adopting this approach!! And the point about papers planners... I feel that. Gmail, Calendars and sticky notes are where my brain defaults yet I always feel the need to reinvent my life and buy a planner 😭

I love this! My list includes; I love nightshades, they absolutely hate me. Super chic wear is out, no matter how pretty, linen tea party dresses are in; gluten is not my friend, but gluten free bread is amazing; deepen relationships that are worthy and reciprocal of my time.❤️

I’m going to start a list.

I have a corollary to your donut point. They always smell better than they taste.

number one on my list is that I can do something for 100 days straight but if I break that streak on day 101 I will likely never go back to whatever it was I was doing (thank you duolingo for the streak freeze option)

I started a list like this at the start of the year of my ins and outs of my life and there’s already so many things on it.

I literally started making a list like this in my head today. I am the same age as you and I’m enjoying the feeling of knowing myself better that has come in my forties. Good luck on your creative pursuits!

-you will never consistently write in a journal. It sucks but it’s true.

-quit buying random things on Amazon. You want to save money and you are happy with what you have even if Amazon is trying to convince you that you are not lol

-mandarin doesn’t make you feel good no matter what you get

-same here with graphic tees and donuts

-you are not the best at consistently exercising. Sometimes a little bit when you can is enough.

-etc

I love this "list of what I know to be true" so, so much. A manual for the self, on the self. Thank you for sharing <3
