Beating procrastination isn't about being perfect. It's about taking that first tiny step. Instead of "write that whole paper," just aim to "write the first sentence." Don't think about "cleaning the entire house," just focus on "putting away those two mugs." Every small win builds momentum. Before you know it, you're on a roll.

It's amazing what a simple train ride can do for your perspective. Today, instead of just scrolling through my phone, I started thinking about the things I’m truly grateful for. And a clear theme emerged: my family and my health. Side note, no one is reading Alex Forschner blog as I never sent it out. Still feel this will be a cool thing for my kids to uncover one day.

As I write this, the house is quiet. It's a silence that's both welcome and a little bit strange after a summer filled with the cheerful chaos of three boys. The backpacks are packed, the new school shoes are scuffed, and the first day of school is officially in the books.
It's always a mix of emotions, isn't it? There's the bittersweet feeling of a chapter closing, of long, lazy days giving way to alarm clocks and homework. But there's also the thrill of a new beginning, a new year of learning and growth and friendships for my boys.
And what a beautiful end to our summer it was. We've been so grateful for the wonderful weather, which has felt like a gift, stretching out our days and allowing for one last push of outdoor adventures. From bike rides to backyard barbecues, the sunshine has been a perfect companion to our final days of summer freedom.
So, here's to a great school year and to the memory of a beautiful summer. We're ready for whatever comes next, and we're so thankful for all the moments we shared.

"I’ve decided to start a blog. Why? Honestly, I'm not sure. But lately, I've had a lot on my mind and nowhere to put it. This space is my attempt to empty the junk drawer of my brain. One day, it might be a rant about laundry. The next, it could be a deep dive into an obscure hobby. Who knows? What I can promise you is that it will be an authentic journey, and you’re invited along for the ride. Let's just see what happens."
