1. There are 86,000 plane voyages in the United States on any given day.
The likelihood of something bad happening on mine is pretty slim.
2. Dan cannot be trusted to take a good picture of me as Frida Kahlo.
Eventually I'll figure out how to get pictures on this blog and you will realize that I'm righ ton this one.
3. A lot of my "needs" aren't really "needs".
I've been participating in the Uber Frugal Month challenge, and while I've had my slip ups (PF Chang's delivery after a long day at work on Monday when Dan wasn't home to cook for me) I've mostly done well, and have spent ~$1k less than usual. Granted, I'm about to go drop $500 on an Apple Watch and another $200ish on a travel carry on bag LITERALLY this weekend... but I don't buy those things every month. My random Amazon and QVC purchases are down to ZERO this month (yay!) and I'm hoping to keep it close to that level in the future so that this is sustainable... but with more PF Changs.
An Apple Watch aside: I've had my generation zero apple watch for three years, and while it still works as a watch it definitely does not track all of my steps, and will periodically shut off in the middle of the day. When I look at this as an investment, if the $500 Apple Watch lasts me another three years, I'm spending 45 cents each day on my watch. And I definitely get more enjoyment/use out of it than 45 cents per day... which equates to a few minutes of "work time".
4. Let it go.
Always, always, ALWAYS refining this. The more aware I am that I should be letting things go, the easier it is for me to do it. My natural instinct is to hold onto things - what if I need to worry about it later??? So this is a constant process I've been working on in therapy for... I think around 2 years. I'm finally ready for it and have done so much better this month.
5. Inbox zero is a lie.
I may be wrong but these are my thoughts: Show me a person who consistently is at Inbox Zero and I'll show you someone who either gets no emails or spends way too much time on email.
