishes, arrange the bed, and mop the floors. My neighbors at times usually think I am expecting a visitor. Hehe. Life of a bachelor. Haha.

After a while, I begin to think of it, doing all these things by weekend is actually very stressful. Sometimes, I will not have plates to eat during the wee which will make me spend more money on eateries when I have foodstuffs to cook and save more money. I calculated my spendings for a month and realized that it was way more bigger compared to if I cooked at home. I could save a lot of money yaknow. I eat morning, afternoon and night outside. It hit differently to see how much I am wasting because I was lazy to cook. This was enough triggering I needed to realize that I had to organize my life. Haha. In this Tinubu regime, I was spending a lot on food. More than some peoples salary on food alone.

After this realization, what I did was to start planning my personal life. I always thought that planning is for work, making schedules for work, meeting and outings but this made me realize that my personal life needs a lot of planning and very short term goals setting.

Every week, I make a plan of how I will do my things. I plan on what to wear for the week, I plan on how to manage my time throughout the week so that I will have enough time for my self. Instead of spending time to talk to some colleagues at work, I'd rather ditch them and go straight to the house to make myself some food. When I was sure that my weekly plans was good to go, I expanded it to make a daily plan.

Each day when I wake up, I will make sure that I do a daily plan of what I must do. I also started including house policy to my lifestyle and many other things. Breaking these policies will result in a penalty which I must serve or I will starve my self intentionally or face another penalty depending on the policy I broke.

Everyday, I began to make plans of sleeping early and waking up very early so as to arrange my bed, clean the house, make myself food and do other minor things like washing the clothes I used the previous day. I tried to follow this routine. Though at the begining, it was not easy as I always felt very lazy to do these things but with time, I go used to it and I am actually enjoying it ya'know. With this, I am more organized now and I feel like my life is now on the right track. Hehe

I also learnt to always immediately replace any thing I used. If I finish applying a body lotion, I will keep it at the exact spot it was, I always wash dishes after myself. These made me very organized and reduce the odour coming out of my kitchen from unclean plates. Hehe.

The main trigger to organizing my life is the amount of money I spent on eating outside. However, after I made this realization, I began to organize my life and things became easier and better for me.
