Hello friends, Welcome to this week's edition of 2x2. As always, I've got a couple of resources, tools, diversions, books, tools, toys, or other types of recommendations for you to check out; and then, secondly, are a couple of ideas, stories, or tips from me.

By making the first step of a task or project easier on yourself, then you have step one already decided. It will make it simpler to continue following through. (You can apply the night-time-outfit-trick to any other project or area of your life.) * * *
