There's over 160 "careers" on this list.
What do we say about people who have had over 160 "careers" in 50 years? ;-)
I really don't think you can call any of those "a career"... Maybe being a model, as that she has been through all these years. 

Now... are all of these "careers"?

Firstly, are superheroines "careers"? I don't think so. Unless you're Black Widow, perhaps. >:->
But - I would say she is DRESSED UP AS a superheroine. "Barbie AS Catwoman"
So - those can be counted as acting.

"Actress", "Movie Actress" and "Movie Star" are basically the same thing.

 "Model", "Miss America" and "Beauty Pageant Girl"... Kind of the same thing.

Stewardess and Flight Attendant - the same thing

Pediatrician, Baby Doctor, Kid Doctor - same thing

The first Ballerina outfit wasn't a "career" choice but a hobby.
So was the tennis outfit and the ice skating outfit

I always thought that babysitting was something she did to earn some money when she was a teenager, not a career. Like cheerleading and marching band majoring.

"Ambassador for World Peace" and "Unicef Good Will Ambassador" are not careers. You do that on top of your occupation.

Running for President is not a career. Though considering that Barbie does that every fourth year she might qualify :-D
No, the career is "politician".
And because her "political career" consists solely of running for President every 4 years, I don't think that counts either.

"Pet Doctor", "Pet Vet" and "Veterinarian" are basically the same thing.
Also, a "Zoo doctor" is a veterinarian, unless she is working on the people working at the zoo... that might be possible, too.

Musician, singer, rapper, rock star, yadayada... 

"I can be... space camp"? I don't think so, Barbie.
I don't know what the camp instructors, leaders, guides or what ever they are called, are called, but I suppose that's what's meant with that.
Considering that she is an astronaut, I think she's more than qualified to lead space camp.

And "Concert pianist"? Because she has a grand piano? X-[ Come on!

It really starts to feel a bit like this famous person, who lists as hobbies, talents, careers, whatnots anything this person has ever tried, practiced, been interested in or read about.

Or the list of Polymaths that counts George Foreman as a polymath because he was a boxer and then gave his name to be used to sell grills. Oh, and he's an ordained minister, too. And a father.

I really don't want to diss Barbie, because she is supposed to be every woman - or every girl's dream of womanhood, which makes her by necessity a polymath having hundreds of "careers", but... there are people out there who actually have made a career of sports, arts, etc.

Also, there's no shame in being a homemaker and a mother. How about that as a career for Barbie? Can feminists take that?

13 Fascinating Careers You Never Knew Barbie Had
What A Barbie Doll’s Resume Looks Like After 55 Years

Alien, Bizarre, Weird & Mysterious Places On Earth

Mount Roraima

Mount Roraima is the highest of the Pakaraima chain of tepui plateaus in South America.
It was first described in Europe by the English explorer Sir Walter Raleigh in 1596.
The mountain serves as the triple border point of Venezuela (85% of its territory), Guyana (10%) and Brazil (5%).
The plateau on top of the mountain is 31 km² and has some unique plants and animals. It is a national park and protected, and the access is highly restricted because of the vulnerability.
Most of the nutrients flush away over the edges in the several waterfalls, falling some 400 meters, making them some of the highest waterfalls in the world.
It rains every day.
The mountain is holy to the people of the area, and there are myths explaining it as the stump of a giant tree once holding all the fruits and edible vegetables in the world.
There is only one route to the top that doesn't require mountain-climbing skills and equipment.

Fly Geiser

 It used to be an ordinary well. Then it started shooting hot water. Since that the waters have brought up minerals and that has been collecting during the years. This pile is about 1.5 meters high. The colors are due to algae.
Fly Geiser is not a tourist attraction but on private property.

Bermuda triangle

There's a lot of myths about this place. Most of it is just that, myths.
It is a very large area with no islands and not much traffic, so there are no eyewitnesses, nor can the disappearances be proven, as the Gulf stream takes any possible debris quickly away.
They say that "At least 1000 lives are lost within the last 100 years. On average, 4 aircraft and 20 yachts go missing every year."  (I have my suspicions about this data, though. Also, how many do not go missing? I can imagine there's quite a lot of small planes and yachts in that area that are not influenced in any way by this mysterious force.)
Most of the disappearances can be explained with natural reasons like equipment dysfunction and storm. but the people who want to believe explain these as part of the mystery. "It might be natural, but it ain't normal and it happens there more often than not..."
Some of the disappearances haven't happened even close this place, but as they are disappearances, people are saying that it is POSSIBLE they DID happen here.
These "disappearances" have been explained with aliens or Atlantis and other such things.
US government has their Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center in this area.
People claim that there is "electronic mist" and "time warp tunnels" in the area.
The first person to report about Bermuda Triangle was Christopher Columbus. He wrote in his journals that inside the triangle, the ship's compass stopped working and he also saw a fireball in the sky.

Blood Falls

 This is in the Antarctis, South from Australia. It is, of course, iron oxide - rust - that colors the water, but the interesting part of this is that the water is highly salty and there are micro-organisms living in it. It also look pretty impressive.

Travertine Pools Of Pamukkale

Pamukkale, meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli Province in southwestern Turkey. The city contains hot springs and travertines, terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water.
People have been pretty horrible using the site and the water, so people are not allowed to the terraces and bathing is only allowed in some selected small pools. It's worth visiting, though.

Richat Structure

 This is the "Eye of Sahara", in West Sahara in Mauretania. The thing with this is that we don't know how it was formed. Was is a meteorite? A volcano? Atlantis? Aliens? As many theories and explanations as people, nothing certain.

Moeraki Boulders

The "giant's marbles" are round stones about the size of a person. They say it's calcified mud - basically natural cement - and have been eroded from the surrounding stone, which was softer. As the shell is harder than the heart, these boulders break sometimes, and people like to sit inside them or so. As far as I know there are no restrictions on visiting this beach in New Zealand, just be mindful of your behavior, manners and the environment, AS YOU ALWAYS SHOULD.

National Potato Day

Decorate with potato theme - color brown in all its varieties, from gold and beige to chocolate - have a rustic, autumnal theme, like potato sacks and crates, and potato harvest - don't think "Irish", think earth, soil, dirt, think potato flowers, think Peru

* Play Hot Potato with an actual hot potato

There are other games with potatoes as well. Like spoon race using potatoes in stead of eggs and pantyhose bowling/golf with potatoes

Learn to prepare potatoes

* How to boil potatoes
* How to oven bake potatoes
* Mashed potatoes
* Potato tart
* Potato gratin
* Hasselback potatoes
* Potato hash
* Potato latkes
* Potato sallad

There are dozens of other recipes using potatoes. There are tons of way of using potatoes.

marzipan potatoes

Don't forget these:
Irish potato candy
mashed potato candy
potato cake (made with mashed potatoes - doesn't taste like mashed potatoes)
In Sweden they make these cute little "potato cakes" - with ordinary cake layer, topped with creme patisserie and formed to resemble potatoes, then covered with marzipane, shaped to look like potato, and dusted with cocoa powder to look like dirt on potatoes. Delicious.
In Finland they make these cute little potato balls, it's basically mashed potatoes mixed with cake crumbs and sugar, rolled into potato like shapes and rolled in cocoa or covered with chocolate.
Potato petit fours

They have identified over 100 different varieties of potatoes in Peru. There are cultivated and wild varieties. The wild potatoes are usually much more irregular in shape, have often very deep "eyes" and sometimes look like they are made of a bunch of tiny potatoes.

* potato is related to nightshades. The potato fruit (the tomato like berries that develop from the flowers if allowed) are poisonous. This same poison, solanum, exists in green potatoes.
(Dorothy L. Sayers wrote a short story "Leopard Lady" about a murder committed using this poison.)

* Potatoes have fascinating use as traditional medicine.
For example, potato tea (tea made of raw potato, potato peels, dried flowers and leaves of potato) is said to have a soothing effect to ingestion problems and help bile, liver etc. I wouldn't know.
Also, raw potato supposedly has anti-inflammatory and  qualities, so you can put a slice of raw potato on top of wounds, bruises and swelling.

* potatoes have more potassium than bananas, more vitamin C than oranges and more fiber than apples. In fact, potatoes have enough nutrients so that a human being can survive with only potatoes and dairy. (Milk fat (cream) has everything the potatoes lack concerning human essential nutrients, that is, fat soluble vitamins,)

Commenting someone's bucket list - sarcasm and advice

I just went through another Big Achiever's list of over 2000 goals she has achieved.

I find that very inspiring. I, too, want to have thousands of goals I have achieved!

Now, there are some things that irritate me on the list, and some things I think are "cheating" - as if there was the One and Only Proper and Correct Way of creating bucket lists :-D

Nevertheless, there's quite a lot of things on the list that "I want to do, too!" and quite a lot of things that "I don't want to do that, but something similar..." - there are goals that make me consider my life, situation, likes and dreams.

1) Photography
- there are a couple of "30 days to better photography" on-line. Go through those lists to improve your photography
- then practice by taking one of those hundreds of "photography bucket lists" on-line, giving you a theme or subject to shoot every day of a month.
- you can have an album at Facebook with your photos, arranged in different themes, like "album with things that are yellow" or "metal" or "winter-y" or what ever you like.

2) One of the easiest things to do is food and drinks. You have to eat and drink... or not necessarily, but most people do eat and drink every day. So with a little effort, you can get quite a lot things done worth doing and bragging about ;-)

- there are dozens of lists online about things you should try, taste or eat/drink
- there are dozens of lists of specific food items, drinks, like cocktails etc.
- you can cook, bake and make anything, or learn to do that. Brewing your own wine is a very impressive skill, smoking your own hams and lox, baking your bread, making your condiments, jelly and jam, and all kinds of things. That you can do at home, without needing to travel or pay a lot for the equipment or ingredients.

 3) Books, movies, tv series, music
Another great bucket list fodder. Things to do, cheap, at home, things you can do NOW.
Try to challenge yourself. That's kind of the idea with Bucket List. :-)

Some things to add to this kind of lists:
- find out data about your favorite author, actor, director, screenwriter, composer, singer...

- try out the art; write a small "play", act, write a song, sing - perform your creation at YouTube. That gives you quite a different appreciation of the art.

- create a "complete experience".
Make some movie snacks that are somehow connected to the story. Try to find some candles or potpurri or something like that so that you have an "appropriate" smell in your nose as you watch the movie.  The taste and smell are the senses that are not touched in movies, but the more senses you bring in, the more perfect experience you have.
Another sense is touch - so try to find something that appeals to that sense... might be hard to do, but one suggestion is to stage the movie watching area as if you were arranging a theme party, even when it's only you watching the movie.
And try to collect 2-4 movies that "belong together". For example, same theme, same actors, same director, same setting. I feel I "get" more that way.
The same with books. Engage your senses; have some soft music in the background, some snacks, wear something that could be from the book, etc.
The same with music. LISTEN to it. Find out information about the lyrics, is there history behind the lyrics or the composition, what about the performers? How did their lives look at the time of the writing of the music, songs, albums. Read their biographies, if you can.

- Also, start writing "playlists". You know, "the best Christmas movies", "my exercise playlist", "Summer reading list". When you watch a movie, read a book or listen to music, try to come up with some events or holidays it might fit.
You know all those "100 best movies"... someone wrote the list. Someone like you. That someone has most likely a lot of experience, have seen many movies, listened many songs, read many books, but there is no other difference. So share your opinion with the world. Share your favorite movies with the world. There are bound to be people out here who agree with you, and who will benefit from your opinion.

4) Travel
- start saving for travels.
- educate yourself about languages (I'm Finnish. 99% of the world speaks different language to me :-D), places to visit, buildings and monuments to see, or natural phenomenon to experience, and learn to make itineraries, learn to pack wisely, learn different tricks and tips to make your traveling experience better etc. There is a lot you can do to prepare for the day you have managed to save enough money.
- improve your physical condition - get fit, so that you have the energy to walk and walk and walk which is quite a big part of traveling, and learn to take care of your feet.
- play tourist in your home town. That is actually a great way to prepare yourself for "real" traveling :-D
- get practice in writing travel journals, if that is what you wish.
- get better with your camera, if you want to take photos when you travel.
- plan your travel wardrobe and "test drive" it at home. :-)

5) What I would like you to do is use Pinterest. 

Collect all kinds of things you find beautiful, likable, attractive, inspiring, interesting, fun, all things you would like to do, or be able to do. 

Then look at it, and find out how you can learn to make those things. Everything is made by someone. 

If you love jewelry, learn to make it. Silversmithy is quite manageable to do at home, and there isn't much space and equipment required to cut and polish stones, or to make glass beads.

If you love glass, learn to make it. You can start with stained glass windows or lampwork glass beads, and continue to blowing and cutting glass.

If you love cabinets, learn to make them.

If you love swords, learn to make them.

If you love motorcycles - yes, you can learn to make them, too, and at first, you can learn to drive one. Then you can learn to fix it. Then you can learn to build them.

If you notice you are mostly pinning clothes, learn to sew and make accessories.

If you pin mostly traveling, exercising and outdoors activities, do more of those things.

There are no "one list fits all" lists. This is about what makes YOU happy. What YOU find fulfilling, fun and wonderful. Things YOU want to do, have always wanted to do, try, taste, experience.

Now, the whiny part - so if you don't want negativity in your life, stop reading!

Over 100 of those 2000 goals are duplicates.

Some of them are multiples; that is, mentioned several times but with different words or combinations.
Like "climb a tree", "climb a tree in ---" "climb a 10 feet tree" "climb a 100 feet tree" etc.
or "watch [movie]", "see [movie]" or "watch [list of movies which this movie is part of]"
I'm not too fond of that kind of goal counting. I feel it's cheating.

So - again, if you want to have a lot of goals on your list, list every movie you have ever seen, every book you have ever read, every place you have ever visited, every thing you have ever tasted, eaten, drank or cooked, AND find out lists where these things appear, so that you can complete lists with less things to do.

Another thing that I find irritating and not "worthy" of being on the list is different brands and labels.
"Visit this [tourist attraction] or that [amusement park]". "Buy all --- thingamajoys and gadgamathings". Collect 'em all!

