Omit to Commit is all about the resources needed to opt into (and out of) behaviors, such as time, traditions (individual or group behaviors), trust, and treasures. By regularly making and breaking habits, life becomes more fulfilling and satisfying. I’m drafting a book called Omit to Commit, and in 2023, I’m posting research on the…

Experiment: Empower and Reclaim
Last month’s experiment was empower, focused on my intra and interpersonal relationships. It led to so many questions. What am I empowered to change in my own life? How can I show up as my full self, at my various professional roles, within my new relationship, while being a student, at church, and while volunteering…
Inner Compass: Movement, Making Meaning, Minimizing
Welcome back to my explorations of my phrase for 2023: inner compass! Diving into what, who, and where matters to me has been a thoughtful challenge every month this year. I’m onto M of INNER COMPASS. Maui the wonder pup is ever watchful as I type away, sniffing my coffee. For much of summer, my…

After last week’s attempt at standardizing schedules, including overtly adding that includes writing more regularly, it’s been an awesome week. I’m trying to keep some routines going during this time: My…
A minimalist INFJ’s lessons from a big life change
I’m not much of a procrastinator, but I have learned a lot about myself in the last couple of days, so I apologize for the delay in blogging. No excuses. Instead, here’s some life updates, tossed in with some lessons about myself. I crave time. I measure A LOT. I do things by time: Runs,…
A minimalist’s guide to habit building
2021 has been so fruitful for goals. I think that’s because I build habits that sustain them. The goals are SMART so I can clearly see when I’ve missed a day or not. While I’ve logged daily, I am simultaneously getting bored by the format while also seeing the weekly/monthly goals are tougher to quickly…
