I came up with this Nudge while brainstorming ways to treat all my senses, in this case touch through textures. But now that I look at it, I see a great opportunity to weed out clothing from my closet and dresser that doesn't make me feel--as in emotionally feel--good. Let the decluttering begin!
In a previous round, a Nudge to "Take a Mental Health Day" led to my lying in the grass and watching the clouds go by, so I wanted to do it again. And, as I was thinking about how I might delight all my senses in round 4, this checked all the boxes: feeling the warmth from the sun, smelling the grass (especially fresh-cut), looking for shapes in the clouds. You get the idea. Let's get[...]

This Nudge was inspired by an article I wrote several months ago on tips for networking. I don't know about you, but I feel my networking muscles atrophied while we were sheltering-in-place, and I need some nudges to get back out there! One person I interviewed encouraged me to redefine networking not as a must-do for generating business, but as a way of connecting with good people, o[...]

This Nudge was inspired by my late friend Bev, who for years was part of an amazing book club. Each month, the hostess chose a book and planned a meal around it. A story set in Italy might be discussed over pasta and Chianti. A novel featuring a woman who moves to a small town and opens a bakery might be critiqued over a berry tart or gooey chocolate cupcakes. I miss dinner parties. I[...]

I almost took a pass on this one (remember, we’re allowed 4 during the year). My life has been insanely busy recently, and this week looks to be no exception. Take off a whole day and just relax? Oh, sure. And this is exactly why I’m accepting this Nudge. What did I call it in the last round? A “Spiritual Health Day”. My intention is to go with the flow for one full day with no[...]

This Nudge landed under my "sight" nudges (for this round's theme of delighting all my senses) because whenever I look around my office (and kitchen and dining room table), I am distracted by piles of stuff. It's stressful! I'd like my work and personal environments to be clean and calm (though not "minimalist," which actually stresses me out too). So, this week, I'm going to devote 1[...]
