And then there are our phones. Oh, our phones. Those blessed, cursed, brilliant, soul-sucking devices. This little piece of plastic that stays near you at all times is, I feel, really at the bottom of all that I wrote before, and all I continue to write, and all the articles in the world that addressContinueContinue reading “Redeeming the Time Part 5: Phone Addiction”

Redeeming the Time Part 3: Shadow Work
I thought this deserved its own section because it is such a unique concept. One of the other articles I read from the website (yes, you may laugh), The Art of Manliness, discussed the idea of shadow work (Shadow Work and the Rise of Middle-Class Serfdom). Essentially, what they say is that, with the adventContinueContinue reading “Redeeming the Time Part 3: Shadow Work”
Redeeming the Time Part 2: The Ideal Worker
The book I mentioned in my last post, Overwhelmed, had some great points. I skipped a lot of the book because it seemed to overly focus on how stereotypes between men and women placed more pressure on women than men, and I wasn’t looking for an equality speech (can’t we women at some point takeContinueContinue reading “Redeeming the Time Part 2: The Ideal Worker”
Redeeming the Time Part 1: Introduction
I went to a Bible camp when I was . . . mm, probably like 16. It was a week-long of chapels, seminars, prayer time, etc. There is one thing that sticks out in my mind from that time over 15 years ago. It is a seminar called Redeeming the Time. He spoke on howContinueContinue reading “Redeeming the Time Part 1: Introduction”
Texas, Training, and Locks
Last week was spent in recovery mode, mostly. The week before that I was in Texas from Sunday – Sunday, and in 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM training Monday – Saturday. Now, I will be the first to admit that it was FUN training. To be paid by my company to go learn lock picking,ContinueContinue reading “Texas, Training, and Locks”
Playing Tourist
So, no, I haven’t kept up with my 10 minutes of writing a day for the last couple weeks. Buuut, I have a good excuse, honest. My older sister came to visit me for 10 days and, for those of you who don’t think that is a good enough excuse, let me clarify. This wasContinueContinue reading “Playing Tourist”
The Art of Perfectionism
(Take a breath. Get a drink. This is a long one. But it’s worth it. I promise think.) When I think of the perfect business woman, a very specific picture comes to mind. Someone who lives in a city, in a perfect apartment overlooking the city in which she works. She has perfect hair, perfectContinueContinue reading “The Art of Perfectionism”
Editing Challenge Days 9 – 13
Yeah, so I didn’t write Saturday and Sunday. I thought that I would have energy after cleaning to write for 10 minutes, but I was mistaken. I am sure that had nothing to do with scrubbing the kitchen floor until 3:00 AM Saturday night. But I wrote for a longer amount of time Monday andContinueContinue reading “Editing Challenge Days 9 – 13”
Editing Challenge Days 7 & 8 (And Spring Cleaning)
Okay, I failed – mostly. I did not write yesterday. But I did write today! For 20 minutes instead of 10 to make up for yesterday. I’m becoming rather pleased with the progress in the rewrite and am beginning to have rather high hopes for it. But I am sure you are curious as toContinueContinue reading “Editing Challenge Days 7 & 8 (And Spring Cleaning)”
Editing Challenge Days 5 & 6
I did actually do my 10 minutes yesterday, but didn’t get a chance to do a post. And I did them again today (just now!) So far, I am not super far in rewriting that scene, since I am doing it really in 10 minute increments, but it is interesting to me to see theContinueContinue reading “Editing Challenge Days 5 & 6”
