That’s so awesome. I’ve been thinking about converting my lawn to clover, if nothing else to just not have to mow it as often. How often do you mow yours?

Anything you can do, I can do slower. I can do anything slower than you.

I just enjoyed the first cherry tomato of the season from my garden. And from the looks of the rest of the fruit developing on it, we’ll have many more in a couple more weeks.

I wonder how the author would compare their scheduled boredom breaks with something like meditation sessions. There’s been a lot of study showing the benefits of meditating.

I tend to be one of those people who wants to say yes to everything. That’s partially because I’m a people pleaser and don’t want to disappoint. But I’m trying to be better about protecting my time. If something doesn’t get a “hell yeah” gut reaction from me, it’s probably best that I decline. “Present me” tends to overestimate how excited “future me” will be about some commitment.

Having said that though, it should be a healthy balance I think. Some of the better experiences I’ve had have been ones where I was initially reluctant about them but ended up being glad I did them.

So… Balance. Protect your time. But it’s also okay to occasionally step out of the comfort zone.
