I'm feeling a little pressure with "good." How will I know?! I don't want to pick a book that sucks and be stuck with it! I need to let that stress go and focus on the point of this week's Nudge, which is to do something that breaks up my routine and gives me a break. My notes read "Sit, sip, read. That's it." What Happened: This was 100% treating myself to something nice. I got so[...]
Stumbled across this article, and it felt like an extension of our Nudges: "Meet the people who took an evening class...and changed their life" by Michael Segalov Is there something you're curious about? Have you always wanted to (fill in the blank)? Do you look at the local city college catalogue every term and think "Some day..."? Maybe today's the day you nudge yourself. Mayb[...]

This week's Nudge could be as simple as "Take down and put away the Christmas decorations." Check! But when I looked back at my notes for why I included this as Nudge, there's a deeper meaning for me. Our living room is where we--Thor, the dogs, and I--spend most of our time together. It's the heart of our home. I want this special place to feel loved and appreciated, so I'll be thinki[...]

I'm taking today off to be with my loved ones, and the rest of this week off to rest, review, and prepare for the new year. And so, no Nudge this week. Full pass. To Nudgers who celebrate today's holiday, I wish you a very Merry Christmas. To all, I wish you safe, healthy, happy, and fun new year. See you in 2023! xo Kathleen P.S. Look for a gift 52Nudges essay tomorrow![...]
I am my own boss, so I should be able to set my own schedule. I should be able to manage true work/life balance. Reality is a little trickier, however, as I sometimes say my third full-time job starts when my "work day" ends. But I think I can be better about letting client work drift into My Time. And that's what this week is about: to be intentional about working toward the 6:00 pm[...]

Several years ago, pre-COVID, Thor and I spent a long weekend in Portland, Oregon. Ahead of our trip, we asked friends what we should do while we were there, and several people suggested the Japanese Garden and the Rose Garden. Not really our thing, but we had a free day, so decided to check them out. Well...amazing! Breathtaking, mind-blowing, beautiful! At one point, probably around[...]
