Yeah I totally get what you mean. I was in the middle of reorganizing my bookshelves when I realized I'd been sorting them wrong for years. My friend Jenna always puts hers by color but I prefer by author last name even though it looks more chaotic. The whole process took way longer than I expected because I kept stopping to flip through old favorites. There was this one cookbook that fell open to a page with a handwritten note from my grandmother tucked inside which derailed everything. I ended up sitting on the floor reading for about an hour before I got back to work. Have you ever tried rearranging your space and just gotten completely sidetracked like that It happens to me every single time. I should probably just accept that any organizing project will take three times as long as I plan. Next weekend I'm tackling the garage and I already know it's going to be a disaster zone but at least I'll find all those missing tools. Anyway hope your week is going well talk soon.

Oh I finally figured out the best way to keep my basil plant alive through the winter. After killing three of them I learned you have to pinch off the top leaves regularly so it gets bushy instead of leggy. My neighbor swears by putting it on a south-facing windowsill and rotating the pot every few days. I also started using a small grow light for just four hours in the evening and it made a huge difference. The leaves are way greener now and actually taste like something. I tried drying some for later use but I think I over-dried them because they just crumbled into dust. Next time I'll be more careful with the dehydrator settings. My sister laughed at me for being so invested in a single plant but honestly it's been weirdly satisfying watching it thrive. Plus I don't have to buy fresh basil from the store anymore which is nice. If you have any other indoor gardening tips let me know because I'm thinking about trying mint next.

I've been trying to get better at meal prepping on Sundays and it finally clicked last weekend. Instead of cooking full meals I just prep components like roasted veggies cooked grains and a couple of proteins. Then during the week I mix and match so I don't get bored. My go-to combination this month is farro roasted sweet potatoes and chicken with a tahini dressing. I also started chopping all my salad ingredients right after grocery shopping so I can just grab a container and have lunch ready in two minutes. It has saved me so much time and I'm wasting way less food because everything is already prepped and visible in the fridge. The game changer was buying those clear glass containers so I can actually see what I have without digging around. My brother thinks I'm being extra but he's also been asking for help setting up his own system so I think I won him over. Have you found any shortcuts that make weekday cooking less painful because I still struggle with breakfast.
