#My3Things For Difficult Times - Ep 93429 Jul 202401:24:08

Today we talk about the #myThreeThings method of personal and life planning and how it can be used through hard times to help you choose the most important things. We also cover a pantry update, the weekly shopping report, operation independence and more.

UPDATE FROM Fountain.fm
Doggonit Girl - A True Cook With What You Have Moment
I listened to this twice. Love the format. I made a version of the tomato soup. Thank you for reminding me that the garden is so tasty. I found the solution to too much trombocino. I just had a baby Muscovy deficiency. They are like a school of pirahna on the seed ball end. I quarter it. They get two quarters twice a day. I have very little rind left. Grated trombocino and the tomato soup, with an immersion blender makes quite the hearty soup. Too much habanero! Bring out the sour cream.

Weekly Shopping Report From Joe
We went into Dollar Tree for the first time in quite a while this Friday. The food coolers were decently stocked. I didn't see any big changes.

Home Depot price online of a 2x4x8 is still $3.48.

Aldi. I've seen a few new faces in there, both stocking shelves and at the registers. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): 1.35 (+); eggs: $2.46 (-); whole milk: $2.86 (-); heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.79 (+); bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.49; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $3.79.

Rural King. Sonia thought there were a number of empty shelves around, primarily in the livestock area.

A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599.

Operation Independence
Another Hipcamper is coming through, $25 in the hopper

Main topic of the Show: #My3Things For Difficult Times

We haven’t talked about My3Things in awhile

I mean, that is why we build the life we choose on our terms, right?

NEW FOLKS: What #My3Things is
Best practice: Include Family and Establish Consensus

Tips for #my3things success in hard time
10 minutes a day to re-evaluate the Big Picture and what has changed
My 1 Three Thing
Time method versus completion method
ROI on time and outsourcing
No Kill List
Using the areas of focus to keep good care of yourself and those around you
Listen closely to your body
Redefining weekends and days

Do I do the worksheet every day? (What I really really do)

All in all:
What would happen without #my3things
What has declined
The garden production
Spending more $ so the budget is tighter
Number of events and meetups
Declutter Project
R & D time
Speaking engagements and interviews
Tired

What has gone well
Knowing WHAT to outsource so that I can
Keeping focus on the important over the urgent - but usually addressing the urgent
Preventing things that need not go wrong
Legends, SRF, Operation Eyesore, Coffee, Time with Family, Personal Health Progress, Livestock

You can navigate hard time while preserving your highest priorities, your mental and physical health, and still move the ball forward on important life goals - and #My3Things the best crutch I have found.

Make it a great week!

Frugality Tip from Margo

It's holiday baking time!!!!! But not everyone has time, or the funds to make all the cookies. Host a cookie exchange, maybe do it with a potluck. Dinner and a variety of cookies for the price of one batch and one dish. Everyone brings a batch of cookies, and goes home with a variety. Super fun and saves you time and money. 

Happy baking y'all.

  • Pulled a PILE OF MEAT OUT for this week to stay on plan despite the ongoing construction chaos
  • Crockpot roast: onion, garlic, cumin, 1 jar tomato sauce, salt and pepper. Add carrots 4 hours before finish or if you fumble that ball, precook them and add them in

