De-Cluttering My Life: A Gift and A Curse

I need to get rid of shit quick and fast.  After realizing how stress has altered my mood, my thinking and my look, I must take action immediately.  There is no wait it out and see what I can change, it’s time to change now.  I have readily assess a few things that I have created in my life that causes a friction in my daily activities.  It’s a gift and a curse in which I am well aware of.

I crave details, I crave information, I crave reasoning, I crave madness and chaos.  I feel like it’s a part of me to push my limits.  What I am referring to today it’s my crave of knowledge.  I hunt and follow the creators of information and the one’s who provide it.  I am talking about twitter.  As much as I follow quite a few people, YouTubers, bloggers, brands, businesses, social media sites, and many other random medium, I am also subscribed to their feed in which comes to me as a text message via SMS.  My phone constantly goes off each minute rallying numbers such as 36,000 text messages each month on my cell phone bill.  Ummm, yes people 36,000 texts and climbing, and yes I would be a dumb ass to not have unlimited text messages on my monthly plan.  But thinking about it, roughly 35,000 messages are incoming texts from twitter telling me the latest and great news and deals going around the world and in my city.  I crave information and being in the know it now and as soon as it arrives category, places and talks from my favorite YouTubers on when their new video is posted, or social media & tech news from @mashable, @techcrunch @pcworld, @engadget, @bhphotovideo, @wordpressdotcom and much more., and tweets about deals and job openings from top companies.

It’s actually a clever idea to use the service you are paying for for unlimited text messages and have it feed you information in real time without even going anywhere and as simply as checking incoming text messages, read and delete.  And if the tweet or information is vital or something to remember, simply just copy and paste in a notepad application for future reading.  So if you want to test this feature out, check out your twitter settings and turn on notifications on people you are following.  So for all the people so scared or don’t know what is a good reason to use twitter, this is the BEST way to use twitter.  Well it’s bad for me for I am too excessive but with this post and today’s mission is to cut my subscriptions down so I can focus more on my projects and how I am on my quest to greatest in the world by making my life more simpler and easily accessible.

If you ever want to learn some awesome tricks, you can always tweet me on twitter @rawmultimedia. 

So anyway, today I shall be un-following and un-subscribing away from people who don’t hold vital information I can’t simple take a few moment and just search for  down their time lines or their website to gain the information I may be seeking.  So I am going to attempt going down to say 20,000 text messages a month and see if my phone will ring that much less and I can focus on my work than worrying what new information or what is someone else tweeting about somewhere in the world, even if I would like to know just to know.  I need to mind my own damn business I guess. 😦 I am trying you all.

What can you de-clutter from your life today?  What did you think of my post?  What did you think of my very great tip?

I am quite obsessed with stats if you didn’t know.  It’s not about bragging, but more of a visual and paying close attention to change.  My blog is going to crack 1k today…It’s just something I witness only a few times so far this year, based a few great posts and tags I used in which makes my blog have some sort of spotlight in the world.  I am just happy to see my blog reaching to new audiences and hoping they join in and stay with me and chit-chat here.

Woot woot…

A Little Bit Stressed and Don’t Even Notice It

New York City

I have been so on edge for the last couple of days.  I believe it’s almost a week or more now.  I have been noticing some little tiny bumps on my forehead lately and I really couldn’t figure out why they are appearing.  I was showering, cleaning, feeling fresh when I leave outside and all, and definitely been eating healthy, so every time I looked in the mirror I was wondering what the hell is going on.

I know I have seen this little bumps before, but not sure what the source of its existence was from.  But after a week of thinking and breaking down all the options, and after a hectic weekend for trying to bring things together and organize as well as this stupid epic Hurricane Irene within New York City among others things, I decided I am stressed out.  I can almost admit to facts and when things are just not going right, but it a motivation killer.

I am not going to break down or disappear, for I have quite a few things on the line as of late and the pressure is definitely on.  Next to realizing this, I am now locked in at my  job to work 6 days weeks for 3 weeks, Monday to Saturday, and quite a few other responsibilities with my business are sitting on my lap.  I am not sure how I am going to pull this off.  I might go mad, I might go crazy, but one thing I am won’t do it give up or let the pressure break me down.  I got to play everything smart and wise for the next couple of days and create a game plan.

I know my stress relievers and I am preparing to use them.  Music, Movies, Boxing and Yoga shall be the go to stress reliever during this time.  Wish me luck.

Have things just started coming down on you?  When was the last time you were stressed?  Do you know how to handle your stress?
