I realize that I’m lazy (very lazy) when it comes to cooking and cleaning. I’ve devised the 15 minute cleaning solution to avoid hiring a maid service (I was very close). I’m trying to cook enough to always have leftovers in fridge for the lazy days that I just want to eat pizza and sushi.

Hi Mrs M – I’m not usually into souvenirs too much, but like you, I can’t resist t-shirts and hoodies to remind me of places I’ve enjoyed visiting.

Another thing I’ve learned is that it is pointless to carry on paying gym membership at a gym which is close to my old office!

Also, we should not eat out so often, now that we work from home – there’s just no excuse anymore.

Thank you for making me think about these things.

All kidding aside, I totally agree. Knowing thyself can save you los of money… now I just have to go cancel that gym membership.

I have learned that I don’t eat a lot of fruits and veggies, even if they are in the fridge. I used to waste money buying them with the hopes that I’d eat them. A week later, they ended up in the trash.
Obviously, fruits and veggies are good for me and I should eat them. I still buy them, but in small quantities and only one certain fruit or veggie at a time. This way, I don’t waste a lot of food if I don’t eat it, and I can usually find a way to work ONE fruit or vegetable into my week.
Kinda sad, but like you said, you need to know yourself!
