This Nudge is designed to get me to do two things I love doing: exercise outside and share some one-on-one time with good friends. These past couple of years my walks have been mostly solo and mostly along the same routes. This week I'm going to motivate myself to break up those routines. Honestly, I need something to look forward to. Knowing I'm going to meet up with someone speci[...]

This Nudge is inspired by my ongoing efforts to declutter (letters, papers, decades of work notes), as well as ongoing deep dives into who I have been and who I might want to become. Many of my original Nudges came from thinking back on activities I enjoyed doing as a kid and young adult (creating chalk drawings, baking, dancing around the house, learning foreign languages). Nudges give m[...]

I have a list of affirmations I read through daily, mostly around the Law of Attraction. “I am productive and prosperous!” “I dare to affirm Big Ideas. I dare to expect Big Results!” “I now joyfully accept new creative work.” The idea behind this week’s Nudge is to pick one—or pick something I want to manifest—and double-down on it. Light the candles, focus my prayers[...]
Hey, there! Thank you for subscribing to the new 52Nudges page! As you may have realized, the first two posts from this new site did notgo out as planned, and Bruce (our website god!) and I have spent hours (days!) tryingto figure out the issues and fix them. Fingers crossed.... In case you missed them, I invite you to check out this week’s earlier posts here: Welcome to the New 52Nu[...]

Many years ago, upon returning home from a vacation in France, I thought about what had been so special about our experiences—specifically, what were some practices or rituals I could continue back at home. One that had a huge impact was how we eased into dinnertime. For several weeks after that trip, instead of my usual dash from office to kitchen at 6:00 pm (or 7 or 8), I made a po[...]
I had to look back at my notes to remind myself why I included this nudge, and I'm sorry to report they aren't particularly inspiring: "Clear it off or clean it up." Geez. But if I've learned anything during these past several years of nudging, sometimes the "simplest" challenge reveals a deeper significance. And as I sit here considering what I might do, I think perhaps "I" might be t[...]
