I'm cozying in for winter, this week -- looking at a big pile of quick reads to help me get to my reading goal for the year, wrapping up the last couple pre-winter house projects, and letting go of a whole bunch of things that are no longer useful to me.
Some of the lessons I've learned this year:
* build habits, don't set goals (I already knew this,mostly, but it seems I need to keep expanding my understanding of it. Not just for household and health intentions, but also for things like playing board games or going on field trips)
* everything will take longer than I think it will -- don't try to do so much in an afternoon/week/year (again, I mostly already knew this, but I keep needing to expand my knowledge, apparently)
* almost nothing is as bad as it felt to spend so long putting it off and being afraid of it (phone calls, tax paperwork, uncomfortable conversations, medical appointments)
