Remember the DTR's of college life? Ok, maybe you don't. Maybe it was just a christian college thing. Anyway, a DTR (or determine the relationship) was code for "serious discussion to see where we are at".
Right now I am trying to find time for Noah and I to have a ETC (Evaluate the Content) discussion.
Evaluating the contents of our house...
Evaluating the contents of our bank...
Evaluating the contents of our minds...
Evaluating the contents of our hearts...
Evaluating the contents of our days...
Our weeks...
Our months...
We are so busy spending time with family and friends. Doing projects and keeping up with the house. So busy teaching and volunteering. Childraising and making time for our own "favorite things".
What to leave out?
Do we need to leave out anything?
Maybe there is enough extra time wasting activities in there that would loosen the schedule if we could eliminate them...
We will see.
By the way, Noah hates DTRs. And I am pretty sure he also hates ETCs.
But, he loves me :)

I'm reading "How to Have a Mary Heart in a Martha World" I'll loan it to you soon.
One thing they mentioned doing was to list all the family activities, give them #s according to priority (1-4) and then drop all the 4's. Maybe you could do it with house contents, too! Or what else?!
Speaking of book recommendations, I love "The Freedom of Simplicity" by Richard Foster. Very challenging and makes you think a lot about everything that clutters our lives. I'd be happy to loan it to you (since you have so much free time to read!)
