How I did it
How to plant a weeping willow tree in the hallway outside my bedroom door
It took me
2 months
It made me
feel safer.

How I did it: In my thoughts, I planted that weeping willow tree in the hallway outside my bedroom door. I wanted a guardian to protect me from nightmares stemming from the trauma I endured. And my new weeping willow tree seems to have helped protect me from the terror of those dreams.The nightmares still do come occasionally, and I believe that it will be a long time before I am fully free from them. However, they are nothing like they were before I p… Read how I did it…

How to determine if I can try Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) classes
It took me
1 day
It made me
unhappy.

How I did it: I called the number of the organization that teaches DBT and inquired whether I could try a class without paying. I wanted this because of financial issues, so that I would not sign up for something that I could not do.However, one has to be enrolled in the program in order to go to classes. This is for confidentiality. I understand that. I did hope that I would be able to try.Calling was worth it. However, I am disappointed. Read how I did it…

How to learn how to make Lasagna
It took me
1 day
It made me
content.

How I did it: I found my family's recipe for making lasagna. I had not originally wanted to put in the required effort to make the lasagna, but I did want to learn.Making it was simple, although time-consuming. I followed the recipe as it was written. Currently my lasagna is in the oven. I will be glad when it is ready. Read how I did it…

make my own stuffed animal
Beginning. 4 days ago

I am making a terry cat from polar fleece. I chose the pattern a few days ago, asked for sewing assistance yesterday, and began the project today.

Progress includes:
1. Printing and cutting out the pattern.
2. Pinning the fabric.
3. Cutting out the pattern from the fabric.
4. Marking important points with different colors of thread.

It is a strange project for me. However, I am enjoying it. Today has been the best day I have had in months.

read twenty books this summer (read all 5 entries…)
It is no longer summer. 1 week ago

I stopped reading novels for a few months. However, now that I have returned to this goal, I am still counting books. Of what I have recorded, I have read fourteen books. I am in the process of reading another.

Book count: Fourteen.

make 333 lists on Listography
Currently. 1 week ago

I have now 235 lists, of which twenty-four have been made this month. I need to put more of my lists on Listography.

I also need to write all of my lists somewhere. That is a GTD basic called collecting—record everything in a place other than the mind. I would have many more lists if I did that.

If I need a more private place to store lists, I ought to use Gubb again.
