Key Quotes:
“This one was one of my favourites, and my ultimate favourite moment was the 24 hour break from technology where we switched off our phones. Boy, did this make me twitchy for the first half, and then so calm for the second half. It truly made me want to make this more of a regular practice for me, and I think in my best life, I’d do this at least once a week, and then for sure during vacations.” -Jenny while discussing the digital detox challenge we did in December 2018
“I loved this one especially because it coincided perfectly with the release of our online pretend best friend Gretchen Rubin’s book Outer Order Inner Calm. It really is true for me that when I take control of my environment and get it more organized and orderly, I do feel calmer and able to take on the world. There is something so satisfying and therapeutic about clearing out stuff that you don’t need or use.” -Peggy while discussing the MinsGame challenge we did in March 2019