Also, the lady in question has listed "become a minimalist and reduce your things" AND "have a huge collection of ---". Several things, actually, like cups, shot glasses, souvenirs and movies.
Well... the "100 things challenge" counts collections as one item >:->

Sex, drugs and rudeness...
Why would anyone want to do something stupid, mean, destructive, inconsiderate, illegal?

Why would anyone want to have "one night stand" on their "must do before I die" list? Have a quickie against a wall wearing a skirt and no underwear?
I really wish people would leave the sex in the relationship with one's SO.
(Why? Because it is better and safer that way. Quality over quantity.)

Also, this woman has "never smoke" together with experimenting with all kinds of drugs and being high and drunk in all kinds of combinations and doing things when drunk, high or both. Using coffee, alcohol, hash and cocaine but not tobacco sounds a little weird.

I wish people would keep their bucket lists "clean".
I wish people would find more kind things to do, more RAKs, helping people, smiling, sharing, donating, engaging in good things, productive, considerate, fun and lovely.

Decision making help tools

Now, the following is a bit of... well... hocuspocus or something... take it as you please.
If you don't "believe" in New Age spiritual ideas and magic and other such things and consider them bullshit, stop reading here, and move on, but I would like you to read on and make up your own mind of whether there is anything useful to you in what is said.
I am not saying you have to accept everything said in this blog as law or rule or fact, I'm not saying everything here works for everyone, but I expect you to be smart enough to at least read an article before deciding it's bullshit, and I expect you to be smart enough to adjust the suggestions to fit your values, lifestyle and methods you know work for you. 

After all, no-one needs to know, if you are afraid of being seen as "not serious" :-D

Nevertheless, you can go through your (or anyone else's) bucket list testing it according to these instructions, if you feel like it. 

Now, I came across this article today:
How to access intuition

I am a witch and I believe in things like intuition and qi and so on.

I don't "believe" in "ego" as the New Age circles define it, but I do acknowledge there's "something" in it, too.  I believe there's "something" in homeopathy and astrology as well. I don't know what it is, because there is no evidence to support the existing theories, and scientific evidence is rather important to me, but "something" makes it "work". It might be pure psychology and manipulation and placebo and "cold reading" in a way of saying things vaguely so that anything fits everyone, but psychology and placebo effect are real, scientific facts.

She mentioned "muscle testing". I didn't know what that is, so I went to find out what it is.
This is what I found.

Now, with me easy opening is "yes" and tight hold is "no". I am so surprised that it works. It might not be very easy to see the thing, but you will know what it is. When the hold is tight, it's like having an iron band supporting the link of your fingers. When the hold is loose, the fingers almost open by themselves.

You make the "question ring" with your less dominant hand, and test with the more dominant hand.

Test to see what your "yes/positive/good" and "no/negative/bad" are.

Firstly, you need to find out if your body "likes" the statements more than the questions. Which way do you get more clear answers? "Is my name ---?" or "My name is ---?"

                                YES                                                                                 NO
"My name is ---"                                                                   My name is [what ever it isn't, a name you
My name is [what ever it is, what ever you                     dislike, a name of a person/character you
have called yourself, what ever name you                       dislike]
associate yourself with].
With me it works with "Sanna" (my official name),
"Ketutar", "Anna" (a name I have used of my
 main characters), "Kate (or any form of Katherine)"
(One of my favorite names)

"I am a [woman/man - which ever you are]"                 "I am a [woman/man - which ever you aren't]"

"My birthday is in [which ever month it is]"                  "My birthday is in [which ever month it isn't]"

Think of something you like                                               Think of something you dislike

Think of something that has happened                            Think of something that has happened
that was good                                                                          that was bad

Think of someone you like/love                                         Think of someone you dislike/hate

As Cynthia Sue said, you can use this testing with about anything. You can for example check if you are allergic or oversensitive to some food, by holding a piece of the food in your dominant hand.

Another thing I have noticed is that it's better if you take your time and try to tune in the energy with your whole body.

You can also use the pendulum for muscle testing.

Bucket List Journal

I have this household binder, with all kinds of printable factsheets and fillable lists and such. I have a Sabbath binder with "holiday grand plan" printed, so that I just need to follow a ready-made, reasonable and manageable list to get the dream holidays I want.

I think I need a List binder,  with a page (or more) for each entry on the list I want to do, with a reasonable and manageable list of steps to take to reach the goal, and a deadline. A place to record the journey and see my progress.

I want to do it this way, because then I have something tangible, instead of just words on the screen. [I mean, sites are closed, computers break, data is lost - a binder is harder to lose and easier to access at any time, without electricity, even when a site is down for maintenance, and so on. ;-)] Having printed something on paper makes it somehow more important, more real. I think. But I'm a book lover, so I would think so :-D

There's also another thing... if those "The Secret" -people are right, creating a "dream board" creates a force that helps you reach the dream.

