Great post - I am very similar. Sometimes I have too much free time in that I flail around with so many things I could be doing it's too overwhelming. I've at least removed social media off my phone and don't really post, but I still find there's things I want to be doing (to become the Person I Want To Become) yet I don't do any of them.... Love the idea of the tiny habits, maybe this is something I can try :)

Thanks, Tara, and if you have any tips, let me know! Tiny Habits was good, though mine have a little way to go to become, er, habitual. I'm working on it...

I also found your newsletter via the child free article on The Guardian. So glad I did! Really loving, and connecting with, your content. I just signed up for the 5 day tiny habits challenge!

Great post, Lucy!

I’ve just found your newsletter via your piece in The Guardian.

I’m childfree myself, and found the article’s headline ‘How I found joy in life without children of my own’ very prickly - but I’m so glad I read it! Great to find you here on Substack. 😊
