Dreams of an alternate life
I like the work I do, but sometimes I wish I could have stayed in the sciences. My ideal would be a setting where I am confronted with a problem that requires me to meticulously look for a solution by consulting textbooks, case studies, and journals that are all laid out open on a table… — read more

Staying on track with house chores
I don’t dislike doing house chores, but I hate doing them at this very instant. Chores are essential and need to be done regularly, but just not now. That is my default mindset. That is why experts recommend that you write tasks and goals down. I have written things down in so many different ways… — read more

Two wins today
I had two wins today that I think are noteworthy. The first is that I got more chores done than expected, and they were surprisingly joyful to complete, and I attribute that to my planners. I’m glad I’m probably the only one reading this because I can’t imagine this being interesting to anyone but me.… — read more

Planning the week ahead
Since getting all my planners, today was the first time I sat down and planned out my week.

Armed with stickers and colored pens,… — read more

8th-Grade Graduation
Today was my nephew’s 8th-grade graduation. If there is one thing I am grateful about this pandemic is that it has taught me to appreciate family time much more.

I Bought a Bible
Yes, I went on Amazon and searched for a highly rated bible. I’ve written a handful of posts on my admiration of catholic traditions, church architecture, and sacred music. Yet, I have never bought a Bible for myself. The last Bible I owned is one issued by my high school, and I left it at… — read more

My new obsession with planners.
I’ve been missing in action over these last many days because I have taken a dive into the deep end of the world of planners. Who knew planning could be so much fun? I talked in my previous post about how I got sucked into it, but now I am a few planners into this… — read more

Budget planner
I’ve been neglecting my writing duties because I’ve stumbled upon the wonderful world of planners! I bought this budget planner because I get a little frustrated opening up multiple website to see my finances, and then reconciling them with a simple mental note that I soon forget. I’ve tried making spreadsheets, but when you spend… — read more

Ramblings about my day
I’ve been intentionally giving myself a little break from the daily posts since I am no longer attempting the daily challenge. I did, of course, manage to miss a few posts here and there in my challenge, but overall I am pretty satisfied with the result. I like having the freedom to write without the… — read more
