goldenthreads It's kind of a funny thing. I had the opportunity to join a writing class taught by an editor, but I know perfectly well that my squalor interferes with my writing. Plus, I am in my second year of Mindful Spending (my own thing), and nothing curbs tgespending urge better than looking closely at my current... inventory. TA-DAH 1. Up, showered, dressed 2. Sipping on a cup of yesterday's coffee 3. Charging phone and watch TO DO 1. Warm up car 2. Get the packages, payments, etc. ready for the day 3. Dress warmly,

Good afternoon, seahorse and missjean . missjean , One of the YouTubers I watch refers to what we do in our houses as managing inventory, as in How much inventory do you want to manage? Of course that's not what most of us want to spend our time or money on! I know what you mean about environment impinging on our efforts to settle into something like writing with a clear mind. All the best to you as you work through the course. Had my water. Put away the dry dishes. Took meds. 3 more things from the daily list.

Yes, she's one of the ones I watch regularly. I don't consider her camper camping exactly minimal, but what she's done in her house with her stuff and procedures is amazing! Made the bed--done hours ago, but I forgot to claim it. Started dishes soaking. Spent 5 minutes on insurance paper organizing. Do remaining things from the daily list. Update habit tracking in calendar.
