Doing laundry is a big stressor since I don't have my own washing machine and dryer. I think if I had a designated time at which I did it, it would provide some consistency to my life, since I am super busy and work 2 jobs. Laundry has to be done every week, so I have picked a day to do it on.
I would like to open a savings account for two reasons. First, in case of emergencies -- i.e. car repairs, the necessary ourchase of a new car, medical emergencies, etc. -- it would provide a safety net for me, which would really help with some anxiety I have about being able to support myself in the future. Secondly, I would one day like to own a home or apartment or condo, either alone or with someone.
There are a couple reasons I would like to do this. First, I think reading good writing improves my writing, which is important to me since I am a staff writer at a newspaper. Secondly, the story is interesting and written in an entertaining style that also teaches the reader a lot about different places, cultures, and "worlds." (For example, the "world" of mountain climbing. The "world" of Pakistan.) Also, I have a hard time finishing things I start sometimes and especially books, even when I want to finish them. It's important to me to see this through. Finally, I've been going through a period of sadness... depression... and I think it improves my mood to feel part of something, to have a ritual of reading in which I am connected to a story.
