I am definitely going to do this. I usually end up staying up late at night to have some quiet time but then I am exhausted the next day. I will start planning my highlights so I can go to bed earlier without feeling like I have missed out on "me" time. It's important to have things to look forward to. Thank you for the reminder.

Let me know how you go! Me time is precious isn’t it? xo

It sure is. I am an introvert so I find I need quiet like I need oxygen but I don't always prioritise it. BTW I have also started walking in the bush more as per one of your previous posts. I really enjoy what you are doing here. Thank you

I love this idea! My work schedule is changing in a way that requires a lot of travel. It's draining and I've been trying to find a way to enjoy this transition more. Intentionally creating high lights sounds like it could be a real help.

Travel is tough, I’ve deliberately said no to opportunities that require travel, with kids and a farm it is too much (perhaps also, I am just a virgo who does not like leaving home) - I hope planning highlights helps!

That's a lot of reading! I read 417 posts across my two accounts, but I didn't start on Substack until the end of May. Starting a new job is challenging! I'm wondering how I worked full-time, took care of kids, and kept up with the house. I think things are settling in nicely, and I'll be able to get some things done around the house that I've been neglecting, but I've also felt scattered at times. I'll give your suggestion a try. Enjoy the weekend!

“Kept up with the house” that is definitely not on my list of talents! I’d love to hear how the daily highlight goes for you - keep me posted!
