Your goals are all beautiful. They resonate with me, especially about clutter in the living space. I'd never thought about that translating to feeling like "truth" but that feels really . . . true. I also like the way you articulated your goals.

Right now I'm at a practical stage in my life, so of an analog to decluttering, where I need to figure out how to manage my workload and demands with a creative project I want to make more progress on this year.

I have three practical goals that I want to try out to see if they work for me:

1. answering emails once/day (in the afternoon)
2. listening to VGM (video game music) while working instead of classical (so far, I've found it energizing)
3. Following a 10 step plan for accomplishing a big project (all laid out neatly for me in video lessons, worksheets, and the like).

More generally, my goal is to parent my teen in ways that nurture but do not stifle him (he's already announced he's not looking for "acceptance" and "validation"), to support and encourage him while also telling him what I think. I gave him life so he could go live it (circa My Big Fat Greek Wedding). Maybe recognize a little more deeply that parenting a kid very different from myself is a big challenge.

My other goal is to be open to the possibility of dating, although I have no idea what that looks like other than it's not registering for an app. I like relationships and I'm good at them.
