Because being socially awkward has its benefits
(deutsche Version) So this month was not as quiet as I expected it to be. Living and ‘shopping’ under total lockdown until mid-month brought excellent results – I ordered two books online and apart from that all I/we bought were groceries and toiletries. Hence this month had huge potential. But spending so much (quiet quality) [...]
(english version) So welcome to An Edited Life. A book crammed full of practical tips I’ve discovered over the years through my journey from consumer queen to militant thrower-outer to a slightly more chilled neat-freak. … Think of it not as a book of commandments to be followed to the letter, but more like your [...]
“Without organizing strategies that work with your ADD, life is not what it can be, should be, or what you are capable of.” (Xi) Dr. Kathleen Nadeau is an expert on ADD, Judith Kolberg is an expert in organizing. Together they created a safe haven for the chaotic ADD mind to find appropriate solutions for [...]

Ich blogge schon seit vielen Jahren, und habe in dieser bereits die ein oder andere 'Blogleiche' zurückgelassen … Wer kennt es nicht: Man hat eine Idee, überlegt sich grade mal die ersten paar Blogposts und nach wenigen Wochen oder Monaten schläft diese ach so geniale Sache, an der man da gerade arbeitet wieder ein. Weil [...]
english version Ich bin zwar eine deklarierte Leseratte und weiß mich auch sonst bestens zu beschäftigen – vor allem wenn’s ums prokrastinieren fernab meiner Dissertation geht – aber manchmal mag ich auch einfach gerne zuhören. Vor allem dann, wenn ich nebenher simple Sachen mache, also etwa putzen, Wäsche aufhängen, aufräumen, ausräumen oder auch nähen – [...]
deutsche Version Pandemic or not, sometimes I’m not in the mood for reading. Or writing. Or sitting still. Or I have to do some cleaning, cooking, laundry, and I want some entertainment while doing so. Weeelcome to the world of podcasts! Thanks to my excellent podcast app and its long list of ‘to be listened’ [...]
Well, that escalated quickly … Who would’ve thought on March 1 that we end the month cooped up in our homes because of a global pandemic? Shops closed on March 16, with only grocery stores, drugstores, pharmacies, and certain other shops and suppliers of vital importance remaining open. Until then I actually spent more [...]
It’s quarantine day 7 today. I’ve been from home since Tuesday, this will last until April 13, at least. I’m used to working from home and prefer it to most other ways of work (like office life), so this is not a problem for me. If I need something I can call my co-workers and [...]
