You know what I think is the worst thing for people who like (or need) to plan their time?? The service call. When the plumber/ electrician/ cable guy/ person with tools tells you they will show up at your house "between 12-5" or, in my case yesterday, "sometime before 3, but they'll call 20 minutes… Continue reading The enemy of time blocking
Hope you all had a great start to your week. Monday is in the books. It was a good day around here...I really wanted to start the week off strong. I had just wrapped up one "section" of some work on Friday and was starting on something new yesterday, so it felt fresh... which inspired… Continue reading Birthday gifts and sleepless nights
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
Yesterday was a day that felt longer than most. Not in a bad way, but it just seemed to have significantly more hours in it than other days. This is, of course, not true- though I suppose it technically had more waking hours for me than some days. I was up at 5:30 a.m. and… Continue reading A day with many hours
Happy Friday. This was nice, solid week- fairly uneventful- and leading into a pretty open, probably fairly uneventful weekend. That's cool with me. 🙂 Asher pre-weekending on early release Thursday after school. He is my hot tub kid. He loves it! Went in by himself because I just couldn't really break from work right then....… Continue reading Reading speed, running and volcanoes
"Your first thought in the morning should be "thank you". You can choose whatever you want for the second." We definitely should be saying "thank you" every morning. God (or whatever/whoever you personally believe in) has granted us another day to be alive!!!! That is pretty awesome and amazing. Today is Thursday. I like Thursdays.… Continue reading Misc. Thursday thoughts & family rulings
As you know, I like getting up pretty early and I LOVE my morning routine time. But there is one thing that annoys me sometimes when I listen to podcasts/ read articles about starting or improving a morning routine. I feel like oftentimes people seem to completely forget about these little things called "transitions". For… Continue reading A pet peeve about advice on morning routines
One very fun thing about keeping any kind of journal or written record of your life is being able to look back on it. Since we are sitting right around the 1 year mark now for the whole Coronavirus situation exploding in our faces, I decided to look back on what I was thinking at… Continue reading Quoting myself from 2020
Sorry I didn't hop on here yesterday. I woke up and decided that this was going to win for how I wanted to spend my little morning time: Hot tub at 6:30 a.m. with tea + audiobook again 🙂 By the time I was done, I didn't feel like blogging and all of that. It's… Continue reading February books
🔷 Even though I don't really mind winter, there is something about those first "warmer", sunny days that hint of spring that is really quite amazing. 😊 🔷 Driving kids to activities is a double edged sword- on the one hand, some of the best conversations seem to happen in the car + the kids… Continue reading A week in sentences