Also, there's statistics (the legendary "they" say) that shows that people have better chances of losing weight if they keep a journal. Those same "they" also say that "if you write down your goals you are more apt to complete them. Set a realistic weight loss goal and the date that you want to achieve this goal. Write down everything you need to do to achieve your goal. Then it becomes a plan and not just a goal."

So - let's have a dream journal. Or The List Journal.

Write a page in your Dream Binder for every dream you have, how ever big or small, how ever reasonable and rational, how ever possible.

Then you need to cut it into steps and put a date on it.

A dream written down with a date becomes a goal.
A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan.
A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.

How to create S.M.A.R.T. goals:

SMART goals

To be able to keep a book on your achievements, you need to define your dreams and wishes. Make your wishes, goals SPECIFIC.
Write down
- what do I want to accomplish?
- why do I want to accomplish it?
- where do I want to accomplish it?
- when do I want to accomplish it?
- with whom do I want to accomplish it?
- with which limitations, requirements, equipment etc. do I need to accomplish it?

Make your goals MEASURABLE
- "get fit" is fine, but what does it mean? How do you measure fitness? Perhaps you wish to be able to perform certain fitness goals or get a certain result in a fitness test. Make it measurable, so you'll know when you have reached your goal.

Make your goals ATTAINABLE

Dreaming about impossible things is all nice and so, but feel unattainable and thus you won't even go for it. Sure, you might want to braid a mermaid's hair, but if you mean a real being that is half woman and half fish, that is probably not going to happen. Unless dreams count. So make your goal attainable.
What would be something real, attainable, possible, realistic, existing in this world that's close to this dream? Do you wish to braid Ariel's hair in Disney Land? Or perhaps go to some woman playing a mermaid? Or make a mermaid doll?

Or perhaps you think this isn't such a good idea after all, and decide to pursue something else in stead, something that is more realistic, more useful for your wellbeing and happiness, more useful for you to reach your other goals. But what do I know. One thing is for sure, it's only you who can say how serious your goals are. Something that might seem silly or stupid to me, might be the most important thing to you, and vice versa.

Also, some things are impossible TODAY TO YOU AS YOU ARE NOW, but you can learn, develop, evolve, grow, become more and better and adjust yourself to the requirements of the dream. Map your road in achievable steps. What is it you need to be able to do to be able to do something else?
For example, if I want to learn to drive a car, I get an instructor, sit in the car and drive slowly, slowly, in an area where I can't damage anyone nor the car. I get more and more used to driving, and soon I will be able to start driving among obstacles, then in slow traffic, then in heavy traffic, and while I get used to driving, I'm learning the traffic rules and training to control the car under difficult conditions, like ice on the road or rain or snow, and some basic car maintenance like filling the tank, changing the oil and tyres.
Now, I could start training to become a rally driver. Or start training driving lorries and buses and 18-wheelers and what ever there is.
So start small, take baby steps and take you to your goal step by step. Just like kids learn to run.

Make your goal RELEVANT

Do things that count. Do things that matter.

Bind your goal in TIME. Put a date on it. "Some day" never comes, neither does "tomorrow", "in the future", "one day" or "when I'm ..."
Another thing with TIME is that you can do anything 15 minutes a day. Do it for 15 minutes and then you can forget all about it until the next day and the next 15 minutes.
Or use the NaNoWriMo method and reach any goal working for it just one hour a day.

Some people add E.R. to this list. SMARTER. The E is ENJOYABLE and the R is REWARD or RE-EVALUATE (Practically the same thing. Keep an eye on what you have actually DONE and achieved. That in itself is a reward, it tells you you are not a lazy bum, you DO things, you REACH goals, YOU ARE MAKING YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!)

This is from TipJunkie

There are free printable project planner pages. I'm not too fond of them, just because they are printable, and full of prewritten text that is not relevant to me. I would like you to take a look at them and write down questions that are important to you, and then write each project page for itself, not fill in some form.

Important things to me are:
- what is it
- due date / schedule
- steps
- necessary equipment, tools, materials
- necessary contacts, people
- ideas, inspiration (sort of dream board)
- notes (things to remember, to consider, to check, to plan)

Create an Ice cream flavor

1) Think about your favorite ice cream flavors, desserts, candy, cocktails, fruits, spices...

2) Think about how those would be as ice cream and write a list; like "violet ice cream with candied violets and dried strawberries, striped with violet syrup"

3) Get a list of all existing ice cream flavors

4) Remove from your list all the existing ice creams

5) start experimenting.
Take some good vanilla ice cream and let it soften so that you can mix in different flavors.
You can get quite a lot of different flavors with essences, spices etc.
You can create ripple with sauces, syrups, jams and jellies.
You can make sorbet and mix with ice cream.
You can mix in pieces of fruit, cookies, candy. Dried edible flowers, nuts and almonds..

