KonMari Part 1 | Monthly Challenge

01 May 2019

No comments
Salam and hye guys!

I'm back and ready to roll (my sleeves) for this month challenge! It's been awhile since I really wanted to declutter and reorganize my space. So I guess this is finally it! Super excited! Who else got excited to declutter and organize their stuffs? I'm sure I'm not the only one 😂 Btw, I just bought the The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying by Marie Kondo and I'm doing this project while reading it.

I've already started the process which I recorded it in my twitter. Let me just recap a little bit.

Marie Kondo day 1. Starting to regret my life decision... Send help. Why am I doing this to myself?



2nd day, trying to discard which one sparks joy. But everything sparks joy to me how? 

Day 3, this is getting depressing... 

Day 4 guys, letting go is hard... 💔 

 I would like to believe that I am 35% done with my clothes 🎉 

Day 5, everything deserve a second chance, including my clothes.

The beginning of the process was very hard. I get overwhelmed with the amount of clothes I actually accumulated over the years. I am a hoarder, so I kinda kept some of the clothes that I have since I was a kid. To be honest, I decluttered some of my clothes during last Ramadan too. It's hard for me to let everything go at the same time, so I think I might have to follow my own phase. Don't judge. I know that I was supposed to get rid everything that doesn't spark joy anymore. But some clothes are in between spark joy and no longer spark joy, and the condition of the clothes are still good!

I'm selling some of my clothes at Carousell and I'll donate the rest to any charity organization that might benefits from it. Still looking for one.

Anyway, Marie Kondo says that you should sort your belongings into five categories. These help you to sort through your possessions and start discarding things that you don’t need. Having the different categories helps to make your decluttering task a bit less overwhelming.

The five categories are: 

  1. Clothing 
  2. Books 
  3. Paper 
  4. Misc 
  5. Mementos 

So, I'm just going to focus on the first category which is clothing.

Subcategories for clothing: 

  1. Tops
  2. Bottoms
  3. Clothes that should be hung
  4. Socks/tights 
  5. Underwear 
  6. Bags 
  7. Accessories 
  8. Special event clothing (e.g., swimwear, uniforms) 
  9. Shoes 
  10. Extra for me : Scarves/ Hijab/ Tudung

I'm gonna update my progress from time to time. This will not by one month challenge, maybe 3 months. I hope I will not exceed 3 months! Praying that I can finish everything as soon as possible. Wish me luck!

To organize and clean space,

Hye guys. 

My initial plan for this month is actually be PRODUCTIVITY. How irony, every time I put productivity as my challenge that month, it became the most unproductive month for me. So, I am actually taking a break from this month, because I have so much on my plate right now. I'm just going to have a lot of me-time and try to figure out how to balance my routine, with a baby.

See you guys soon!

The Sacred Formula | Doa Course

27 July 2018

No comments
Salam everyone! So this month, I wanted to share something that I've been doing this month. I've been consistently take this FREE "online course", which called The Sacred Formula : A Study of the Du'a of the Prophets By Sh. Yahya Adel Ibrahim. 

But first, let me introduce you to School of Deen. I super love them btw. One of the best Islamic organization that I've followed (before this I love I-Muslim, but sadly, they're no longer operating). They organize events and classes for both online and offline. They'll also have Sister of Deen Meet Up every 2 months, which I always joined.

I've been following them in :
1. Instagram 

Anyway, back to the course.

💡THE SACRED FORMULA WILL COVER:
1. Introduction
2. 5 people whom Allah will answer
3. Do You Deserve to be Answered? 
4. Why Du'a is not answered?
5. The Du'a of Adam
6. The Du'a of Nuh
7. The Du'a of Ibrahim
8. The Du'a of Yunus
9. The Du'a of Musa
10. The Du'a of Zakariya
11. The Du'a of Muhammad ï·º

💡HOW WILL IT WORKS?
🌸 Maximum of 15 minutes audio lecture for 27 days.
🌸 Just click on the link to be provided to play the audio.
🌸 Once it's played you don't need the internet anymore, You can just lock your phone, you can still take notes using your phone, you can PAUSE, PLAY and REWIND freely!

💡TIPS:
🌸 Just spend only max of 15 minutes / day to learn new knowledge. Don't procrastinate! 
🌸 Or you can also be like me. I consistently spend my Monday and Tuesday mornings for a month to listen to 3 - 5 audios / day and take notes. I downloaded all the audios in my laptop. I printed the PDF version and took notes there. I spend about 1 hour only to study.
🌸You can listen while doing something else (eg: driving) or have a proper study time like me. I avoid multitasking and focus to listen to audio while taking notes only. I've also put my phone in silent mode. Helps me to concentrate better.
🌸 Share few key points everyday with your family, friends or your social medias to help you remember.
🌸 Apply the Doas that you've learned through out the course in your everyday life and start creating your own Doas too!

If you want to join the course, don't worry it's never too late, just install Telegram apps in your laptop or phone and click HERE! 

Happy learning guys. May all of us be benefited with the knowledge and started to apply them in our daily life. May Allah accept our efforts in learning and be a better muslim.
