I stumbled across a nifty little tool in the to do application that I use that I just have to pass along. I am currently using Toodledo (affiliate link) for my to do list. I have been using this application for a long time, so it’s always surprising to find new features that I wasn’t aware of…
This is a quick tip for those of you that have some sort of to do list/tickler file (and if that’s not you, please tell me your secret to not having one!) I’ve taken up running the last couple years and there is a big race in the spring that I’ve decided to…
I spent most of last year trying to “catch up” on blog posts. I had a huge goal to stay one month ahead on blog posts and I miraculously did this for most of the first half of the year. I eventually slipped, however, and spent the rest of the year trying to play catchup…
Listening to one of my favorite books while I was working out a few weeks ago I came across a lovely gem of an idea that I had to pass on. In Gary John Bishop’s book, Unfu*k Yourself, he talks about how when Michelangelo was sculpting the David, he was in fact uncovering David from the…
This week is the week between Christmas and New Years. It’s always such a weird week for me. My brain tends to forget which day it is and what exactly is happening. I find myself often thinking “Okay, what are we doing? When is New Year’s Eve? Are we there yet?” I typically take the…
I’ve noticed something lately that’s really made me take notice and wonder if I’m the only one. Every time we go out of town to visit family, or go out camping, or travel, or have a big holiday, I always see that day after we return as a huge DAY ONE. I get into…
Sometimes it’s so funny how life works. This probably won’t be my most thought-out blog post or my meatiest, but I just had to get something out there about what happened earlier this week. For the last few years, I’ve really struggled with keeping my house in a reasonably-clean state. My husband and I work…
I have this really bad habit lately of focusing on planning instead of the doing. Do you do that? I sat down this week to try to really spell out all of my goals, timelines, milestones, and dreams and then map out steps to achieve them. I focused on three steps that would help me…
Apparently from my last post in February, I was back. Or more like, baaaaack. Was I though? No, it has been determined I was, in fact, not back. It’s been. A. Year. Just to catch up, a few weeks after my last post, lock downs hit due to COVID-19. School became remote. Toilet paper was…
Hey friends. As you may (or may not) know, I (try my best to) follow the 12 Week Year planning system. I’ve talked about it before, but essentially, you work on goals in chunks of 12 weeks and then re-evaluate in the 13th week and start again. The idea is that instead of waiting for…
