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[...]
Can't plan, can't overthink. Let's do something FUN! What Happened: Not long ago, I got news about the reopening of a classic bar in the newly remodeled Beacon Grand Hotel. DATE NIGHT! I dressed up and met Thor there after work, where we enjoyed craft cocktails and soaked in all the fab ambiance. Sip and savor. And then...we gave into the spirit of spontaneity again and took ours[...]

This Nudge is a late addition to my list, inspired by the sweet family across the street who recently welcomed a baby. There are many layers to why I'm doing this. 1) I want to help. 2) I often think about how I'd be helping friends of all ages if we lived closer to each other. Because I can't be there in person for several people I love, I like to imagine I'm adding service to the bi[...]

By Sandelle Kincaid, Guest Nudger In my classroom, there hangs a small sign: “Democracy is not a spectator sport—VOTE!” Of course, my 9th grade students are too young to vote yet, but I want them to start thinking about their own involvement in our civic life. As we’ve seen over the past several years, our democracy is not self-perpetuating; it is not something set in sto[...]
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[...]
