Christmas in July - Day 1
Every day driving change - it's amazing what can be achieved
Well, yesterday it hit 32°C — not exactly mulled wine and fairy lights weather, but there's no such thing as the perfect time and you've got to start sometime!
Day 1 was all about a Quick Win. The kind of task that takes no more than 20 minutes, fits into a busy day, and gives you that satisfying “I did something” feeling. Not just washing up or preparing meals — but a small, intentional action that nudges you forward.
So what did I do?
🧦 I tackled the sock drawer.
Yes. Really.
There were 17 socks that were threadbare and had clearly done their time (a side effect of walking the dog 3 times a day). Now bagged up to taken to clothes recycling at some point.
A stray bra wire. No clue how it got there.
And somehow, a little more mental space.
It took less than 20 minutes, yet it gave me that boost that comes with doing something just for you and your own clarity.
🌿 Also on Day 1…
I made time to work on the Linden Connect website — adding copy, cleaning up the layout, and nudging it closer to launch.
💡 Mini Wins, Bigger Vision
This challenge isn’t just about decluttering — it’s about resetting and reconnecting. And while a tidy drawer won’t change the world, the discipline and self-respect of taking action daily? That just might.
