This is when I tell you stuff and don’t make a story of it.

ONE
I think that this month I’ll try Susannah Conway’s The August Break [#augustbreak2019] photo prompts on Instagram [also on Facebook if that’s your jam].
Janet at Janet’s Smiles made me aware of this challenge. No pressure, no hype– just a chance to do something creative and different than my usual lackadaisical approach to sharing pics over on my IG account [@thespectacledbean].
I’ve never tried anything like this before, so I anticipate some anxiety at first, but I imagine I can follow through and do this more or less daily.
TWO
I think that the idea of learning to batch your time is intriguing.
A friend mentioned this concept to me so I did some research. According to a productivity hack from Brazen, batching: “allows you to take advantage of your full concentration by grouping a bunch of similar activities together and doing them all at the same time.” [More here and here.]
I’m sure I do this naturally in some areas of my life already, but I could apply this concept to how I blog.
THREE
I think that Dead to Me is a wonderful TV show that just goes to prove great TV is possible.
I watched the 10 episodes in a 2-day binge. This show, starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini, is funny + sad + clever + outrageous. I won’t go into the deets about the plot, the characters, the settings but I will say that I didn’t see the ending coming. And I loved it.
There’s nothing better than being pleasantly surprised by something unexpectedly smart.
