Could have picked a better season for this, but here goes. The full Nudge reads "Have breakfast or lunch in the backyard at least 1x." The point, I think, is to mix things up, change the scenery, mess with my routine. As always, make this your own. Have a great week! What Happened: I checked off this Nudge early in the week, with breakfast at my bistro table, since I can't rely[...]

Today is Boss's Day, and what better day to splurge on something for my fabulous boss--who happens to be me! :-) Actually, the full Nudge I drew this morning is "Splurge on something from the beauty supply store." Okay. I can't recall why I was so specific, but I'm going to follow instructions. One other "rule" I need to follow is that I can't spend more than $20. This is good, beca[...]

Honestly, I got pretty burned out pretty fast with all the Zoom meetups (and virtual cocktail hours/club meetings/reunions/"parties") in the early days of COVID. They left me feeling empty. But I also value how technology has allowed me to keep up with family and friends across miles, if not oceans. So this week, I'm nudging myself to reach out and virtually touch someone who is far aw[...]

I actually have two white boards in my office: one is a calendar format and the other is a big space where I scribble personal and professional goals, to-dos, and affirmations. Not sure which one I'll wipe clean today, but the plan is to leave it blank till the end of the week before deciding what I'll use it for moving forward. Clean slate, pretty literally. What might you clear th[...]
Back in August, Guest Nudger Judith Alex invited us to "Do something touristy" with her. I was so inspired by what she wrote, that I started looking for new adventures I could do close to home. Included in her story was a mention of the Greenwich Street Steps. San Francisco has several famous staircases, some that wind alongside hidden gardens, some that reveal exceptional views. "I w[...]

A year or so ago (okay, early-pandemic), I set myself up with a project to go through all of my recipes--books, cards, clippings, scribbled notes on napkins--and get them organized. I'm still working on it. So, this week, I'm going to set aside time every day to work on this. This Nudge is part decluttering, but it's also a big part inspiration, as I hope I will find the energy to[...]
