You strangle everything you cling to.

Our society is suffering from an illness called stuffitis.

You lose traction when you remove all friction.

When in doubt, don’t upgrade!

The only way to let go is to stop clinging.

It’s hard to find a needle in a haystack—even harder to find it in a needlestack.

If it’s not worth sorting through, it’s not worth keeping.

Internal clutter is a side effect of external clutter.

I really enjoy the discussion/ comments around unschooling and home education ( as it get called in the UK). Here are a couple of semi serious replies ( for those days when you don't have energy for serious discussion!) to the often repeated questions around this:- Q: but what about socialisation? A: Well we try to keep it under control and make sure we get some work done! Here's one from a friend who was asking the headteacher of a school if her home educated son could sit examinations at his school: Headteacher: well I'm not sure, I'll have to find out how this might affect our results statistics. Mum: That's ok we don't mind improving your statistics for you🙂 Enjoy your journey guys, it's a great rollercoaster!! X

Enjoyed the segment on re-thinking how we use our phones. I’m always looking to be more intentional with my usage. I wanted to offer a different perspective on the story of all parents on a phone at the park. I am a mainly stay-at-home parent with a few side gigs, some paid and some volunteer. My children are young and not in school, so I am around them all. the. time. I work hard to stay present and am rarely on my phone in front of them. When I need to get something done for my work, I could put them in from of the TV and work in my office. Instead, I often take them to the park to play outside while I answer emails, texts, research something etc. I probably look like a checked out parent and people could shake their heads at me. Also, in today’s society, parents are now expected to be ON for their kids constantly, curating playdates and Pinterest-worthy crafts and sometimes a mental break during the day is needed. I agree that scrolling is an epidemic and we should be cautious and intentional, but one can be a good parent and still need to take a break to read (which I do on my phone), catch up on news or even look at a dumb cat video. I think kindness, instead of judging, goes a long way in these scenarios.
