I’ve been thinking a lot of de-productivity seeking ALL the time, and actually do more of nothings productive but enjoyable.
I could run more, faster, but I chose not to. I chose to slowdown, listen to best of Taylor Swift album while enjoying the quiet morning without anyone on the road. Oh… do you like my new sunglasses that I brought spontaneously in Fortaleza running scene? I like that it makes everything looks the beautiful morning pink sky

when I got home, I didn’t do stretching nor shower, but spent an hour with the girls in the pool, enjoy the warm water, Sofia trying her new racing suit (painful experience!)

I did do something productive. I did September and October finance, a la old fashion, cancelled monarch and requested refund. Why? I realized that I like the process of going through the transactions, classify how I would classify them, instead of re-classify what monarch does. It makes me more mindful of spending choices and my excel sheet format that I’ve been using for 3 years is easier for me to understand.
I made a new recipe, beef lasagna. I got the best compliment from Lizzy, saying this is the best food ever, even better than xiaolongbao, that’s big compliment.

enjoyed my boring food that I absolutely love.

took an hour long nap while reading. For some reason, both days Ive had a mild headache. So I was even gentler with myself. When I woke up, I spent few minutes chatting with Lizzy and Bubble.

I finished packing and helped Lizzy to pack for our swimming trip. Leaving for airport in an hour or so. But before that, we will play another round cayote!
Hope you are having an enjoyable Sunday. I’ll catch few more episodes of Killing Even on the flight.

I don’t think your food looks boring at all! Both dishes look great. I love the idea of intentionally being unproductive–I feel like I always am puttering away at random tasks, but it’s nice to intentionally leave things undone and just relax.

Yum – your “boring” food appeals to me more than the lasagna! (That’s only because I am not a fan of tomatoes.) The racing suit looks cool! What a bummer that it was a trial to try.

Your boring food looks great to me, too.
We will probably end up canceling monarch as well. We keep having to re-sync things. We have the same problem with the Fidelty Full View platform. I really miss Mint! We like to track spending and then track the balances of our various investment accounts. But it is just not working as well as I had hoped!

Ha, well I know what you mean about “boring” food. I eat a big salad most nights for dinner, which is VERY boring, but I enjoy it.
Sometimes It’s nice to have a quieter day. And what is this swimming trip? Will we find out tomorrow?

I hope the swimming trip goes well. I’m glad you had some down time, it’s important to rest. Both of your meals look delicious.

This sounds like a perfect semi-productive Sunday 😉 We don’t always have to be productive all day, every day!
