Discussion topics include: • A tornado in Portland! • Our (new) commitment to keeping a list of these commitments so we don’t forget about them • Janine’s re-energized knitting and Shannon’s happy t-shirt drawer • How it’s okay to change our minds • How the problem with a bad memory is not actually having a bad memory but rather worrying about having a bad memory • The amazingly good memories both Shannon and Janine enjoyed when we were young • What Shannon does when she can’t remember someone’s name • A workshop Shannon’s planning to offer in Phoenix about embracing good enough in your writing or creative practices • Our plea to let us know you’re a listener if we ever see you in person • Shannon’s strategies for getting back to her morning routine We gave updates on these commitments: • Janine’s knitting, from Episode 65 • Shannon’s t-shirt drawer also, from Episode 65 • Janine’s desire to become more handy, from Episode 60 • Shannon’s desire to stop labeling herself as a person with a bad memory, also from Episode 60 • Both Shannon and Janine’s desire to become better at asking for help, from Episode 17 • How Janine practiced saying no (to Shannon!), from Episode 53 • Shannon’s progress on her genealogy and inherited items, from Episode 20 • Shannon’s struggles with her morning routine, from Episode 11 (among others) Visit the show notes at www.gettingtogoodenough.com for links to the various episodes discussed, as well as a couple of photos!