Weekly Shopping Report

12/11/2023

We took our usual trip on Saturday. It was a rather gloomy day, but not truly yucky, and we stayed dry. Traffic was light.
Dollar Tree was first. The coolers (food and drink) are all in decent shape, as though perhaps an effort is being made. The store has become a LOT busier over the past few weeks, and three cashiers were open. Amidst the junk, there are some good finds here. Feel free to listen to Jinne on her "Homestead Corner" YouTube channel; she often does budget Dollar Tree prepper hauls.
Home Depot was second. FYI, they will shake your own paint cans for you, and I don't think there's a charge. The tag was missing in the store, but looking online it looks like a 2x4x8 has gone up 7 cents to $3.25.
Aldi was last. We found everything we wanted, but the chocolate is dwindling again. We got the last small piece of Atlantic Salmon, but the cashier said they were expecting a truck. There were some price adjustments. Staple prices were: milk: $3.02, eggs: $1.66, heavy cream: $4.69, OJ: $3.29, butter: $2.99 (-), bacon: $4.25, potatoes: $3.99 (+), sugar: $3.09, four: $1.99, 80% ground beef: $4.19.
A gallon of untainted regular gasoline is $3.699.
I made a quick second trip to Walgreen's on Sunday to restock vitamin C; somehow our last bottle was nearly empty. FYI, they typically have BOGO deals on vitamins and supplements, or buy one at full price, and the second is half price. The C was BOGO, so we now have a couple years' worth, for around $21. There were holes here and there for certain brands or sizes of various vitamins and supplements, but overall the selection looked complete.

Frugality Tip: none this week

Operation Independence

Poverty Mindset, Project Fatigue, and the color of my floor

Main topic of the Show: 2024 Changes for LFTN

No - I am not pregnant LOL

Remember my epiphany from this year’s word: Breakthrough? Do Less

Healthier Nicole: fitness, family, food, time, Home

With that in mind and having tapped into some of the data for the podcast, your comments and interactions on social media, email requests and more, I realized that 2024 has to bring some changes so here they are:

LFTN, the podcast and show

  1. Tuesday Lives will Become a Stand Alone Podcast
  2. 3 shows a week on a schedule, Monday 2pm, Wednesday 2pm, Friday. 9:30am
  3. Tactical will join me weekly - sometimes one or the other will be solo
  4. Focus and topics: building freedom as an agorist, homesteading life and how to, community, creating success
  5. Weekly Mail and marketing/clerical help
  6. Increase Playfulness - or rather return to it, New shorts series
  7. Clarity on affiliate promotions

THE HOMESTEAD

Refocusing on the things we love most

Building the event center where Tactical lives

Acquiring more land

Collaboration with Dawn Gorham, Homegrown Cooking: Cooking from snout to tail, video based, membership, etc.

SRF and LFTN Spring Workshop (EVENT PLANNER?)

Fewer speaking engagements - why

THE BOOK - an update

Project Accelerators and Mastermind

Holler Roast Coffee - to the moon! (SELL IT?)

Membership schedule for the year - 12 webinars, not monthly

Frugality Tip: None Sent

Operation Independence

  • 90% of my focus is on Holler Roast Right Now
  • A work on podcast schedule: Dec 19 is the last show for 2023 aside from the Night Before Christmas series

Main topic of the Show: 

Usually when I talk about this topic, I am explaining how to transform your home from something that costs you money into something that brings YOU money - or at least pays for itself. A cornerstone of homesteading is finding ways to create value from your home no matter if you have 20 acres and a flock of sheep or if you live on a small urban lot or apartment, there are ways to glean value from your home.

But today, we have a different perspective. Remember how I said it is the many small choices you make each day that matter much more than the ones that seem huge?

>Roaster story vs. spending an extra hour each day communicating about what Holler Roast has to offer for the holidays

>Building a root cellar vs making your meal plan each day or week BEFORE you are hungry

Which brings me to today’s true purpose: Your home provides a solid foundation for your success when done right, and it can hinder your progress if done poorly. #funfacts

Look at power couples: often one addresses the domestic foundation either through personal attention or outsourcing so that the other is freed to focus on financial success - but both are successful at what they do.

Each day, we need some things to happen and this list can be different for everyone, but there are themes:

  1. Proper sleep and activity
  2. Nutritious food and hydration
  3. Clean clothing, grooming, etc
  4. Systems for finding information, managing things that happen

And for the solopreneur: Uninterrupted time to accomplish important tasks (I would say this is necessary for everyone, really) which means nOt hAvinG tO Put oUt fYres aLL tHe thYme.)

Why I am thinking about this topic: 

  • I had things set pretty much

Why is this a thing?

  • CEO Story: Leaving on trips to close deals - the extreme example
  • Home chef for Scott - the intermediate example
  • Your domestic situation vastly impacts your day. It sets wether you are tired, healthy, put together, worried and so much more - so while it may seem counter intuitive, puttin attention to your home and how it supports your priorities is rarely discussed but very important.

SOE Land: the brilliance of the Employee Lunch

Thoughts on a MESSY vs a CLEANY and how to transform your home into something that works for you (Choose standards you are OK with vs museum standards – or embrace your museumness) 

Things you can do to address this - my initial list while I put my life back together

  • Follow One Course Until Successful
    • Email
    • Bill and filing system
    • Laundry mountain
    • The one messy room
    • Backlog balance
    • Remember to eat on plan
    • Etc
  • Journaling to identify what is most important - it may be personal habits, it may be a spatial issue
  • You make space for what is important to you - are you making space for success or failure
  • Phone a friend

Propane Possibilities with AJ Harrison29 Nov 202301:00:12

Today we have an interview with AJ Harrison from Preparing4Prosperity all about propane and its many applications, safety, and more.

Featured Event: Dec 6-10, Live Free Academy Online Health Summit (1st 2 days are FREE): https://livefree.academy/op/exit-and-build-health-summit/?ref=183

AJ’s BIO

AJ's life journey began with learning bullet casting and knife making in his youth. At 17, he explored Africa on a six-month safari, a transformative experience. He later became a volunteer firefighter, dedicating two decades to community service while diversifying his career in construction and plumbing.

Homegrown Gift Ideas - Ep 82027 Nov 202301:01:20

Join me for our annual brainstorm for homegrown gift ideas for the holiday - because allowing gift giving season to bring you down is no good. Better is to choose some things you can hand-make and give to a community of others who appreciate the care over the commercialism.

Tales from the Prepper Pantry

  • Meal planning strategy, no kitchen: Premade stews from freezer, a chicken, pulled pork
  • Incoming cows - not sure when!
  • Outfitting the camper: Crockpot cutting board, and sioux vide
  • Keeping resupply to a minimum through the renovation

Weekly Shopping Report

Black Friday deals going on.

Dollar Tree was first. Although we found parking easily enough, they were busy enough to have three lines open, which is rare, and I saw at least one person stocking shelves. One of the food coolers in the back appears to have croaked, as it was empty ("66" on its display), but all the others were 3/4 full. The drink coolers were in good shape too, except for one making a bad rattling noise intermittently as it tried to start.

Home Depot was next. Ryobi has a new line of USB-charged tools, and we picked up a rotating brush on the spur of the moment. The new batteries are NOT compatible with their old low-voltage ones. They have USB-C ports on them.

Aldi was last. We found everything we wanted. The only muzzle in sight the whole trip was the woman taking care of her mom with cancer, and she'd be wearing it without the scamdemic. Staple prices were: milk: $3.02, eggs: $1.24 (+), heavy cream: $4.69, OJ: $3.29, butter: $3.49 (+), potatoes: $3.49, bacon: $4.49, sugar: $3.09, flour: $1.99, 80% lean ground beef: $4.49.

A gallon of untainted gasoline remains at $3.899.

Frugality Tip from Margo

You can get yourself, or a friend, prepared for an upcoming surgery, life event, or just a day when you don't want to think about what's for dinner, by making up crockpot meals. Chop veggies, add seasonings and bag and freeze. Take the meat out the day before and add the frozen veggies with seasoning to the crockpot. I like to freeze bone broth in ice cube trays and throw a couple in the crockpot with a roast, stew meat or chicken, so add them to the bag of veggies for a quick and easy ready to go meal.  Saves you from ordering that take out, and saves you some time.

Operation Independence

Take advantage of cyber deals that are actual cyber deals - which requires pricing awareness. You can get $.99/lb turkey, 80% off at Wayfair, or other deals this week.

HRC has free gift wrapping through Friday.

