Action Steps, Efficiency, Planning, Spread Your Wings, Sunday, Weekly Challenge

Weekly Challenge: This week, take the time to plan something. It doesn’t matter what project it is. It could be complex or simple. Take the time to really think through the action steps and map out how you will finish this task. (Hint: I think you’ll find that you will achieve what you are looking to do much more quickly by taking the time up front to think through what you are going to do to achieve your ends).

In the comments, tell me what project you tackled and how this process helped.

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Spread Your Wings Sunday – Day Off

Tags

Chill out, Day Off, Do Nothing Day, Relax, self-care, Spread Your Wings, Sunday

Challenge: Take a day off. I mean it. You work hard. You are stressed out. Take a day off to do whatever you want to. Ignore your to-do list, ignore what you feel you have to do, and just do nothing. I do this every Sunday and it is so refreshing.

In the comments, tell me what you did. Did you go on an adventure? Did you relax with a good book and a beverage? Did you get a massage? What did you do on your “do nothing day”?

Until next time…

Weekly Challenge: This week, read about one person in history that you admire and want to know more about.

I read about Rudyard Kipling, who was a Noble Laureat. Rudyard Kipling is the author of The Jungle Book, for those of you who know the multiple Disney films.

Have a great Sunday, folks!

Until next time…

Weekly Challenge: This week, find one article on History, Art, Music, Poetry, or Spirituality and read it in its entirety. Pick a topic you have not read before, or you read very little of. Post the link to your article in the comments.

This is a great way to open your mind to other ideas. Have fun!

This week’s challenge is easy: Do something nice for your Dad or Father figure this week.

Today, we celebrate Father’s Day! My Dad loves to read, loves steak, and loves YouTube. So we got him a bunch of books from the Star Carrier Series and Mom is making Steak for dinner.

If you have any special, Father’s Day stories, feel free to share then in the comments.

Until next time…

Another week of 2020 is in the dust. This week’s challenge, should you choose to accept it: Write a letter of support to your local law enforcement. They have been getting beat up in the news and literally everywhere. I’m going to write my local P.D. and tell them how much I appreciate the work they do.

Have a great Sunday, folks!

Until next time…

Week of May 31, 2020 challenge: Call a family member you haven’t talked with in a while and check in to make sure they are OK. Both COVID and the recent riots are probably putting a lot of folks in danger. Wish them well and ask them if they need anything.

In the comments, reply with whom you talked with and how it went.

Until next time…

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Storytime Sunday – New Posting

Tags

Entertaining, Fun, Monthly, New Posting, Short Story, Story telling, Sunday

Folks, I had this idea a few months ago and I’m going to give it a shot. Initially, I’ll commit to one short story per month. If I can pull that off, I’ll begin bi-monthly posts, perhaps weekly, if I have enough ideas. We’ll see. I just wanted to give everyone a head’s up, so you can keep an eye out for it.

This is going to be fun!

Until next time…

April 26, change, Lockdown, new generation, Sunday, Weekly Challenge

Here we are! One more week passes us by in lockdown. It’ll be interesting when generations are born that don’t know anything about this. Whatever we decide to do as a society on the upcoming months may require permanent changes in how we work, how we play, how we socialize, and to a new generation born outside of this, it’ll all seem normal. The changes we make as a society won’t be a change to them. It’ll be normal. Crazy, right?

Change is inevitable in this world. In fact, it is something you can count on. Changes in relationships, changes in jobs, changes in health, changes in interests, change, change, change. Why do we fight it? Why not accept what is and adapt to the new circumstances? Because we’re human. We like consistency. We like things to stay the same.

This week, let’s mix it up a bit. The challenge is simple.

Weekly Challenge: Change one thing in your life, your daily routine, or your schedule. Do something that is different every day for a week. Reply in the comments with what you came up with, regardless of how small it was.

Until next time…
