Sometimes a small task can grow in wonderful ways.
I was listening to the Geologic Podcast (it has nothing to do with geology), and George Hrab (the host) suggested that everyone should clean out their pen container. We all have a can or a mug or a jar filled with pens that may or may not work. Why do we keep dead pens? It’s easier to put the pen back in the mug instead of it throwing away.
George asked that people send him pictures of their organized pen containers, so after my morning run, I grabbed my mug of pens and tested each pen. However, my pen mug sat on a very messy counter. Instead of ignoring the mess, I cleaned it as well.
Hey! I have a yellow counter. It was so lovely to see it again. It won’t stay clean, but at the time, I was pleased.
I sent a picture to George and thought I would share it here too. I encourage you to clean out your pen holder. It might lead to bigger and better things.
