When I first started the monthly breakdown, Social Networking was assigned to the month of February. After a year of Simplifying, I was able to combine Social Networks and “Friends and Family” into one month, January. So I had February free. I decided to assign a new topic, Appearance, to February. As I’ve mentioned before, while there is a month assigned to a topic, I really spread each topic across the year, but do more of the “heavy lifting” and re-evaluating in the assigned month.
So for Appearance, the monthly breakdown is actually to go through my closet. I look at what I have, what I should get rid of, what I should replace, and what I need to add.
- Jan: Underwear and socks
- Feb: Turtlenecks
- Mar: Shoes
- Apr: T-shirts
- May: Shorts and capris
- Jun: Swimsuits
- Jul: “Nice” clothes
- Aug: Leggings and skirts
- Sep: Sweatshirts
- Oct: Jammies
- Nov: Pants
- Dec: Jeans
In the future, I think February will be the month where I really do some self-care in regards to my appearance. A haircut, a facial, whatever it is I feel like. But this year, I’m spending any extra time at the gym, not the spa!
