Just as I took a look at what my ideal weekend looks like, I decided to look closer at how I spend my evenings. By streamlining this time into something I choose to do, I can be more fulfilled and happy.

When I realized my life wasn't what I wanted it to be, I knew I would have to make some changes. I sat down and figured out what I wanted my weekend to look like. Now I just had to arrange things to get there.

When I first approached deliberate living, I knew that I was going to have to make changes. My life wasn't anywhere close to what I wanted it to be. But I also realized that to a certain extent, I could design my life. Obviously, since I work outside the home for someone else, I don't have much choice in how that goes. But at home? That's a different story. And I started with the biggest chunk of time that I have: my weekends.