Tales from the Prepper Pantry

  • Processed 6 roosters for freezer camp (hand plucked them)
  • Went to smoke our bacon and it turns out there is only 3lbs cured so I will be doing a series on curing bacon as we cure the rest of the bellies
  • Been shopping at the grocery store for fresh veggies even though we usually do not do this
  • “Shepherd’s Pie” and “Stroganoff” to use up winter squash
  • Hoping to find wild mushrooms this week
  • Basing meals on odds and ends

Weekly Shopping Report from Joe

We made our usual three stops today. Dollar Tree was first. Though there is still a good variety there, the plastics area is again beginning to be depleted. We wanted a new trashcan for the bathroom, and we may have gotten the last one of its type. The coolers remain in decent shape for quantity and variety, but they're still not putting any energy drinks in them. Oh well; in this weather, room temperature is okay. I saw the first cloth face-diaper I've seen in quite a while on a woman in here.

Home Depot was next, as I wanted a couple of things for a car toolbag. They have some "Black Friday" stuff out, so it might be worth a look. A 2x4x8 is still $3.18. They have good stocks of alkaline batteries, but still few lithium other than a normal amount of coin cells and CR123. I saw some deals on Ryobi and Milwaukee tool batteries as well.

Aldi was last. We found everything we wanted, including my preferred 70% chocolate. Staple prices were: eggs: $1.23 (decent increase; I hear the parasites have forced the slaughter of millions more birds); milk: $3.02; heavy cream: $4.69; OJ: $3.19; butter: $2.99; bacon: $4.49; potatoes: $3.49; flour: $1.99; sugar: $3.09; 80% lean ground beef: $4.19.

Untainted (i.e. no ethanol) regular gasoline remains at $3.899 per gallon.

Frugality Tip from Will

Last fall a friend of mine was processing turkeys for thanksgiving and she was overwhelmed and it was taking her far longer than expected. So she sent out a request for help. Having processed hundreds of birds I went over and helped get caught up. When we were done she asked "What do I owe you?" I pointed at her amazing garlic bed she has been growing for years and said a few of those. Well this fall I just planted bulbs I grew this year from that garlic. Not only did this help a fellow homesteader, but I now have a strain of garlic that I know grows here and it cost me nothing. As a bonus being 30 minutes apart if something ever happens to either of our garlic beds we can always help each other get restarted.

Weekly Shopping Report from Joe

We took the short version (no Home Depot stop) of our usual trip on Saturday.

Dollar Tree was first. Still no energy drinks in the coolers, but they have plenty on the shelf. The food coolers are pretty full, the drink coolers perhaps a little more than half full now. They've been generally a little busier than in past months, with a single line generally insufficient for the number of customers. It's not food they're buying; I still see a lot of party-crap being sold.

We didn't stop at Home Depot, but looking online, a 2x4x8 has taken a pretty big drop, to $3.18. Their Black Friday deals have apparently started, so we'll make a point of visiting soon.

Aldi was the second stop. I saw a couple more price drops, and no increases since last week. Staple prices were: eggs: $1.11; milk: $3.06; heavy cream: $4.69; OJ: $3.19; butter: $2.99 (drop #1); bacon: $4.49; potatoes: $3.49; flour: $1.99 (drop #2 but might have dropped last week); sugar: $3.09. I may add ground beef to the list; 80% was $4.19/lb.

A gallon of untainted regular remains at $3.899. I really like that the Kona gets ~28-30mpg.

Weekly Shopping Report from Joe

Aldi: We found everything we wanted. A few prices dropped this week. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): 1.25 (-); eggs: $2.55 (-); whole milk: $2.92; heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.59; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.49; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $3.79.

We didn't go into Home Depot again this week, but the price online of a 2x4x8 is still $3.48.

A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599. 

