The 100 items method

It had been an intense weekend of studying music therapy via Zoom, sitting in front of the screen, taking notes, exploring the murky depths of my psyche, eating, drinking coffee, smoking CBD, spending the nights putting the lessons into practice, trying to convince my bedroom studio to work properly.

Monday I was exhausted. Burnout and depression were kicking back into gear. My place was a mess, notes, instruments, food and dirty dishes, mugs, cables, tissue papers, books, blankets, pillows, clothes piling up everywhere I tried to set my foot.

Something had to be done.

And I did, despite this dense cloud of dark energy following me around, the marrow in my bones being replaced by molten lead and my joints hurting with every move from wounds and cuts that weren’t there.

Since the nineties I have a strong interest in the art and science of Feng Shui. I know that my chaotic creative mind needs a tidy place to live in, while my chaotic creative mind isn’t capable to make the body carry out the necessary actions.

Enter the 100 items method.

I don’t know where I got the idea, because I used it way before I heard about habits, Kaizen, mindfulness and self help in general.

I know it’s not original, but it works for me.
