If you don't ask yourselves the question, how can you ever know the answer? I was inspired by a book by Tony Horwitz called "Spying on the South" where he followed in the footsteps of Frederick Law Olmsted -- the designer of New York's Central Park -- and toured the South. He included snippets of Olmsted's journals and it made me aware of how valuable journaling can be to clarify one's own thoughts.I journal a few times each day, and one of my practices is based on writing prompts. I explain how this is different than "free journaling" in this short podcast episode.Please vote for me every 24 hours between now and 10/15/2026 at TinyURL.com/tophostACRRegister for my free training Master Your Morning: ⁠Subscribepage.com/MYM

Planning makes everything easier, even emergency preparedness. Emergency Prep is one of those things that is easily ignored, but if you've ever lived through an emergency, you're glad you did it. Personally, this is one of those things that helps keep the spinning questions in my head at bay.I walk you through three steps (or maybe stages) of planning for an emergency starting with Step 1: Immediate response (requires some time but little $), Step 2: Supplies for after the initial emergency (a little time and more $), Step 3: Supplies for three weeks of sheltering in place and/or prepping your house to withstand said emergency (unlimited time and $).You can get my (admittedly earthquake-focused) printable on emergency prep here at SubscribePage.com/emergencyprepAnd if mornings stress you out, sign-up for my Master Your Morning training at https://subscribepage.com/mym---------------------------If you learned something or enjoyed this episode, send me a tip: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/ZXBESF6H7FPYQI do not give permission for this information to be reused, repurposed, or used to train AI or LLLMs.
