Hold That Thought

---

Hello Reader,

These past two weeks I've been packing, cleaning, carrying, sweating, hydrating, and all things to do with moving into my new house.* Which also means a lot of planning, deciding, organising, and simplifying.

Here are three things on that last bit to turn overthinking into expert thinking:

1. ​The Coffee Beans Procedure is a way to unpack all those boxes in your head containing ideas about what you should be doing with your life. By Adam Mastroianni on Substack.
   ​
2. When you add a task to your calendar, get started on a project, or sit down to write, what is it that you're actually asking of yourself?​
   ​
3. “Working smarter is the most valuable form of working harder.” — Shane Parrish, host of The Knowledge Project podcast​

This week's underthinking link offers a bit of perspective about time and our place in it: history of Earth in a 24-hour clock​

Extra thoughts…

The underthinking link this week is a bit of a misnomer, but I've been wanting to share it for a while and now's the time!

Back to unpacking boxes for me.

Take carea break,
Kim

PS. What would you do with this nook in our small living room?

*For those keeping track, this is my 16th move in 15 years of living in the UK. I plan on staying here indefinitely, so open to the long-term ideas for this nook!

Hello! I'm Kim and I’ve spent over four decades overthinking absolutely everything. Here's how I made sense of it all.
