Happy Sunday Slow Down Society!!

this is the 22nd edition of the Sunday Slow Down -- which is a weekly recap of things that have been happening in my world -- both online and in real life.

I live in a state that "celebrates" Day Light savings --- which means when I slept in until 7:40 this morning it really was 8:40 when I woke up --

so not only is this email going out an hour later, I feel "behind" already.

and I hate that feeling!

The good news is that I spend a good majority of my Sunday folding laundry.

When I worked from home and the kids were little, I did a little bit of laundry every day and never let the folding pile up.

[ I write about this in the Clean Less, Play More book ]

Now that they are old enough to fold their OWN laundry -- I have decided that they "don't do it right" and have reclaimed the laundry-folding for myself.

So I can binge-watch Netflix.

I see nothing wrong with this.

Sheldon got to go on his very first field trip to Lowes yesterday --

and although he looks sort of sad and nervous in these photos -- he actually had a ton of fun and a whole bunch of snacks.

He's a basset. That's just what his face looks like.

I have March 24th off of work because not only is it my parents' anniversary (happy anniversary, mom & dad!) -- I agreed to speak (virtually) at the Mountain Top Motivation Summit.

My speaking time is 1:30pm Pacific, and I'm going to be speaking about how you can actually achieve *more* when you take the time to Slow Down.

You can sign up to hear the talk live, or you can get the recorded sessions, here.

The Slow Living Podcast is in it's 22nd week, and my podcast guy, Mike, says that it's doing really well.

We have hit the 10,000 episodes download mark and he says that out of roughly 2 million podcasts on Apple it is in the Top 500.

That's pretty cool since I'm about as techy as a non-programmable crockpot.....

Speaking of my talk for the Mountain Motivation summit ---

I really do believe that you can get more done (if you want to) if you stop being "so busy" ---

I wrote an article a while ago sharing my thoughts ---

even though I get an awful lot done each day, I don't really consider myself "busy" --- I get my "have-to" over with so then there is plenty of time for all of my "want-tos" ---

(like binge-watching Sweet Magnolias on Netflix!)
