5 things for the weekend 23.05
february calendar, remembering book plots, magic drawing pen, home care is self-care
On my mind in this brand new month is habit. Which I realise is related to my recent musings on deliberate practice, because for the practice to happen, it takes developing some good habits.
Yesterday I posted on Instagram about my fiber related projects for the Fiberuary Challenge, and it hit me that it will take finetuning my habits to make my plans a reality. Funny how writing things down makes them a stark reality!
So over the next four weeks I will be building regular art and crafting habits into my schedule.
What habit do you want to work on this month?
5 Things
1. I’ve mentioned before that I always believed I couldn’t draw, and I know many people that feel that way. it turns out that all you need is a magic pen!

3. Why do we forget most of the books we read? Not to mention the TV shows and movies? This round-up of articles takes a look at memory and how we can improve it.
4. It’s only February, so that means we still have a lot of motivation and momentum for setting goals and intentions. Right? Take a gander at six ways to become a better human.
