watch all seasons of 24 (read all 3 entries…)
Done 8 months ago

Tha last season was crappy, though. It started to get so patriotic and pompous that I couldn’t anymore really watch it seriously. And why the heck does the stupid Audrey need to be around still. Whack the whining stick insect finally

After more than a year of dancing I can safely say we both love it and don’t have any intention on giving up.



Stop worrying about everything constantly (read all 5 entries…)
Tools 8 months ago

I have noticed that “to do” lists are great – how immensely satisfying to tick the stuff off. Procrastination is the main source of worrying!

Another technique for just before falling asleep:

1. Think about your worries, make a list of them.
2. Divide the worries into two categories:
-The ones you can do something about
-The ones you can’t do anything about
3. Decide to actively work on the ones you can do something about. Decide what course of action you will take. Shrug your shoulders on the ones there’s nothing you can do about (those are almost never as bad as one thinks anyway)
4. In the morning: immediately take action as you decided last night

I find this very helpful.