More ideas for flavor experimenting
What would your favorite flower be if it was ice cream?
What would your favorite animal be if it was ice cream?
How could you change your favorite ice cream to make it even better?

You could get ideas from this list: You Will Not Believe These Weird Ice Cream Flavors From All Over The World!

Or you could go all Japanese and create ice cream flavor no-one would ever eat - except the Japanese...

Importance of preparations

It's not enough to have a list.
It's not enough to SMART the list.
It's not enough to have the determination and will to get you through the list.
You need to prepare.

For example:

I have been trying to get myself out and walking for the last month.
There have been days when I think it would be nice, but decided not to, simply because the threshold was elevated by the fact that I hadn't prepared.
I am a lazy bum, so I need to have all the things I need in order.

I need to have my telephone and bluetooth unit charged.
I need to have my telephone, bluetooth unit and earphones ready.
I need to have the clothes I'm planning to use prepared, from sportsbra to good shoes.
Everything needs to be clean.
I also need to have something I can have over the clothes, if it's rainy or cold.
If it had been easy, just to get into the clothes, take my MP3 player and go, I would have gone.
When I needed to wait for the phone to charge and couldn't find my socks, I didn't go.

The same with everything else.
If you plan to yoga every morning, you need to have a place to yoga prepared, and the clothes you plan wearing.
If you plan to learn to play a guitar, you need a guitar that is stringed and tuned, and what ever material you plan to use to learn from, ready.
If you plan to watch a movie, you need to have a copy of that movie, and necessary equipment to watch that copy.
If you want to make a piece of art every day, you need your paper, pens, brushes, paint, what ever it is you plan to paint/draw and the necessary equipment.

It's much easier to get something done, when you have everything you need to do it with readily available.

These are Thirty-One organizing totes. 

The company creates them in different sizes, patterns and colors

and you can order them with embroidery.

I suggest you collect all the equipment, tools and materials for your project

in one box or bag or tote or caddy

to make it easier to get doing things.

The 100 items challenge

Reduce your property. Everything will be easier.
It will be easier to keep the household clean and tidy and reduce health risks
It will be easier to find the items one needs
Well... possessions ARE a burden. I invest a lot of time to take care of it, a lot of worries about what to do with it if something happens, like "what would you save if your home started burning?", and a lot of time, money and effort to WANT things, to OWN things, to HAVE and to HOLD... Things.

Reduce your property to 100 items.

Oh... this is hard.
I think if I counted everything that I own, the list goes way beyond 100. The books alone... I think I have some 1500+ books... and movies and games and things like that...

Books are not included to the list, neither are dishes and cleaning supplies and other household necessities.
That frees a LOT of space.

Also, collections count as 1 item.
That's even better.

So, what's left?

1. artist supplies
2. computer
3. bed and bed linen
4. nightstand
5. sleep apnea machine
6. my mobile phone and charger

52. CD collection
53. DVD collection
54. my jewelry collection
55. camera with lenses, charger, batteries, bag and memory cards
56. sportsgear; running shoes, clothes etc.
57. my figure skates
58. my long distance skates
59. Rötkö (my toy dog from my childhood)
60. My toiletry bag with what's inside ( toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, hair brush, comb, hair ties, bath brush, hand cream, body butter, small scissors, foot file, nail file, nail polisher - if every item is counted as one, this will take my list to 73)
61. important documents (passport etc.)
62. portable harddrive
63. a couple of extra memory sticks
64. my grandfather's violin
65. my guitar
66. my soprano recorder

68. photos of my family
69. my great-grandmother's embroidery sample
70. my great-grandfather's handmade knife
71. all our magic cards
72. collection of games... (yes, I know, I know... but I call it a collection and that will do. My list.)
73. Canasta cards
74. my grandfather's candlesticks
75. my tarot cards
76. my witchy things (a collection)
77. reading glasses

83. a comfy chair

---?
Right now it looks like it's not hard at all. Huh.

I will look to this deeper and try to diminish all my belongings to 100. Books not included. Nor art supplies and tools. Or furniture. Or kitchen things. Probably also not most of the interior decor, like rugs and artwork.

Be Debt Free

1) Go through your economy and finances.Write very clearly, using any aids that helps you to understand what's going on, how much income do you have and how much expenses do you have.

This is an image from a Swedish tv show called "Lyxfällan" (Luxury trap) 

- about people living over their resources and how they manage to get their economy in order.

The economical helpers have a pile of bills respective to the income of the person,

and they divide the money to the different categories;

living; food; transport; clothes; savings; others; loans
to show the situation in an easily understandable manner

You could do the same.

