{time} What sparks joy with your time?
It’s important to me to regularly take stock so that I remain intentional about the choices I make around how to spend my time.
In Marie Kondo’s book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (you can read about the physical aspects of tidying by clicking the button on the sidebar —–>>), she says that once your physical space is tidied, you start thinking through bigger issues in your life.
I found this true for me too as in 2014 I completed my ...
