We're officially in a new year (resolution season), so it's time for an update with 5 helpful strategies I've been trying for the past few months.
If you haven't read about my window, do that first for context.

#adhd #gtd #resolutions Strategy 1: No "all-or-nothing" goals.
If I can't be perfect at it, my brain loses interest. If I fail the first week, it's all ruined.
So instead of shooting for the gym 3X/week, I commit to exercise 12X/month.
It allows for good and bad weeks and isn't strict on location.

We're moving into pumpkin-flavored Spooky Season™, but we're also moving toward colder weather and big holidays. It's likely that your local food banks and homeless shelters will need more support this year than ever before. What's the best way to help?
MONEY. I volunteer weekly at our food bank. I understand the warm fuzzy feelings around food and clothing drives. But your local nonprofits can make your resources stretch much further. And they can order what their clients actually need, not what you think they should need.

Several years ago, a neighbor kid kicked a football and shattered a small basement window. We were a family of six living on a teacher's salary at the time, so I boarded it up, thinking I'd get to it someday. The frame was rusted shut. I couldn't fix it.

1/ Over the years, I'd sometimes get estimates from window companies. Of course, the plan was to upgrade to energy-efficient windows for the whole house. $15,000. It was simply out of reach. In the meantime, the boarded window let in bugs but not light.

Church service occurred today for the first time since March. They divided our congregation into two sessions in order to keep numbers under 50. I was in both sessions because they needed an organist. Some observations: In the first service, every single person in the congregation wore a mask. There was a feeling of peace and solidarity. In the second session, about 1/5 of those in attendance refused to wear masks. The entire service felt tense and I couldn't wait to get out.
