Hey Reader Sometimes the simplest advice can be the most impactful. Back at the start of our newslettering journey together, I gave you 5 of my favourite tiny tips. (If you're new to the newsletter team, you might not have gotten that one yet. Don't worry, it's coming!) In that email, I also asked if you had a tiny tip you thought could help other members of the newsletter team. As we move into Quarter 4, I thought some of these tips were timely reminders for how we can approach what is often...

Hey Reader On September 2nd, I celebrated my 100th day in a row of exercise π₯³ If you had told January 1st Jess that this would be a milestone she'd hit this year, she'd definitely have scoffed at you. I've never been an exercise kind of person, let alone a daily exercise person. But here we are, now at 117 days in a row (186 days for the year!) What's probably more exciting than hitting the 100-day streak though is the payoff that it's had. Jess versus "The hill" Back in March, when I first...

Hey Reader At this point of the year, time seems to speed up π While it feels like I was just finishing my mid-year journal setup, Halloween is right around the corner. I'm getting antsy about planning for Christmas and New Year, but also super tempted to look ahead to 2026. The mindset I often fall into around this time is that any of those goals I wanted to work on this year, but haven't quite gotten around to, would make for great new year goals π Why not just let the -ber months slide and...

Hey Reader Have you ever been working away at a goal steadily only to suddenly have all progress stop? π This is essentially what has happened with my home organisation goal at the moment. After doing a full declutter of our house, getting the shower grouting redone, and reorganising the living room, my momentum in this life area seems to have stalled. I know part of this is because I'm letting wedding prep pull my focus, but part of it is because the next action items are too big. I know my...

Hey Reader You might have heard that I'm getting married π° The wedding is at the end of August which is fast approaching and there's still heaps to do, but at the moment, I'm feeling oddly calm about it. (Let's see how long that lasts, haha π) Despite being engaged since 2018, it took until January this year for Vogel and I to decide we were actually going to get this done. Being a planner person, one of the things I was most excited about for this big life project was getting to make a...
