Once told a guy I was on a road trip and he said, “wow not many people do those these days.” I recommend them and think more people should.

annual life check-ins
•••
Take a summer weekday off to check in on your life. Journal for awhile on questions from the mundane (“how’d I sleep” and “how’ve I been sleeping?”) to the profound (“am I on a path I like?” “What does a path I like even look like?”) Put the bedding in the wash because one of your rewards at the end of this day will be a fresh bed Audit your subscriptions - do you pay for what you want and need and nothing more? Get new insurance quotes and change your coverage as useful Change the car oil Clean the sink drains Schedule dentist and doctor appointments Etc Obviously some of these things can and should happen more than annually but having one summer weekday assigned to check in on your life is a new-to-me thing I’ve just realized is remarkably useful.

Second Use
•••
I bought a 1907 fixer upper with the knowledge there would be Stuff to Do. Second Use has provided, among other things: marble subway tile I tiled my kitchen with, half the Fireclay tile I tiled my bathroom with, the coolest vintage bathroom sink, wood doors from an old monastery I made into sliding doors for my bed and bathroom, bougie hardware for those doors, bougie drawer slides, teredo fir I used to make a fence, an F.Fabbian flush-mount I put up in my kitchen, and spalted maple for half my mantel (the other half is a black walnut slab a friend carried around for decades before he gave it to me). My house is real nice, thanks to a diy-can-do attitude and the magic of Second Use.
