SHOW NOTES Today’s episode is all about routines! First, I answer a listener question around weekend planning – how to avoid feeling like the time was wasted without locking yourself in to too many scheduled activities? Then, I move on to ROUTINES — why…
J / C / G went fishing (with our friends) and caught 0.77 lb of fish for our dinner. (This is in contrast to last year when they got multiple pounds and we ended up taking a bunch home!) Meanwhile the rest of us…
