Gardening and homesteading with no time available
Psst , don't tell anyone....although it sounds super fancy, with all the stuff I do, it really doesn't take a ton of time. I have developed systems and rhythms that reduce both the time and mental load, so a lot of it runs on mental autopilot while I am half awake and thinking about other things.
My planting list for this week took less than 10 minutes to do. (Except the houseplants). Which is why in February I break it down week by week what I need to plant for the season. Then each week I just look at the list and do the small steps. It is easy enough to be able to do even if my life/ADHD is super challenging that week.
My 100+ houseplants take about 10 minutes per week to care for.
The 20 rabbits now only take 10 minutes a day (total) to care for (except for breeding stuff).
Systems and rhythms are my biggest strength. They mean I can keep going when I am sick, or busy caring for family members, or just really distracted.
The concept of permaculture is an established set of 12 steps to build systems that are efficient, reduce inputs or waste, and sometimes run themselves. It was originally for ecologically based food systems, but the sequence applies to medicine, families and business as well.
What is one task in your week that you wish you had a better or more streamlined system for?
What is one system or rhythm that you have developed that you are really proud of?
