Day 10 of the “Digital Declutter experiment”, and three weeks more to go (and in case you don’t know what this is about, check this post). With my absence from social media platforms where I usually share my posts, I can’t help but wonder how many people actually check in here:) I was tempted to …
Hey fam… Happy new month!… And welcome to the “Off the Grid” series. I went with that title because it sounds like a fitting expression for the agenda of the month. First of all, if you’re reading this in the week it was posted, it’s either you’re part of the Two Cents mailing family and …
It’s the last Sunday in September… We are approaching the last quarter of the year, and currently, it’s less than 100 days until the end of the year. Counting in months, 3 months seems like a lot of time, but realizing that it’s just 90 days on the calendar gives it a feeling of urgency. …

For starters, even though I’m maintaining my city of residence, I’ll be moving to a new environment, resuming at a new school, and studying with a new set of classmates. I’m …
