My thing today was driving into the city (no, not “the” city - just one of the “big” ones on the peninsula!) and recycling a shopping bag full of electronics. I was hoping to donate some cell phones to a local shelter or another cause in need of mobile devices, but unfortunately those are harder to find when you aren’t looking for one! It felt good to get rid of the clutter and also save the environment. (For those of you who are wondering, Best Buy has a great recycling program.) What was one little thing you did today to make a little difference?

My thing today was enjoying the epitome of a Seattle day - drinking an iced coffee on the ferry while crossing the Puget Sound into Seattle. It may have been cold and overcast, but you have to admit - it’s still a gorgeous view (even while commuting!) What little things are you enjoying this weekend?

My thing today is enjoying a nice, quiet evening at home to watching this must-see documentary that “examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods.” 

(Yes, it’s true - I’m going Vegan! More about that on my personal blog here.)

My thing today was enjoying a fabulous (and free!) concert that featured one of my favorite bands, Death Cab for Cutie. I won tickets to the show (using social media, of course!) and brought one of my best friends. Along with Death Cab, we enjoyed Cage the Elephant and Foster the People - all from a suite! It was definitely one of the most luxurious ways I have ever experienced music, and was a great addition to celebrating the holidays! What are the little things you’re doing to enjoy this holiday season?

I am a coffee addict and can easily spend $5-$10 a day on an iced coffee (or two!) Today my thing is to save a little money and help reduce my carbon imprint by making my own coffee! This tumblr was only a few dollars and the coffee only took a few seconds to make thanks to Starbucks’ instant VIA packets. And yes - its just as good at “the real thing” - but much better for both my wallet and the planet! What’s your one thing today that’s going to make a big difference?

Okay….so that picture isn’t really me! But today I’ve decided to spend a little time tackling one big thing: E-mail!  I’m still working on getting physically organized, but today I’m going to take a few minutes to clean up the other “place” I live in most of the day - my inbox! My goal (at least for now?) Unsubscribe from every email list I don’t actually read and try to set up a few filters. Are you getting organized this week, too? If not, what’s your one little thing you’re doing today to make life a little better - either for you or someone else?

As I mentioned yesterday, this week is all about organizing! Today I’m going to spend a little bit of time finding a few related blogs for inspiration. One of my personal favorite organization blogs is iHeart Organizing, so I’m excited to find more! What are your favorite blogs that inspire you?

This week I am getting organized! Each day I’m going to do one little thing to head in the right direction. Today, I’m headed to Goodwill to donate all the clothes in my closet I haven’t worn in awhile. Everything’s in pretty good condition and most if it is pretty cute! Hopefully someone else finds a way to enjoy the clothes and makes them more fashionable than I can. Want to join me in this week’s mission? Leave a comment below, or tell me - what’s your thing of the day?

Today’s My Thing of The Day is actually yours! This is Matt Ebert’s Thing of The Day: I setup Wordpress from scratch only using Azure while sitting in the boarding area of Reagan National waiting for my flight back to Seattle….because I could. :) You can find Matt on Twitter @bestgeekfriend, and now that you know his thing of the day - what’s yours?
