30 More Days at Home? What an Opportunity.

Apr 15, 2020
1 min read

The latest news is that we’ll be “sheltering in place” at least through mid-May. That gives us 30 more days of being home. Thirty more days of watching our roots grow out, watching the sun rise and set from our windows, and discovering new ways to prepare canned legumes. It also gives us an opportunity. How many times over the years have you thought, “I wish I had time to paint the living room.” “I wish I had time start writing my novel.”

Guess what? Now you do.

As tough as these circumstances are with so much out of our control, what if we looked at it from what we can control. We can pick up a book and start reading. We can go through our sweaters and get rid of what we no longer wear.

It’s hard to get motivated, I know, I’ve been working from home for years, but some day (hopefully soon) we will have to once again set an alarm, wash our hair, and put on clothes other than sweats. How will you feel if you look back at this time and think, “I wish I had done (fill in the blank) while I was home.”

Guess what? Now you can.

Write down one thing you’d like to accomplish then picture yourself on May 15 having completed that task. Or at least started it. Whether it’s clean out the garage or lose weight, the hardest step is simply the first. Once you see the slightest sign of progress, you’ll be motivated to keep going.

Try this. Set aside 45 minutes a day toward your goal. Set the timer on your phone and begin. When the timer goes off, pat yourself on the back and resume your Netflix binging. You might have only made a slight dent, but you’ve at least begun; that’s half the battle. Of course, you can always reset the timer and go again.

Because guess what? It’s up to you.

What would you like to accomplish by May 15? Feel free to share it with me. And if you need help on how or where to begin, just ask.

Stay safe. Felice

A simple installation guide should explain what users need before they begin, rather than leaving them to guess along the way. When reviewing the Yay Win Download Steps, I would look for clear explanations about the file, device requirements, and any settings that might need attention. Android users should be especially careful if installation requires allowing apps from unknown sources. Understanding why a setting is requested is important. A careful, step-by-step approach gives users more control over the process and helps them avoid making changes they do not understand.

In kart bros, you get to race around increasingly harder tracks as you go through a number of levels. Each race calls for a unique blend of driving strategy and lightning reflexes, whether it's a simple circuit or an intricate one riddled with obstacles.

Water leaks can develop in visible fixtures or hidden sections of a plumbing system. Even a small leak may waste considerable water over time and contribute to damp walls, damaged flooring, or mold growth. Monitoring water bills and checking exposed pipes can help homeowners recognize warning signs. Professional leak detection identifies the source of the problem and supports accurate repairs. Addressing leaks promptly protects building materials, improves water conservation, and plumbinc helps prevent larger repair expenses later.

The 45-minute timer idea is practical, but I wonder whether the real obstacle is motivation or the guilt that comes when we don't meet our own expectations. Framing the goal as something we choose rather than something we should do might make it easier to start. Also, is one big goal better than a few small ones, since finishing something small could build more momentum than a large task that stays unfinished?
