Still working on a new goal for this lifestream category/goalstream. I think 2010 should be about income generation, & at least I am listening to the $12 Gala Darling ‘Blogging 101′ podcast for direction & inspiration. Kel & I hope to have many scheming brainstorming sessions while driving to Florida. I want to start the new year off right in our sweet new office… To be completed shortly after we return.

1. Set a timer. 15 minutes. 3:18am.
2. Check paperwork. Bills? Notices? Unopened mail? Sort, pay, and share. |
   
   Finally canceled Geico this week. Also paid the rent. Also received my replacement stolen credit card and paid the rent. Big week. Now to pay the gas bill.
   
3. Check email inbox for ’starred’ emails of due bills. Pay and un’star’. Document. Paid some Discover:
   
4. Go through receipts. Email photos of receipts with dollar amounts in heading. Add shared expenses to daytum account. Added the gas bill, dinner and drinks from Kerri’s birthday drafthouse occasion, and a Bread Basket, Netflix, and the Drafthouse ticket:
   
   Also added the rent & sushi with my sibs (check split in half) and another drafthouse ticket:
   
   
5. Check balances at Chase twice, Citi, Discover, student loans. Make appropriate payments, screen shot often.
   Check and check.
6. Check calendar for upcoming due dates or milestones.

Mood: anxiety. I feel like I rushed through this hygiene, but I feel much better starting on our trip knowing where I stand. I organized my calendar & have a ton of stuff to do Monday morning when vacation is over, but I am so happy I took care of this today and not that Sunday night!
