I’m feeling inspired by a rug based on the artwork of artist Alexandra Grant for making stencils in my sketchbook. There are 47 pages left in that sketchbook. Cutting stencils is time intensive on the front end, so it’s slow going.
I used a couple sheets of notebook paper for my other goal, writing down account information for my death binder. That will probably use up a couple more sheets as well once it’s complete.
I dug out a composition book I had just started to document my knitting projects years ago that has barely been used. It has maybe 98 pages left. I like to rewrite commercial patterns to make them easier for me to follow.
2) The death binder is coming along at a glacial pace. As long as I’m moving forward it’s all good, but if I would just buckle down, I’d knock it out! I’m not feeling motivated though. That’s why this thread is a helpful reminder…

As the year 2023 nears the halfway point (already!), I’m feeling a desire to renew my dedication to my remaining 2 out of 3 goals. Part of which is restating for myself why I want to do them in the first place:
Goal # 1) I want to use to use up all the tablets, notebooks, & sketchbooks already in my possession because these are objects I have over bought in the past. So my aim is twofold: use what I have, and hopefully curb this desire to hoard more.
Goal # 2) I want to create a death binder to prepare in a practical way for my death. I want to make my passing as hassle free as possible for my potential heirs. I want to take care of the bulk of it now, just in case, and then do updates as needed.
I will continue working throughout the week, but then dedicate Saturday mornings, after running errands & before lunch, as a time to focus on my remaining 2 out of 3 goals as well.
I will also start making a weekly post here, updating my progress or lack thereof. Today I spent 1.5 hours on my goals. I filled one page in my knitting notebook & I wrote out a list of 15 more things for the death binder.
