This week’s challenge is another easy one (maybe): Read a book that’s been sitting on your shelf, desk, or nightstand and finish it this week.
In the comments, tell me the book you read.
Until next time…

This week’s challenge involves a podcast. The challenge is to listen to a podcast whose political views are exactly opposite of yours. Example: If you like Rush Limbaugh or the Daily Wire, listen to an NPR podcast or a podcast from Rachel Maddow. You get the drift. If these are unfamiliar in your country, listen to someone you know believes 180 degrees differently. This isn’t to torture you, but to give you a chance to broaden your views.
When I first began this practice a while back, I could not stand listening to the podcast, but over time, I began to hear some things that made sense or questioned my view in a meaningful way.
Challenge: Listen to a podcast that supports political leanings opposite of yours. Just do it for a week. Give me the podcast you listened to in the comments.
My podcast is one of the ones I suggested: The Rachel Maddow Show. You should be able to find it on Apple, Spotify, and Google Play, for sure. I listen to her on Spotify.
Have a great week!
Until next time…

Ok, folks. Here we go for this week’s challenge: It’s simple because today is Mother’s Day.
Challenge: Do something extra nice for you Mom this week. Today is Mother’s Day, so you probably already have a card, and all the rest. This week do something unique to her. Maybe you connect via ZOOM or Skype, or maybe you send her a delightful gift, or maybe help her with a project you can work on while separated. Whatever you come up with, post in the comments. I’m curious to see what you come up with.
Until next time…

Another week passes by. This week, the challenge is another easy one. It is this:
Find a YouTube channel or website that offers you the opportunity to take a virtual tour of a museum. That’s it. Enjoy yourself. I’ve taken a few of these, and they are terrific.
Here’s one to get you started: The American Museum of Natural History
If you find one you like, put the link in your comment. I’d love to check out what you find. I hope you enjoy this. These tours are outstanding!
Until next time…

This week’s challenge: Go through your to-do list or create one. Then decide what is the most important thing to get done first, and so on. Prioritize the most important tasks you need to get done first, brainstorm and plan, and execute.
This will help you knock down that to-do list that continues to grow and get you back on track doing the most important stuff first. Procrastinators (like I used to be), tend to focus on the easy stuff, while those big, painful projects just sit there. Before you know it, the year is gone, and you still have those big things sitting there. Prioritize those big things and get’em done. You’ll feel great when you do. The easy little tasks will still be there when you’re done.
As always, if you do this challenge, reply to this posting in the comments. I’d like to hear how this helped you.
Until next time…
