Welcome to the Saturday recap. Enjoy!
Personal Development
This week, the blog dives into the concept of “nesting”. We consider what nesting is, how can it be harnessed, and determining if the concept could be leveraged in your life right now.
Tending to the Nest. This first post of the week considers different life stages where “nesting” occurs. From our first home to downsizing and all the other moments of life.
Nesting at Work. This post considers what the concept of nesting might look like at work. Organizing, planning, and clearing tasks may all be forms of nesting.
Nest Building Has Become Complicated. Our lives are no longer the liner patterns of the past – graduation, marriage, children – with their associated “gifting” opportunities to help us nest. With patterns out of order, how is nesting changing?
Can Nesting Cure Procrastination? With the idea that nesting involves planning, clearing, and organizing, this post explores if this can be applied to a task or project we are procrastinating.
Nesting Across the Decades. The final post of the week considers how the concept of nesting might support us over our lifetime to make our homes better fit our current lifestage.
One Shade Greener
This week, the post – Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas – delivers exactly what the title promises, gift ideas for the upcoming holiday. From the traditional flowers and cards to unique ideas like a home spa day, I hope you will find some inspiration and new brands to consider.
If your sweetheart is interested in sustainability, One Shade Greener at Home, could be a perfect companion gift for Valentine’s Day.
PodList
This week, there are five podcasts on the list. I hope you find at least one you connect with.
The Perennials: The Megatrends Creating a Post generational Society. 12 minutes. The Next Big Idea Daily. This was a fascinating listen focused on how life and work are changing as lifespans are increasing and technology is advancing.
What if We Only Bought the Stuff We Love. 10 minutes. Optimal Living Daily. This podcast shifts our thinking on what we buy and why we buy it.
Nobility in Small Things: A Surgeon’s Path. 14 minutes. The Next Big Idea Daily. This episode discusses how wellness is not a goal, it’s a passage – wellness and burnout are not binary.
The final recommendation this week is a flight of two podcasts that provide ideas for the “emergencies” in our life. This is Not a Real Emergency. 6 minutes. Before Breakfast. And, When You’re Juggling All the Balls and it Feels Like They are Slipping. 9 minutes. Pressing Pause.
