Do it as you go

Posted on by philipdodson

Today’s blog is a simple life tip.

Deal with things as you go along.

I decided to sort out 20 years of home filing today.

I spent hours recycling, then an hour with the shredder, then when that kept over heating, the sensitive stuff had to go one page at a time onto the bbq.

Three bank accounts, 5 different utility bills, phone bills, council tax statements, pensions, ISAs and so on, for 20 years.

Never again.

Open the post, decide to keep or recycle/shred. Repeat everytime post arrives. Once every 6 months clear the file and repeat.

Amazing at any age you keep learning new lessons.

Just keep the absolute minimum of anything.

When the petrol is being tipped on the fire

Posted on by philipdodson

There are situations in life when it is best to just step away.

When both sides have lost composure, lost their sense of perspective, when anger has come to the situation.

It is best to walk away, otherwise, we end up just pouring petrol on the flames and neither side wins and everyone loses.

Step back and allow the flames to subside.
