What is your favorite hobby or pastime? Little by little, I’ve been leaving my hobbies to the side. I used to write everyday, now I have pockets of time in which I don’t write. I can’t motivate. What I have been doing us watching old television shows and […]
What’s your #1 priority tomorrow? Some people schedule their days to the nanosecond. The calendar app screams with reminders, while to-do lists multiply like bunnies, each item sprouting sub-items that somehow create an endless flow of “must-dos” that all seem to want to be done right now. If […]
