I’ve been brainstorming today about what changes would fundamentally change the equation for me and the family. Here are things I have identified:
- Make an unbreakable habit of daily prayer (how?)
- Fast with purpose
- Attend the temple regularly
- Regular family scripture study (is that even possible for us?)
- Increase income by $1000/month
- Get a job and a boss that don’t cause heartburn (one where success seems possible and/or I have a real sense of purpose)
I was observing the work that various members of the family did throughout the day and the results were telling (although basically predictable): I did more work than everyone else combined; Savannah did as much as we could ask of her which was a little more than should be expected of an 18-year-old; Alyssa did hardly any actual work coupled with lots of hiding out pretending to be working when actually mostly napping; Mariah did slightly more work than Alyssa while claiming a little less than Alyssa claimed (her claims were still far from accurate); Isaac and Laura did nothing of note all day.