Do the envelope budgeting. Divide your incomes in as many envelopes as you need; living; food; saving; paying off debt; other. As you will be using real money and cash for as long as you are in debt, this will work. When the envelope is empty, there is no more money. No credit, no loans, no living on someone else's money or your own future money. So plan.

2) Find out to the pennies and cents how much EXACTLY do you have debt

3) Go through your property and sell anything that isn't necessary for your living and wellbeing.
You do not need luxury items.
You do not need brand items. You do not need collections. (Now, this is not a straight forward question, some collections are harder to recollect than others. Do not sell the rarities of your collection, sell just the collections that can relatively easily be collected again. Like stamps or dolls or malachite items or some specific China pattern. Chanel bags and Hermés scarves. Those things can be found again. Don't sell the knife your great-grandfather made himself or your grandmother's china, if you are collecting that china pattern. Also, if it breaks your heart to sell something, don't.)

4) Downsize. Get a car - if you must have a car - that uses very little fuel.You don't need the latest model of iPhone. You don't need several computers, laptops, pads etc. You don't need a fancy coffee machine or dryer or tens of kitchen gadgets.

5) Cut all the expenses that aren't necessary. Get rid of the television all together and all possible cable costs etc. You don't need Netflix etc.
Renegotiate all deals like telephone, electricity, water etc. that you can, and try to find the most economical solution. Cut your water and electricity use to minimum.

6) Find free entertainment. Things like board games, reading books out loud etc.
Don't go to movies unless someone pays for you. Drop your magazine subscriptions and go read them at a library.

7) Minimize your wardrobe. Learn to mend your clothes. Get rid of all the "dry cleaning only" clothes. Get a working capsule wardrobe you renew with 5 new pieces twice a year.

8) Go through your food budget.
Learn cooking.
Make food plans and menus.
Cook big portions and freeze what's left over if you don't eat it the next day.
See if it works better for you to buy for the day or to buy in big packs and fill the freezer.
Veggies are cheaper than meat, so try to replace as much meat as you can with vegetable proteins, eggs and dairy.
Stop eating store bought snacks, candy, cereals and ready-made food, frozen meals etc.
Learn to make these things yourself, from scratch, and replace candy with fruits.
Start having a "Sunday dinner" with dessert once a week (any day of the week is fine).
Plant a kitchen garden. You can grow tomatoes on a windowsill, if you don't have any land. You can grow a lot of edible things in pots. Everything you grow is practically free food.
Go foraging. Learn to eat mushrooms and other wild veggies. 
(Now, in Sweden and Finland there's something called "Everyman's Right" or "Freedom to Roam", which states that mushrooms and berries that grow in a forest are free to all. One may not harm trees, but most of the herbs are free to be picked and eaten, like nettles etc. There's a lot of "free salad" and greens in the forest to give flavor to your food. Find out what your rights are in your country, what is free to be picked and also find out if some of the edible plants are endangered or protected etc.)
Don't eat out.
Make your lunch for your job, and get a coffee cup that can be refilled and fill it at home. You can be without some brand coffee drinks for the time it takes to get you debt free, and THEN you can start enjoying your favorite "drugs". Frankly, there are copycat recipes for most if not all brand name coffee house and restaurant dishes.
Don't buy bottled water or soda or any drinks, basically. Get a water bottle you fill at home. Learn to drink water in stead of anything else. You can enjoy good wines when it's served free or when you are debt free. Not before.

And every time you think
"I'm going to buy one cup, it's not that much and I deserve it! It can't be that I'm supposed to give up ALL my pleasures!"
tell yourself that
it's just that attitude that got you in debt.
You want to be debt free more than you want that cup of coffee.
It might not feel that way right now, right now I KNOW you want nothing as much as that cup of coffee, but trust me. The feeling is LYING. You want to have a debt free cup of coffee in the future.
You don't want to steal from yourself. You will go home and get yourself a cheaper but as good cup of coffee at home, and you will feel good about yourself and put the difference in your piggybank and thank God, the Universe, Fate, what ever, that you can save and you can pay off your debt.
And apologise to yourself that you used the money in the past to buy some unnecessary gidgetamathingy so that you can't go and buy yourself that cup of coffee.
And remind yourself of that the world is full of free and cheap pleasures, you are not giving up anything that's not worth giving up, and you will be able to enjoy the non-free pleasures in the future if you choose something cheaper or free this time.

 You can't afford it, get over it.

9) Get frugal with EVERYTHING. Try to see how little you can use of things like tooth paste and toilet paper.

10) cut all your credit cards. Don't buy anything on credit. Pay everything straight, in cash. Even debit cards make you use more money that you need to!

11) try to get more incomes. If you can't it's OK because the trick is to minimize the expenses, not to maximize the income.

12) Start paying your debt.
Start with the money you have borrowed from family and friends.
Then pay off the ones with highest interest. If the interest is the same, pay the smallest ones first. If the amount is the same, pay the ones that will cost more in the future first. If the development is the same, pay the oldest ones first.
Try to consolidate your debt.  

