I love this! And I totally get the done before noon thing with the top three. Not always possible, but somehow the afternoon and evening hours seem to float away so much more easily.
And that doggo...too cute to stay mad at for long!
It’s true. Winnie is lucky she’s so cute (yesterday I came home and she had jumped onto my desk, torn apart a cheeto bag and consumed half of it…wait, did I just admit to eating cheetos…???)
Such a good reminder! We have a new puppy so everything is out the window right now.
Re Gretchen: I’m an obliger with some rebel tendencies, and I’ve realized that many of my friends are upholders. I wish I were an upholder, but the truth is, I’m not!
And re watching, there’s a new season of Shrinking, which is sometimes silly, but I like the Ted Lasso/Bret Goldstein vibes. We also finally started watching Somebody Somewhere—I hadn’t realized that the Duplass brothers made it. It’s sweet and kind of melancholy.
A new puppy! Yes, that will throw schedules for a loop…everything in its season :) As for personality traits, yes, I think it wise to embrace “who we are” so we work with ourselves rather than against. Will check out the shows you recommended (I do love Harrison Ford so much). Oooh - I just discovered “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.” I read the book and so far the Netflix show is great!
I’ve heard the Commit to Three strategy before . I, like you, shocker!, definitely over estimate what I can get done in a day and need to remind myself to be realistic. Michael Hyatt also recommends “slaying your dragons” first thing - but I didn’t like the connotation - like the things most important to us need to be killed? I prefer “feed the dragons” or “feed the spirit”. Definitely getting better about doing those things first, when I have the most focus and energy. I can fold laundry and wash dishes after 6, when my energy plummets. My three priorities are often the same as yours - exercise, spirit, write. :)

Hahaha oh dog. And hey, cheetoh’s are delicious!
Love this! I've done various things with getting things done. I have that same quote from Atomic Habits on my desk! So many systems....
I love the top 3 and will start using that. Love that you use Nelson as an accountability partner. Maybe I might try that w one of my kids....
Fun to catch up w you from your send outs...!
So many systems…always trying to use time wisely and live a less frenetic life. Nelson is a good buddy. So excited about Dennison coming home!

Feed the spirit…I love that (of course I do :)
