You know that little task on your to-do list—the one that takes maybe two minutes? Knocking it out right away isn’t just efficient, it’s energizing. Starting with a quick win creates momentum. It shifts your focus from planning to doing, and clears out that low-level mental clutter we tend to carry around. Because let’s be honest: reviewing it, slotting it into a calendar, then circling back later… that’s often procrastination dressed up as productivity. When we take quick action, we send ourselves a simple but powerful message: “You’ve got this.” And that encouragement ripples through the rest of the day. Efficiency isn’t about rushing—it’s about alignment. Small actions that move us forward with intention. 💫

I've had tumblr, on and off, since 2009 and I've been sharing my silly little thoughts on this silly little blog for 13 years. (And in doing so, I think I've made an invaluable space of self reflection...I don't actually think they're silly thoughts...except for maybe that one phase where I was obsessed with eggs) Having access to musings from your college days is ... enlightening? If anything, it's a good practice in self love, because WOW it takes effort to read my 19-year old opinions without crumbling internally. But I'd say it's also healing when you realize you've achieved a lot of goals that you once thought were impossible to reach. While the actual act of sorting through my archives was exhausting (again..13 years) I'm glad I did it. I'm glad I reminded myself of why this space is so important. I hope it's there for another decade to reflect back onto. For now I can share some general musings from the past two years: - I started 2020 without a career (and honestly that's still tbd) - Isolation and quarantine began during my first year of being married -Interracial marriages have very interesting nuances to navigate when it comes to extended family. - I reconnected with cousins and family that I hadn't been able to see for ten years. - A close friend, who I thought I would grow old with, parted ways with me. I'm thankful for what we had and nothing can change my mind on that. - I turned 30 and realized that some of the friends who stuck with me through these past three years are the most irreplaceable and remarkable people I have ever met.
