Edit: Oops! Sesquicentennial is 150 years. We’re at sestercentennial - 250 years. or semiquincentennial (half 500) ——- Wishing all our members from the U.S.A. a very Happy 4th of July and sesquicentennial celebration!

Let's give a warm welcome to @Marci Horvath. Marci is looking to level up her skills in Time Management, so let's see what we've got to help out there! What are some of your best Time Management tips? Me? I set alarms for everything so that I'm not late. Got a meeting? Set an alarm for 5 or 10 minutes before, depending upon if I need to prepare. Got an appointment? Add it to the calendar so that a reminder pops up when you need it. Need to reinforce routine? Set alarms for the things you're trying to set a habit for. Do you hyperfocus? Set an alarm to set boundaries for your work time and effort. For many of my alarms, I set them to go off on my Apple Watch so that I get the haptic interruption on my wrist. That gets my attention. Add your tips in the comments!

Happy Father’s Day to all who have earned the title: Father, Dad, Papa, Pop, Da, or whatever name you’re given. That includes Steps and anyone serving as a father figure. Let’s celebrate our Grandparents and the Greats as well! You are loved and appreciated, and this is your day. We’re celebrating ours with the movers who are packing up our house. We’ve sent our dog, Ziggy, to spend the day with his favorite sitter so that he can be safe and calm. Me? I’m taking a short break to say hello and wish you all happy - while snuggling with my super soft, fluffy pillow. Show me yours - do you have a comfort stuffie, plushie, pillow, doll, or even live animal that helps keep you calm and centered? Here’s mine. I love the heart shape because the v fits right into the crook of my arm and makes it comfortable to hug.

This community is really important to me, so I want to let you all know what's going on in my life. I'm in the middle of getting ready to sell my house and leave for a long trip to visit family before coming back to California and settling in for a bit somewhere in the RV before running off to Scotland for a month. I'll pick things back up once we start traveling in the U.S., and things might slow down again when I'm in Scotland (unless you all want to see pictures and hear stories!). I hope you'll all stick with me and engage with each other - this isn't about me - it's about the expertise we all have in one thing or another and how we can help each other learn and grow. Thank you for your patience!

Let's give a warm welcome to our newest members: @Atticus Orion - here to level up your money-making skills. Great place to start. @Hamza As - diving into finances. You're going to love what's coming. @Riyad Arefin - meal planning on the agenda. Yes, it counts as a very important life skill, and one most of us struggle with. @Hannah Webb - taking on UK taxes. A minefield, no matter where you are.
