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[...]

Today marks what would have been our 52nd Nudge of this round. But since we lost several weeks due to my Appendix Adventure and the Great Pause of 2022, we'll keep going till we've really, truly done 52, on January 22. Still, it feels appropriate that the Nudge I drew for this week calls for a celebration. Maybe I'll bake up a batch of festive cookies and invite the neighbors over for[...]

Pretty straightforward Nudge...or is it? Is this the week I check off something that has been on the home maintenance to-do list forever, or will I make a call in an effort to heal a rift in a relationship? Hope you find a meaningful way to nudge yourself this week. What Happened: I replaced a burned-out lightbulb. And then I replaced another. And that was that. The Ah-Hahs:[...]

There are two parts to this Nudge: 1. Make a list of local historic sites and/or museums I'd like to visit and 2. Make a plan to visit one. This was inspired by pretty much every vacation Thor and I have taken. We fill our itinerary with adventures and experiences, then at some point look at each other and say "Don't we have something like this at home?" Yep. So this is my first st[...]
