Cutting Myself Some Slack
Posted in Other, tagged #365Ways, chilling, creativity, Thoughts, treats on October 31, 2021| Leave a Comment »
It’s Sunday. I had plans and a to-do list and I’m getting some things done, but today I’m cutting myself some slack.
Do I need a little break? I do. Will it help get me back into gear and enhance productivity later? Probably.
Or maybe not. I still need that break.
For the sake of happiness and productivity, our goal should not be to squeeze every second of distraction and leisure out of our days.
— Arthur C. Brooks, The Best Ways to Waste Time – The Atlantic
So I’ll spend at least part of my afternoon reading, drinking a smoked yaupon tea with whole milk and maple syrup, maybe have a treat, like one of the donuts we picked up yesterday. I’ll also check every half hour to see if we’ve managed to trap that last kitten, and generally take things slow.
…
Who am I kidding, of course I’ll have that donut!
Here’s hoping your day is good too.

Chilling, Apparently
Posted in Likes, Writing, tagged #365Ways, chilling, reading, Sunday on February 28, 2021| 1 Comment »
Apparently, we are chilling today.
Mostly, anyway. I’ve accomplished a few things and had planned to plan my next month of writing work, but I’m really just having fun reading.
What else? In keeping with the chilling theme, I may design a few icebergs, because what better art project on a snowy day?
Later, I’ll give Mr. Man a haircut (while appreciating the talents of his regular barber, who does the job roughly 4 million times faster than I do). And then I may do a little design work. Or learn about household economics in early nineteenth-century England. Or shovel some snow. Or find my second-favorite biscuit recipe. Or pack and freeze a 25-pound bag of flour.
Or maybe not. I’ve got a book to finish.
