eli In my case, its not that overwhelming of a task because its something we do regularly once a year, a major decluttering. Plus, its been a while that we’re trying to be as minimalist as we can with our lifestyle so we do not accumulate that much stuff.

Ever Taken An IQ Test

koopharper @koopharper (7487) • Canada 2 May

I've never taken one but cross-correlation with tests I have taken doesn't make me concerned. Granted it is better to be thought a fool than to remove all doubt. I'm not fully convinced IQ is an adequate measure of intelligence....

Is Daydreaming Bad or Good?

Jo Ann @akalinus (40601) • United States 1 May

As a kid, I daydreamed a lot. When the teacher asked a question, I did not hear her. I was in my own world, creating famous art and writing blockbuster novels. I did not hear my mom telling me what to do. I was saving people's...

eli Daydreaming is like a secret adventure, right? But it's a mixed bag. It's fun to get lost in your imagination, but it can also land you in hot water when you're not paying attention. For me, it was a bit of both – good for creativity, bad for focus.

Rachael Alice @lifecoachjerusalem (1135) • Israel 25 Apr
