I turned 50 last month and it seems my hip has decided I’m old! So, while I take it easy and heal, I’m setting myself the challenge of going through old paperwork! Letters, notes, statements, bills, recipes, kids school work… All the paperwork I have been ignoring and avoiding for years! It’s time. 10 minutes a day will make an impact!

@HowToGYST 4 месяца назад

A MASSIVE impact! Go you! And belated happy birthday. 🎂 My hips have already fired warning shots. 😂

I giggled when you said that borrowing books and reading books are two different things because it’s the same thing with fabric. Buying fabric and actually making something with it are two entirely different hobbies. You’ve inspired me to get going with all of the fabric projects that I’ve already bought for 😊

So pleased you're feeling good again - You're giddy with excitement for just life, its lovely to see. I left my job, without another, and am in the last 14 weeks of my masters. For May, no challenge for me, simply, my objective is to do something for health and college every day. Some days I'll get more of one or other - Its a very different pace of life for me.

I have one more to start and complete by Christmas bc I'm doing Christmas blankets for my 2 daughters, but by completing the ones I have started (one of which was for a wedding that has already passed) I will be in the habit of doing a little every day and it won't be hanging over my head to get it done!

So I wanted to read 24 books in 2024. So far over read one book 🙈. It takes me so long to read and yet sometimes I can fly through a book. I’m recovering from surgery at the moment so no excuse to read. I will try to finish the book I’ve started in May! Good luck Laura x

@skromnypani23 4 месяца назад

How lovely to see you "bright eyed and bushy tailed" again! I will join you in reading my library books stacked on my nightstand. I read regularly but will have to increase the time spent. I am also going to respond to all the letters I have in my desk inbox. I have many penfriends and I like to keep on top of my responses, so I want to devote more time to that as well. I am also eagerly awaiting the results of your year-long closet weed out, as i have been doing something similar. It will be a fun month!

@thatswhatisaid8908 4 месяца назад

I had that same mindset about books for most of my life. It was not until I reborrowed, for the THIRD time, an entirely unreadable book, that I let myself off the hook. Each time I read a little further into this big fat book, but it was awful. I encourage everyone to do the same. Life is too short to read bad books. Caveat: Don't you DARE assume that I'm talking about Middlemarch! I completed that on my third try. It's a great book. Persevere!

I get stressed out if I have more than 3 library books waiting for my attention at once, since we have an electronic request log and I likely have more on the way or about to be so. I have some weird anxiety about not getting through them in time. My challenge for the month of May is simply to KEEP my ish together. We have high school graduation in sight for one child, which means trying to keep him focused during this exciting time while doing all the THINGS we need to do for college in the fall. It's good to see you feeling engaged again, Laura 💚 Happy early birthday!

@gracemckinley 4 месяца назад

April was such a bad month for me also, but May is my B-day month too (I'm turning 30!!!) I think I want to try one task I've been putting off or something new a day in May. For example I have reward points I need to spend at Starbucks to treat myself, and things to donate to the thrift store. I think I also want to try different recipes and a new craft or hobby! I've spent so many days just going home after work wallowing in sameness and endless scrolling, so I think taking time every day to do something new and different would be big for me! I will probably fail as well but who cares! At least we're trying!! Thanks for inspiring this challenge!

@HowToGYST 4 месяца назад

That’s a wonderful idea! Lots of variety, and you’ll accomplish so much. 👏 Happy birthday month! I wish I had wise words. 😂 But I will say that one of the best things I did in my 30s was focusing on decluttering my life. So many wonderful benefits, and I’ll be reaping the rewards into my 40s… and beyond!

@laurenprice7739 4 месяца назад

I’m so happy to see and hear you feeling better and more like yourself! I also have a lot of books in my TBR collection, and I have a 3 week break between classes this month, so I’d love to get thru 15-20 of them. Love seeing your smile and that light in your eyes! Thank you for being so authentic with us, that takes a lot of bravery ❤

@HowToGYST 4 месяца назад

Thank you. 💖 Yes, I think 15-20 is realistic for me too. Let’s see where we land! 🤓

@gaiawolfwitch 4 месяца назад

I've faultered on the decluttering last couple of months as I have been in a flare up; and this month is bonkers busy. However, I think my one-a-day-in-May could be one item to declutter and make a date with myself to drop off the box on the last day. I've also just had the perfect sturdy box from a delivery that would be ideal for this. Lovely to see you back, many blessing x

@HowToGYST 4 месяца назад

So glad you are doing better! It is hard when things are not going well. I have been in that mode a bunch of this year. My challenge is to do a timed declutter each day. Have been doing some major decluttering the last 3 days, about an hour or more a day. Don't plan to keep up with an hour, but 30 minutes is my goal. Once I get started it's easier. Love your inspiration...As Always! ♥

So not a book a day for me , but read away. Love your channel and i'm a Laura fan :) Have a lovely day

I’ve been feeling a bit down too. I feel tired and lose interest in doing anything and then life seems to get away from you and that’s depressing too! So I’m going to do two a day in May. One thing that is nice and makes me feel good. And one thing that helps me get back control/order of my life which will make me feel good too.

