I‘m happy that I have a better place to put my bathroom stuff now. Before, I was using the piece of furniture in between the bookshelves and that was fine but it wasn‘t enough room for everything I have so I decided to use these built in shelves in the second bedroom for my stuff. It‘s going to take me awhile to get used to this. I don‘t know why my mom and I didn‘t think of this before but it looks a lot more organized in the second bedroom now.
1. Repair café at the library fixed my mother‘s lamp.
2. My BuJo stickers from Etsy arrived.
3. Good food this week: curry chicken, sushi, loaded hotdog at the ballpark.
4. Deep cleaned the bathroom. Not a joy at the time but the result is.
5. Nationals finally won a game after eleven losses in a row.

pickUnlike many self-help/motivational books this one honestly had me chuckling in parts because it's written for normal people! I specifically loved the condensed pep talks in the back. I am a habitual over committer so I need all the help I can get.
so-so⭐️⭐️ The useful thing I took from this book was the suggestion to identify what‘s most important for you in this given period and to use that to make decisions about what to prioritize, and know that that may change from one period to the next. But overall, ugh, just so many lists, frameworks, and tortured acronyms to wade through with no payoff. PLAN stands for something but even after reading it I can‘t remember what. Between so-so and pan.
ebook: The Plan by Kendra Adachi
print: When We Left Cuba by Chanel Cleeton
audiobook: On Her Terms by Amy Spalding
Is this the same list as last week? Yes, but hopefully I'll finish all three this week.

You are in charge of your list. Your list is not in charge of you.
PART 1:I‘ve read 161 books so far this year and here are my top ten. It wasn't my favorite reading year, but it included so many rereads of my favorites for my milestone birthday. I'd love to hear your favorites!
1) The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer
2) The Six: The Untold Story of America's First Women Astronauts by Loren Grush
3) To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis
4) The PLAN by Kendra Adachi
5) Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams
pickI've had this one on my shelf for a long time after hearing about it on the What Should I Read Next podcast and finally got to it when it came up as November's #Bookspin. Really interesting discussion of what makes a city livable, healthy, and desirable. @TheAromaofBooks
pickI loved this book & had a chance to meet the author today! It focuses on time management, but from a woman‘s POV. She encouraged integration and leaning into each unique seasons instead of constantly striving to do everything all at once and be great all the time. I love that she includes details about monthly cycles and seasons to incorporate into your planning. There were so many helpful tips and I know I‘ll refer back to it frequently.
