December Break

I’m going to take a break for the month of December to work on upcoming posts. I feel that I short myself since I only work on them for a few minutes before posting.

Maybe I’ll keep up with the Motivation Monday and Feel Good Friday since I have enough pics to last for a while, and are easy to do.

Coffee

As I’ve mentioned before, I love coffee and recently I tried something new when making it.

I used to fill my coffee maker to the 8 cup mark with water and 5 scoops of beans. As of October 31st, its been 6 cups of water and 4 scoops of beans. The coffee still tastes the same and I finish off the pot more often.

Another perk is my can of coffee is lasting longer, instead of 2 weeks it’s 17 days. I’m hoping that I’ll only have to buy coffee once a month.

Writing Something Down On A Little Scrap Of Paper?

While giving my apartment a Fall cleaning, I found a pad of paper in my closet and little scraps of paper in my desk drawer. Inspired by treating myself to a Field Notes Space Pen, I decided to work my way through them.

Starting with a Staples memo pad which I’m using to take notes while listening to a TED Talk or Buddhist Talk. Also, To Do lists since writing it down works as a better reminder and motivator, plus there’s the satisfaction of crossing it off.


The pad is your standard 8 ½ by 11 but the sheets tear off at the top. I’m going to use these for my grocery list since I can fold them to fit in my pocket. I feel a Field Notes memo book doesn’t deserve to be reduced to a grocery list.

Treat Yo Self

As a fan of Parks and Recreation I like the episode with the first Treat Yo Self. Ben breaking down and crying because he bought the Batman suit is because we forget to take care of ourselves or do things to make us happy.

You have to be careful when treating yo self because as Donna and Tom said it’s the best day of the year. Treating yourself too often can be harmful. I used to keep Hershey Kisses in my freezer as a snack but soon found myself having more and more each night.

The best day to treat yo self, your birthday. That’s what I did recently and going to do from now on. A money saving tip that I’ve been using for a while can be applied to this also. It will be fun to put money into a ‘Treat Yo Self’ and watch it grow.
