My reading has been quite mediocre lately. Things have just been busy. I know, it's not an excuse, but the reality is, there is only so much time in a day. And while it's always about choices, I've been finding I either need (or want) to do some other things with little windows of time… Continue reading Current reads

Happy May Day! New month + April recap
New month! And, it's May- which means we are officially out of my least desired two months of the year- March and April. From here it's mostly smooth sailing. Weather will warm up pretty soon now consistently, then summer is always lovely, followed by my favorite (fall), and on to the holidays/winter, both seasons I… Continue reading Happy May Day! New month + April recap
Results proportional to effort…. and yummy food
I've been feeling a little lacking in motivation lately, kind of. It's a little hard to explain. It's more that I feel like on the whole, I'm not as "hard core" on certain things as I used to be. I can't decide if I actually care or not. Around ~2015 or so when I got… Continue reading Results proportional to effort…. and yummy food
1/12 ✅
And just like that, 1/12 of 2021 is over. Flipped the calendar to FEBRUARY already this morning. January always feels like a kind of long month, though I suppose it is one of the longer ones, technically. It was a nice month, for me. In a way it feels like forever ago that we were… Continue reading 1/12 ✅
Day 1- Intermittent Fasting
Yesterday was Day 1 of my trial period of Intermittent Fasting. I mentioned I wanted to try it for at least 4 weeks in 2021. I just finished this book and decided there is no time like the present: (I may need to rethink the only 4 week trial though. Sounds like it can take… Continue reading Day 1- Intermittent Fasting
Screens & vaccines
Morning! Now only 10 days until Christmas. My "favorite" part of the Christmas season has officially passed....I actually really love the time between ~Thanksgiving and right about now. Those early December days are the best, to me. Once we get into the final days leading up to the 24th, there's always a sense of anxiety… Continue reading Screens & vaccines
Productivity Series #4: Accessory Notebook+ Habit Tracker/Highlight Journal system
Now that I've covered all of my "basics" (my planner, digital calendar and to do list system), today I'm going to cover an important but probably less crucial piece of my productivity regimen. I call this "my notebook" usually. 🙂 It's a cream of the crop, top of the line Five Star grid paper notebook… Continue reading Productivity Series #4: Accessory Notebook+ Habit Tracker/Highlight Journal system
Productivity Series #1: Planner/ Calendar system
Let me preface this post (and series) by saying that I am certainly no productivity "expert". But, it is a topic I have been very interested in for the past ~5 years or so, so I've learned quite a bit about it. My personal systems are generally still a work in progress and have been… Continue reading Productivity Series #1: Planner/ Calendar system
Outside
Day 7 of my challenge is complete! I'm on a roll. 🙂 My favorite parts of it are the daily 20 min. walk outside and the reading.My least favorite part is drinking a gallon of water per day! That's just a lot of water for me. I don't love drinking water, and if I'm not intentional about… Continue reading Outside
A New Week and Habit Tracking
Another fresh week, and the first full week of a new month. I don't mind Mondays. They always feel full of promise and optimism to me. Nothing has gone wrong, yet! 🙂 The weekend was nice. We had "swim Saturday" and "soccer Sunday". Ethan had a game around ~1 hour away yesterday morning. It wasn't far… Continue reading A New Week and Habit Tracking
