Loving this insight into how you track and reflect on your day-to-day, thanks for sharing it! Equal Rites is my favourite of all the Discworld books (maybe because it was the one my dad recommended I start with, but I think it holds its own even I take away that sentimentality!) so I loved seeing this on your tracker. I've been tracking my purchases digitally this year so far but I loved what you said in a previous letter about analogue notes, so this is really fascinating to see the format you use.
My big thing in January was about making space for myself - both physically (as in, making some practical changes to my work setup and living space) and digitally (limiting my screen time, unsubscribing from a lot of things, thinking about email boundaries), and it really feels like I benefitted from both of those, so they're definitely things I want to continue into February and beyond!
Good that you are so open Becky. To those who don't know they have autism, life can be confounding. For some it actually reduces fear. From 9 to 77 I lived a wild and yet full life. Then last year I was diagnosed with Autism, which has made it all clear, and embrace it as a blessing. I sometimes talk about this when I am on Notes, I include examples of it in my t'Otherwith Tales, and am developing talks on the subject in Dutch. Most of my life has been spent ignoring TV, preferring to create stuff, to read and write, busk, travel. Am now preparing to cycle round France looking for a derelict croft to create a haven for alternative tech students, artists, writers, intellectuals with hearts.. Just want to pass on what this life has taught me....... Peace, Maurice
🤗 happy to hear much of this - definitely another reminder to maybe reduce my attachment to my phone but I'm not there yet 😬
I hope you continue having a good February 🫶🏻

So beautiful, Becky! And I love how you've set up your money tracker and spending log!!
The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart! So good...