Frugality Tip

My frugal tip is not a money tip, it’s a time tip  

Watering trees:  Hubby and I spent way too much time watering new trees around our property.  We found some cheap five gallon buckets, drilled four holes in the bottom using his smallest drill bit. Now to water a tree, we put the bucket beside the tree on the up side if it’s on a hill and fill the bucket up and walk away. Let the bucket do the work.  The water slowly drains out of the bucket into the ground to the roots where you want the water, not running off because the hose delivers the water too fast.

Operation Independence

  • Trading Lamb for Beef

Main topic of the Show: Preparing For After THE FALL

    • Resist
    • Real Relationships: Take the time you have to learn about and build true community – and family –  groups based on real trust rather than fake marketing to help each other and do better - kind of like a school of fish versus one love fish. 
    • Alternative Economy: Tap into your inner agorist. We have everything we need to prosper right here. We have the skills, the knowledge, the connections, the tools. We just have to stop depending on THE SYSTEM and start being OUR system (Note this does not mean do not use the tools we have from THE SYSTEM)
    • Financial Ducks In A Row: Debt, money enterprise, Bitcoin, etc
    • Get Out Of The Way: Moving to the country…
    • Health Matters: 
    • Digital Hygiene: Last week the Internet broke. That is your early warning. Ill be sharing my journey starting with an Above Phone FWIW.
    • Grow Your Own Food: Garlic Self Reliant example. If you literally cannot ir will not grow your own food, see item 2.
    • Take Security Seriously: The police shooting in Cookeville TN
  • Resist

Most importantly - STOP PANIC PREPPING

Weekly Shopping Report from Joe

We made our trip on Saturday, as usual. The first stop, also as usual, was Dollar Tree. Stock looks good there, from the shelves to the coolers, for both food and drinks. The store was busy enough for the one woman working a register to holler for "All to the front!"

Our second stop was Hobby Lobby, where Sonia added some stencils for her crafting. She actually found the ones she wanted in the baking area, and those are a lot cheaper than the ones in papercraft aisles.

We skipped Home Depot, but looking online a 2x4x8 is unchanged this week, at $3.48.
Aldi was last. I don't think the produce looked anywhere near as good as in recent weeks. Most of the bananas were very green. The cantaloupes looked old and wrinkled, and the few bags of green grapes left just didn't look that good, so I got a bag of dried dates instead. The chocolate section continues to diminish, but an alternate I like was available. Staple prices were: eggs: $1.11, milk: $3.02, heavy cream: $4.69, OJ: $3.19, butter: $3.29, bacon: $3.99, potatoes (10 lbs.): $5.59, flour: $2.19, and sugar: $3.09.

A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.899.

Frugality Tip from Margo

Traveling can end up costing a lot of money. With the choice of hotels over Air BNB, hotels sometimes look like a better choice. But when you get a house you have a kitchen and most of the time a washer and dryer. A trip to a local farm stand and/or a grocery store to buy food to cook will actually save you money over eating out. And you know what you are eating. So way in your meals on you choice of hotel vs. Air BNB and you will find a few more dollars for a house, is actually a savings.

Sarah Thompson uses the tools of classical homeopathy and shamanic perspectives to help you heal at the deepest level of susceptibility with safe homeopathic remedies and curated personal support. Her own path to transformational healing came through her diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia in 2010; if you are struggling with chronic ill health on any level, and feel as if you can’t get answers or make sustained progress, Homeopathy clears the way. Sarah trained at the Baylight Center for Homeopathy, the Academy for Homeopathic Education, Jaguar Path School of Shamanism, and Nancy Frederick Attunement, and holds certifications and registrations from the Association for International Homeopathic Certification, the Council for Homeopathic Certification, and the North American Society of Homeopaths

Frugality Tip from Dan

My first tip is to have gorilla tape, wherever you go. If you have quality pens that you can replace the ink, wrap it with as much tape as is comfortable for writing, and keep it until you use it. You never know when some formally tape is the difference between driving home and getting towed, which is a big difference of time and money. Also, who knows what other problems can be fixed for long enough to replace or properly fix the issue. It has saved my butt.

Operation Independence

  • Spending money to set a foundation for future success
