Book cover for The One-Number Budget: Why Traditional Budgets Fail and What to Do About It
The problem with snapshots is that they only mark one moment in time, and there’s always an outlier expense that throws the whole thing for a loop. This isn’t your fault. It’s just how life works.

“It tells us that all is not as it seems and that everything we experience is but a filtered version of everything that we could experience.”
Ed Yong, An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us

Ed Yong
“The majesty of nature is not restricted to canyons and mountains. It can be found in the wilds of perception--the sensory spaces that lie outside our Umwelt and within those of other animals. To perceive the world through other senses is to find splendor in familiarity and the sacred in the mundane. Wonders exist in a backyard garden, where bees take the measure of a flower’s electric fields, leafhoppers send vibrational melodies through the stems of plants, and birds behold the hidden palates of rurples and grurples...Wilderness is not distant. We are continually immersed in it. It is there for us to imagine, to savor and to protect.”
Ed Yong, An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us

Tiago Forte
“The three habits most important to your Second Brain include: Project Checklists: Ensure you start and finish your projects in a consistent way, making use of past work. Weekly and Monthly Reviews: Periodically review your work and life and decide if you want to change anything. Noticing Habits: Notice small opportunities to edit, highlight, or move notes to make them more discoverable for your future self.”
Tiago Forte, Building a Second Brain: A Proven Method to Organize Your Digital Life and Unlock Your Creative Potential

“Positive body image isn’t believing your body looks good; it is knowing your body is good, regardless of how it looks.”
Lexie Kite, More Than A Body: Your Body Is an Instrument, Not an Ornament

Melissa Urban
“But what’s both uncomfortable and damaging is reaffirming the story that someone else’s feelings are more important or worthy than your own—which is what you do every time you swallow your healthy boundary in an effort to keep the peace.”
Melissa Urban, The Book of Boundaries: Set the Limits That Will Set You Free