13) Every month, put at least 10% in a savings account first, before paying or buying anything else.
Whenever you get even a cent extra money, use it to pay off your debts. (Or put it on the saving account, to be able to pay off bigger chunks at once.)
Everything you don't spend, save. (We get our "salary" twice a month. Every time the new "salary" comes to our account, we save what's left of the previous "salary".)
Empty your pockets of coins and bills when you come home at night and save that cash.

14) Change your words.
Instead of thinking "that's so cheap, it only costs ---" think "I don't need to buy that, I'll save an extra --- and can pay off my debt earlier!"
Learn to think "what can I do without that?"
If the word "budget" sounds like a "diet" and reminds you only of things you can't have and you have to be without and you have to give up, change it. Use "spending plan" in stead. Or "Roadmap to economical freedom and independence".
The same with "debt".
Use words that make the saving and paying off your debts look exciting, interesting, positive, empowering - after all, you CAN get debt free! You can pay off your loans! You can pay your bills! You can!
Rename bill paying. Rename everything! :-D

15) Start respecting money.
Now, this might be a lot of hoohaa, but it might also work. Treat every coin and bill in your wallet as if it was an irreplacable piece of a collection. Smooth the bills gently and put them in neat order in your wallet, all facing the same way, from the smallest to the biggest. Always have a little money in your wallet. You can even polish your coins if you want to. Scrooge McDuck might be onto something ;-) :-D

16) cut the stimulants. Cut the coffee, tobacco, drugs, alcohol, candy... None of that is necessary. All of that costs more than useful substances. Something like tea or chewing gum might have a positive health effect or a psychological effect that makes it worth the money to keep using, but potato chips, coca cola and cocktails don't. It might be hard to get over the addiction, but it's definitely worth it, in every way.
Also, it's easier to cut an addiction if you get a fun and enjoyable life. People happily in love can quit anything.

17) Cut out the gym, hair dresser, spa and beauty treatments, tanning and salon visits. Start growing your hair long, stop shaving.

18) cut vacations and traveling for as long as it takes you to pay off your debt. You will have time and money for both AFTER.
(Remember, YOU created your debt. No-one forced it on you. YOU are 100% responsible for it. YOU spend your vacation money on something else before you even got the chance to travel. YOU did. This is just a reasonable and deserved consequence of YOUR OWN ACTIONS.)

19. YOU NEED AN EMERGENCY FUND!
Find out how much will it cost to repair or replace something that is essential for your life. For us it's the internet. We will always have enough money saved to buy a new computer at any time. That money will not be used to anything else, and not be counted as backup plan or something like that, because we need the computer at all times. You might need to have saved as much as it takes to repair your car, or to pay medical bills or to travel to see your dying parent the last time. What ever it is, you know what you need.

20. You also need some plan for "I want to quit, I can't do this!" moments. You need to plan some sort of mini vacation during which everything is "normal" and you don't need to save money and think about your debt and try to figure out how to earn more money... For example, visit a museum or art gallery you have been interested in for a long time and treat yourself with a nice lunch out. Take a mini beauty treatment at a spa. Something like this. Go have a picnic. Have a candlelight dinner. Go to movies and eat trash food after. I mean... something that to you means carefree and luxurious, but that is still relatively cheap so that it won't crash your plan for economical freedom.

21. Pay your bills in time. Pay your bills as soon as you get them. If you can't, call the company and tell them you'll be paying a little late. Some times that is enough for them not to whack any late payment fees on you.

Social Media

The main thing about social media is GET ACTIVE!
You really don't need to care much about what you post, just as long as you post.

To get more influential, you should be reliable and interesting.
Post about things you are interested in. A lot of people are interested in the same things.
Learn something new every day. Read a lot.
Follow the trends. Get involved in the trending things, like tv shows or books or movies. 
(This is not so that you could follow the trends and post what everyone else posts, but to get an idea how trending works and how to create original content by the trends, perhaps even creating trends...)
Learn from others. Create content SIMILAR to others (Don't steal, don't copy!)
Get social, interact. Go to meetings, chat with people, always leave "likes" and "comments", follow people. Treat your readers as real people, and present yourself as a real person as well. Post enough details about your life that makes people remember that you are a real person.
Post pictures. Preferably your own. Get a camera and get used to it. Get Photoshop and get used to it. It's not difficult to get share-worthy photos or to create infographics.

Spread yourself to all social medias you can find and crosspost. Right now you should have
- Twitter
- Tumblr (for sharing photos, interesting pictures, infographics etc.)
- Instagram
- Facebook
- Pinterest
- blog on some free blogging site unless you can create a passive income through a blog to pay for a unique URL. I like Blogger. My husband likes Wordpress.
