53

Since I set my 53 year to start the day after my birthday, this project changes mid-month instead of on the first. So this month I started with a focus on decluttering and moved onto deep planning for the future.

For way too much information about my day to day life, check out my Life Begins at 53 pages, where I track everything from food and water to chapters read to the day’s weather. It’s definitely not a perfect system yet, but I’m improving on it every month. See August here.
