It has been a while since my last blog post (6 months to be specific). Since that time, we’ve lived through six more months of work-from-home and wanted to do a life update. Upon reflection, quite a few things have changed over the past six months and it’s fun to track life events and updates! I’m planning on doing another 101 in 1001 update soon with a (surprisingly) long list of updates. I finished my 4th busy season (5th year of work). I’ve worked at the same public accounting company since I graduated in 2016 and finished my 4th busy season. This would have been my 5th, but I missed…

101 in 1001 Update #2
In January, I started a list of 101 things I wanted to do in 1001 days. Now that my company has decided we are working from home most likely through the end of Q1 (that’s March 31st for you non-accounting/finance friends), I have finally decided to settle into this new “normal”. We have become *somewhat* more productive, at least as much as we can from staying at home. It has been over 3 months since my last update, so I figured this would be the perfect opportunity do an update, especially because a lot of milestones have occurred (ie. anniversaries, elections, etc).

A new year.
At the start of every year, I go through a process of identifying various goals I want to achieve. I’ve tried setting generic goals such as “eat healthier”, to specific goals such as “drink 8 glasses of water a day”. Somehow I always find myself slacking off only a few weeks after I started. However, I recently realized that I wanted to change my focus this year away from specifics and toward a single mantra: Be where your feet are. For the better part of my life, I have been a planner. I’ve spent countless hours figuring out each second of my week, month, trying to optimize every day. As…

Post-Busy Season Life Update
It has been a hot minute since I last wrote a blog post. You see, I had big dreams and goals on what I would do with my blog since I started it back in December 2017. I had designed my page, written a few posts and even had an editorial calendar for future posts. Well, life hit me hard. More specifically, work hit me really hard. I have already somewhat talked about my job and the crazy hours we worked, but even I couldn’t have imagined how long our busy season would last this year. I wrote a post a few months ago about how to survive busy season.…

January 2018 Recap
PINCH ME! I can’t believe January is already over. This month has gone by so quickly – partly because I (not-so-secretly) want this busy season go be over with, and partly because I’ve been so busy! I wanted to make sure I spent enough time with friends and family before I had no life for the next five months. WEEK 1 | January 1 – January 7 The month started off with a fun game-night with one of our favorite newlywed friends (well the celebrations really started on NYE). They recently bought a house and hosted us for New Year’s Eve! We played our favorite games, ate lots of…
