Euchre

nothing quite like this card game, popular in the Midwest. Once you learn it, you feel like you’re a part of a secret club, but it’s also really fun.

anomia

lately a fav party game of my friends - take turns drawing cards with a category + symbol and if your symbol matches someone else you have to name something in their category before they name something in yours! the categories are mostly broad (like superheroes or hairstyles) so it's not so much about knowing trivia as it is about being fast which is nice my fav party board games are usually word games but if people aren't into things like codenames/scrabble this one is adjacent but separate enough and easy as hell to learn

Understand why you can’T let go.

Do you feel like there were missed opportunities? Why? - How to deal: Internalize that life is a series of random events with outcomes you have minimal control over. You have control over how you cope with those outcomes. You have control over what situations you put yourself in to create better random events. - Books: The Art of Possibility by Benjamin Zander You feel overwhelmed or hopeless about current events? You want to go back to “better times.” - How to deal: There’s no such thing as “better times,” just times where we were less bombarded by an endless news cycle. Sensationalism sells - replace fast bites with documentaries and books. - Books: Same as Ever by Morgan Housel; Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker You feel anxious about your current situation? You want to go back to “better times.” - How to deal: Stop doomscrolling social media. Stop looking at what others have with envy - they made their own sacrifices that you probably don’t want to make. They’re likely living outside their means. There’s no such thing as “too late,” you’re just as capable now at starting from scratch as you were when you first started the journey you’re currently on. You feel anxious about an unknown future? - How to deal: The best way to shape this future and remove the “unknown” is reflecting on what YOUR personal priorities are, having an honest conversation about what goals do or don’t fit with those priorities and value, setting realistic goals, and putting together a plan that breaks your goals into steps that you can form habits around. Progress is better than perfection. Stop and appreciate what you have on the way to achieving your goals. - Books: Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman

Organizing my life

1) Digital detox one day a month: exercise, sauna, meditation, reflection on goals and journaling, read a book, no phone. 2) Quick clean 15 minutes a day: Spread bed; clear the sink; wipe down tables. 3) One organizing project every Sundays (write it down and rotate): clear inbox / unsubscribe; organize kitchen / entry / bathroom / living room / bedroom; shred and file physical papers; repair clothes / clean shoes; organize digital files; organize photos on phone / computer; clean up passwords. 4) Throw/donate a little every day. Use the beauty products I have until empty before buying anything new.