@classicashley3925 4 месяца назад

I try to read one chapter a day, so it keeps me engaged in books. Sometimes I start books and then take too long to continue and then stop read in them all together. That challenge has worked so well. Last year I read 18 books and it was such a nice experience. For May, I’ll do a salad a day… I’m super into them and it would be fun to explore all the different salads I can make. Happy birthday! Love that you bring kids to the library! You probably don’t even realize the long term impact you’re making!

i'm trying to use the library more, instead of bing buying books because i do like collecting books. so i refuse to feel guilty about borrowing books, my husband knows better than to complain about the borrowing, because he also knows the alternative is buying. i also feel much less guilty about not finishing or not liking a book when i can just return it for someone else to read. i could never have 33 books borrowed, i'm afraid i'd lose them! i try to not have any more than 4 or 5 at a time.

Putting this in my calendar! As for MAY, I'm aiming to do some decluttering and organising in most rooms.

What an interesting challenge, best of luck making progress! Many of my friends and I say that collecting and organizing craft supplies is one hobby and using them is another! I have new flooring coming at the end of May for a large portion of my house so my challenge is getting anything I can carry out of the rooms. Of course it is making the rest of the house insane and I hate things out of place but it is an opportunity to reorganize and pare down when it goes back.

@HannahRainbow88 4 месяца назад

Reframe it as time to "hush the room" ... It's a new trend of taking everything out of a space and only putting back the items you love & use. It's kinda like a reverse of KonMari, where instead of focusing on saying goodbye, you're shopping the room for your most treasured items instead. 😊

Anyway, Best wishes on your reading challenge. As for me... I've been doing the 100 days project.... (and it continues this month)... and... I'm going to be doing "Mermay" (drawing a mermaid a day for the month of May). and I'm also gonna do "Messy May".... (just do something creative each day). (there are prompts for both).

I decided in February that I will read one book a month because I lost reading. Then in April I decided that I will work at least 15 minutes a day towards one of my goals for the year, but I got a little confused about them because I have so many goals, but then decided that every remaining month of the year should be focused on one of the goals. I've come a long way already with just 15 minutes a day. and I already read 8 books this year, almost all books were 500 pages.

I have a book a week and that is more realistisk for me! I usually don’t read anything in May as a garden a lot! But this May I still have a book a week as my back needs more rest! ☺️

I’m so happy you are feeling better. My challenge is to meditate every day in May. Thanks for the inspiration. 💜💜💜

I have been mostly in my garden. My house is getting messy I am just waiting for my kids summer break. I need to go through seasonal stuff and get rid of a dresser

Great Challenge! I wait to sell books to a reseller as soon as I read a few I know I won’t keep. I think I should also read. A book a day with two kindergartners and a office job is impossible (read 80-100 pages an hour but I mostly read books with 500+ pages), but I think I can make a dent in my to be read shelf. I also have a lot of craft projects but as the weather is getting better in Germany (finally) I hope to enjoy my garden - easier with a book than a sewing machine.

Yours could be to enjoy your garden every day in May. ☺️

Reading is also escapism, and using our imagination. For those of us who have family members with dementia, we have to keep our brains active. My bday is in October, and I'll be 50, so I'm already planning the books TBR before then.

Laura, have you been snooping at my craft projects?? There are soo many on the go. No way I can finish one a day, but I would like to spend an hour a day on something that is just for me, not for somebody else.

@HowToGYST 4 месяца назад

Go for it! Even if you don’t manage a full hour every day you’ll still squeeze in some extra time for yourself.

Wow! That's an impressive goal - I read 14 last month, 11 of those being audio books. I currently have 9 library books on my shelf - I'll try to get through all those. My daily May goals include hitting 10K steps every day and practicing violin at least 20 min a day (I usually get 1-2 hours in each day).

@HowToGYST 4 месяца назад

Wonderful goals! My daughter is currently learning to play the violin.

@fiddlejillm 4 месяца назад

@@HowToGYST That's awesome! I'm a violin teacher - been playing for 40 years now!

I’m a little jealous of your library! My local library only allows 7 at a time! 😭

@olivemaycards 3 месяца назад

Oh no! That’s sad. I hope you live close enough to go often to make up for that.

@AliFortyForward 3 месяца назад

Yes, thank goodness, I pass it doing daily errands so I can swing in as needed! I wish they’d raise the limit but for now it works! 😅

My challenge is not to borrow anymore books from the library this month and read stuff on my shelf. I already had 2 books on hold at the Library so I caved to get those two on May 1, but I won't get anymore in May!!!

@HowToGYST 4 месяца назад

Good for you! Work your way through your current collection.

Challenge accepted. I have books that I have bought and STILL haven't gotten to reading them. Will finish reading "The 5AM Club". Borrowed it from my local library.

@HowToGYST 4 месяца назад

Yay! Here’s to more bookish adventures this month. 🤓
