I'm doing 26 things
I have three, the last one a girl not really planned for, but when you start, it is very hard to stop! It’s pretty magic watching their personalities take root, small copies of you running amok around the house. Just remember that it is hard work too, alot of sleepless nights, and it can be hard to put your own dreams and wants on hold (trust me, you have to). I would recommend living alot and be secure in yourself before you get children, and I also helps if you have close friends and family close by to help out. And you have to be patient to be a parent. Today I tried reading a short text, perhaps 300 words, and it almost took me half an hour, because there are constant distractions, kids wanting this and that and falling over and pulling your sleve constantly. It is VERY frustrating, so my trick is usually to not plan any tasks that actually needs quiet/consentration, until the kids are in bed.

How I did it: I bought a used kayak after looking for a while. I don't like walking around the area I live in because it is rather noisy and hightly trafficated, but with a kayak I have a reason to pack up and go somewhere new, and explore areas I can't easily get on foot. I also don't like meeting strangers when I'm out in nature, and with a kayak I seldom get to close to others. I also made a choice to put less of my energy into work and to spen… Read how I did it…
