A pretty decent evening outside, finally
It’s been a long time since we’ve had decent weather of an evening, by which I mean that it’s not raining, not insanely hot (i.e. under 75) and not excessively humid. The humidity is still too high for my taste …
Writing? Maybe.
I read an article today about a CEO who intentionally spends a minimum of five minutes every evening journaling, writing down important things about the day’s events. This allows her to go back over these logs in the future, pulling …
