This summer, I somehow managed to convince my family to keep waking up at the same time they did for school, and instead spend 20 minutes cleaning the house, then go out together for some exercise in nature before we start our day. Yesterday it was a literal walk in the park, today we’re going to kayak.

The house has remained clean, everyone’s mood is visibly better, and nobody has complained that they didn’t get enough time to do the things they want to do.

I wish we did this years ago!

My boys:

6 – “Debug mode? What’s that?”

11 – “It basically lets you put stuff on the map whenever you want”

6 – “Oh, so you can test the maps?”

I was a little surprised 6 made the jump to “debug is for testing” instead of “oh it’s creative mode!”

PSA: If you maintain composer packages via Packagist, be a good steward of the open web and take a moment to set up 2FA on your Packagist site.

I set mine up today.

What I’d give for a rain-free weekend! I guess it’ll be less-painful when the kids are out of school, but geez.

How I stay at inbox zero:
